Buddhist Women on a Path of Spiritual Awakening
The Buddha’s medicine is a universal gift for the mind that helps us see what is apparent here and now, and is timeless. We investigate within the heart so that we can know the truth of what we are. It’s like taking a selfie of the heart to be able to recognize it. But to free ourselves from suffering, we must not shy away from studying the Four Noble Truths which so beautifully teach the causes of suffering, how it ends, and the path to awakening. With the deepening of insight, we wake up to know our true nature – conscious ever-present awareness. Even as the world cycles through times of peace, wars, chaos and clarity, our heart’s refuge is forever pure boundless awareness – compassion and peace without borders.
