“To remember the #Buddha at the highest level is to accept that all sentient beings, not just human beings, have the inherent goodness that #Buddhists call ‘buddha nature’; and this kind of remembrance is very similar to the ultimate practice of #refuge.” — “Best Foot Forward: A Pilgrim’s Guide to the Sacred Sites of the Buddha” by #Dzongsar #Khyentse #Rinpoche
Today is #Saga #Dawa #Duchen, the day of Buddha’s #Enlightenment and #Parinirvana. On this auspicious day, let us take a moment to remember Lord Buddha and aspire to always follow his footsteps.

There is a big difference between “brightsiding” the world and genuinely seeing the goodness in others. In the latter we train the mind in recognizing the fundamental nature of all beings, which has an element that desires to love and be loved. This is a natural and innate move towards interconnection. Here rather than bypassing and ignoring the suffering of the world, seeing beyond our judgements of others gives us the strength to help and lift them up compassionately if necessary. Change will not come from aggression, that would be like trying to stop a flood by lighting it on fire. .
