Buddha is the quality of awareness that observes without judgement, the compassion that arises naturally when we let go of our self-centred views.
Experience
Buddha as Person, Buddha as Experience.
As we live it, our practice becomes the vessel that carries us forward, and with each moment of awareness, we touch upon the truth the Buddha himself encountered under the Bodhi tree.
The Buddha’s Meeting with Upaka
The Buddha’s awakening was not some flashy miracle but a quiet, serene realisation of the nature of suffering.
In the heart of the Buddha’s teachings lies a profound caution.
The danger is that insights, once grasped, can easily harden into words.
