Buddha as Experience
Morning meditation — Time, as we commonly know it.
‘Time, as we commonly know it, is a construct of the conditioned mind. Hours, minutes, and seconds — though practical for navigating the world — are little more than measurements imposed upon the infinite.’
Everyday Buddhism
Morning meditation — The courage that sustains us when insight seems distant.
‘The courage that sustains us when insight seems distant, that carries us through the inevitable ups and downs of practice. It is the courage to continue, to trust, to open, to be with whatever arises, knowing that Buddha is not somewhere else but here, in our own experience.’
Everyday Buddhism

Everyday Buddhism
Morning meditation — As we practise, a subtle shift begins.
‘As we practise, a subtle shift begins. The more we turn our attention inward, the more we come to sense that life’s deepest truths do not yield to control or analysis. Instead, these truths reveal themselves when we stop trying to define or grasp them.’
Everyday Buddhism
Morning meditation — It is the courage to let go of the familiar.
‘It is the courage to let go of the familiar, to step into the unknown, and to trust in awareness and wisdom, even when the path ahead is unclear.’
Everyday Buddhism

Everyday Buddhism
Morning meditation — Buddha is the quality of awareness that notices without judgement.
‘Buddha is the quality of awareness that notices without judgement, the compassion that arises naturally when we let go of our self-centred views, the wisdom that knows the impermanence and interdependence of all things.’
