Live Well Through Observing the Precepts
Observing the precepts is the concrete manifestation of compassion and the bodhisattva path.
Careful in Speech, Controlled in Body
Control of the body means that we know when to act, and when not to act and that we know how to behave with moderation.
The Beauty of Being Natural
All these naturally beautiful landscapes of the world are odes of praise to the beauty and wonder of nature. The beauty of nature is really enchanting and fascinating!
The Mind is the Source of Unwholesomeness
The Buddha often explained emptiness and impermanence by getting people to think about how phenomena arise, change, and decline.
Grounding Relationships in Oneness
When we can practice viewing ourselves and others through a lens of oneness, we will no longer engage in meaningless mind games that prevent us from forming positive connections with all beings.
Be Satisfied with What You Have
Greed narrows our vision as it obscures the wealth of wisdom contained in our inherent Buddha nature.
