Inner Splendor

What is grace in this world? When noble qualities flower within us, that is grace. We come to know our true nature as we witness the pure mind’s transcendent luminosity. Listening to the Buddha’s teachings, we learn how to open the gates to the Deathless and experience for ourselves this inner splendor. The more we understand ourselves to this depth, the more our wisdom, love, and compassion ripen. So true grace is awakening itself. As the benefactors of the Buddha’s enlightenment, we live these teachings everyday in our activities and relationships. Ottawa Buddhist Society, Dec. 17, 2021
