The Dharma (aka Buddhism) is like the Ocean: vast, deep, and gradual in its slope - no sudden precipices.
This simile reminds us that spiritual understanding deepens over time, not through force, but through gentle, consistent effort.

Loving-Kindness (Metta) 🪷
Cultivating Metta involves sending goodwill to all beings, fostering compassion and connection.
Metta begins with extending kind thoughts to oneself, then gradually to loved ones, strangers, and even those we find difficult. 🙏🙏

Mandalas represent the universe and the Mind's structure, used in meditation to realize the interconnectedness of all. In Tibetan Buddhism, they are often made from colored sand - meant to be destroyed after completion. This deliberate dissolution expresses the core truth of impermanence. 🙏

Ten Thousand Things, One Suchness 🪷
Zen sees the world not as separate pieces, but as one Suchness. Washing a bowl, walking, breathing - it’s all Buddha nature. Enlightenment is not elsewhere. It’s Here, in Now. 🙏

The Sound of One Hand ☸️
“What is the sound of one hand clapping?”
This Zen Koan can’t be answered by logic. It’s a gate - not to answers - but to Direct Experience. It's message is to go Beyond thinking... It teaches the Art of Listening. 🙏

In Buddhism, Shunyata (Emptiness) doesn’t mean nothing exists. Emptiness means nothing exists independently on its own. Everything is connected. Things and Phenomenon are Empty of their own independent existence. 🙏

The Bodhisattva Vow ☸️
In Mahayana Buddhist tradition, the Bodhisattvas don’t seek Nirvana for themselves alone. They vow to return again and again until all beings are freed from suffering. Compassion is a lifelong path. 🙏🙏

Before enlightenment, The Buddha (as Siddhartha Gautama) practised extreme asceticism. He later realized that both (worldly) indulgence and (spiritual) self-mortification miss the point. Balance is the path - this is the Middle Way. 🙏🙏

“All is burning,” said The Buddha in the Adittapariyaya Sutta (Samyutta Nikaya, Pali Canon) - burning with greed, hatred, and delusion. The path to peace begins when we see this clearly and stop fueling the fire. 🙏

In the Mahatanhasankhaya Sutta, a monk named Sati believed consciousness was a permanent entity (like a Soul). Lord Buddha corrected him - Consciousness is not fixed, but like a flame, rising and fading with each moment - Moment to Moment.
