Reflecting the lightness of being
Waking up is hard to do. We get there with a little help from our friends. Community is invaluable.
It is difficult to see that our minds construct reality from the confluence of our personal senses, feelings, memories, and mind — the Buddhist skandhas. Not a problem, actually, if we see what’s happening.
Sort of a modern version of karma. We sometimes, not always, author the difficulty we encounter.
This is a variation of the koan known as Joshu’s Dog — Does a dog have Buddha nature?
You are invited to join us for Buddhist meditation at The Yoga Center in North Augusta.
