Buddhist Women on a Path of Spiritual Awakening
The Buddha guides our way to inner purity and awakening through cultivating the special qualities of universal love. First, we devote ourselves to a noble life of virtue, kindness, and care for others. We practise humility, patience and forgiveness, and observe our own conduct – instead of blaming or judging others’ faults. Each day, for as many moments as possible, we abide in the sublime states of loving-kindness, compassion, and gratitude for the blessings of our life. These practices bestow peace of heart and equanimity with all conditions – and towards all manner of beings. Truly, we shall know deliverance of the heart from all suffering.
