For more, go to A second look at Vesak. Be pure. Don't go for all or for broke...
Lord Gautama Buddha Do good Avoid evil Purify the mind This is the teaching of the Buddhas. |
Enlightenment is simple and it means how to be
pure. There is no need to be able to astral travel, walk on water or walk
through a wall. Magicians can do that but are they at peace? It is difficult
for those blinded by false views to perceive that ultimate peace lies in being
pure, neither denying life nor clinging more to life. In short, we should
neither go for broke or for all. We should be pure and peaceful by staying atop
and balancing life as portrayed by the seated image of Lord Bo Tien with feet on
top of and balancing the polarities.
Lord Bo Tien |
