This Thursday we will be investigating the third precept or training principle of Buddhism to do with living with more simplicity, stillness and contentment with who we are and doing what we find meaningful in life. We could think about the ways in which our thoughts and energies are constantly searching for something outside us to bring a sense of belonging, adventure and calm. Buddhism teaches that we have all we need here and now within us. We don't need to keep searching outside ourselves.
The Buddha above is touching mother earth with his right hand. She witnesses that he has gone beyond all chasing after contentment in the outside world. His face, is the face of contentment with the vast inner experience of consciousness. He is still connected deeply with people and the world and acts spontaneously and with compassion to everyone he encounters. Images of your vision in life can speak more than a thousand words.
Look forward to seeing on Thursday.
