Each moment of life, with all it's apparent imperfections and shortcomings, is complete, perfect and sacred just the way it is. Nothing needs to be added, subtracted or changes in anyway----NOTHING, that is, except your perception, your point of view. Throughout history, all the great masters and sages have realized this essential truth. In fact, this truth is your birthright, your natural state.
As simple as this truth may seem, however, it tends to elude us because we've been conditioned to view life in terms of the apparent seperate self we imagine ourselves to be. From this point of view, which is grounded in time, life is a struggle to survive in a difficult, imperfect world.
The spiritual 'journey' involves awakening us from this dream of seperation and realizing that peace and joy of our essential nature, which is pure wakefulness or presence, untouched and undisturbed by the struggles and circumstances of life. Only by awakening to your essential nature can you experience complete relief from suffering and dissatisfaction --what the Buddha called "sure heart's release."
This is just some of the ideas and concepts that come from Buddhism.....I will be blogging a lot regarding Buddha's teachings and concepts and ways Buddhism can bring a nice calming, peacful effect to your life. For me Buddhism gives me a really healthy mindful perspective in life. I do not choose 1 religion I have a path of my own and I am grateful for all of the different paths God has put on this earth for us to learn from.
If you are struggling currently in your life, with any situation as most of us are, the teachings and ideas here, if you allow yourself to be open can help you in your stuggles no matter what the struggle is.........
To Be Continued.......
