Christmas Dt - Faith
This talk details nurturing the inner child embodying the Buddha’s spirit, emphasizing the Buddhist practice of beginning anew akin to welcoming the Holy Spirit. Love, known as bodhicitta, gives strength and courage, embodying the future Buddha, Maitreya. Faith rooted in direct insight prevents suffering and fanaticism, emphasizing mindfulness in daily life. Buddhism teaches liberation from harmful notions, fostering genuine happiness. Faith grows through direct experience, akin to perfecting a skill like baking fruitcake or walking meditation. True enlightenment transcends illusions, rooted in mindfulness and concentration. Faith prevents imposing beliefs, fostering kindness and unity. Understanding transcends rigid notions, embracing life’s eternal essence. Buddhism and Christianity can enrich each other, emphasizing mindfulness and divine presence in the here and now. Engage deeply with each moment, embracing eternal essence, transcending birth and death. The kingdom resides within, emphasizing nourishment of faith, love, and tolerance. Eat mindfully, awakening to divine presence, nurturing the child within. Merry Christmas.
