“As a water bead on a lotus leaf,
as water on a red lily,
does not adhere,
so the sage
does not adhere
to the seen, the heard, or the sensed” -The Buddha
If we let go of attachment, we will find peace. This is the teaching of all Buddhas.

“There are thousands upon thousands of students who have practised meditation and obtained its fruits.
Do not doubt its possibilities because of the simplicity of the method.
If you cannot find the truth right where you are,
where else do you expect to find it?” -Dogen, 13th c. AD

The Buddha says in the Diamond Sutra that we should practice giving without attachment to thought or perception.
Therefore, if we can practice generosity, give compassion to our family & relatives, without expecting anything, it will benefit everyone.

“The Buddha completely perceives the true characteristics of the Threefold World as they are: there is no birth or death, no ebbing or arising. Neither is there present existence and subsequent extinction, substantial reality or fictitious imagination, same or different.”

For those whose only interaction with Buddhism has been watered down western secularist takes, I thought I would share a bit about a more traditional school of Buddhism that many may be unaware of, Pure Land. Pure Land Buddhism is in fact the most widely practiced school in Mahayana Buddhism. 1/5

A quote by the Japanese monk Nichiren:
"The Lotus Sutra is the path to the enlightenment of all people, and through its practice, we can overcome all obstacles and sufferings."
The Lotus: a path to enlightenment and relief from suffering.
May all beings find peace.
