The Beauty of the Moment
Manage episode 252988702 series 2579256
The Buddha was a human being who by his own efforts discovered the path towards Enlightenment and was able to communicate this path for others to follow. His life is full of stories that that are of relevance for those of us today who wish to follow the path towards Enlightenment.
Manjurava from a talk entitled Stories of Awakening: Parinirvana given at Cambridge Buddhist Centre, 2019, as part of Sub35s.
This human life is precious
an opportunity to awaken
but this body is impermanent
one day I shall die
so this life I must know as
a tiny splash of a raindrop
a thing of beauty that disappears
even as it comes into being.
~Tsongkapa
