Buddha’s teaching invites us to see things as they are, not as we wish them to be. It encourages us to sit quietly and investigate the reality of suffering, impermanence, and not-self, and to cultivate the wisdom to let go.

Night night everyone.

Afternoon Meditation: In the teachings of the Buddha, dāna (giving) holds a place of great significance. At its most basic level, giving is an ethical practice that cultivates generosity, selflessness, and compassion.
