Like the Full Moon at Its Peak

The Buddha’s universal antidote to suffering is activated in the heart. It works through pure undiluted awareness when we begin to taste a boundless peace – far from fear, worry, or depression. Practise this pure presence and directly see your true nature. So where is the ‘self’ that we forever concoct, grasp, cherish and cling to? Witness consciousness just as it is – empty of thought or opinion – and let go. Know freedom directly. Seeing we are all one, sustain this awareness that leans towards Nibbana – just as the full moon at its peak. This is liberation itself.  Ottawa Buddhist Society reflections
