I'm Not Caught in This Body
Gathering in New Hamlet in 1998, teachings emphasize Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, highlighting Buddha nature in all beings, including animals, plants, and rocks. A butcher’s transformative story illustrates innate potential for awakening. An abbot’s compassionate act of delaying the temple bell awakens a butcher’s compassion, transforming his knife into a nurturing tree. The Coconut Monk’s mindfulness bell from bullets symbolizes transformation. Stories of Buddha’s teachings, mindful breathing, and interconnectedness transcend notions of birth and death, fostering peace and non-fear. Recognizing ancestors within us, practicing mindfulness, and restoring harmony deepen our connection to eternal life.
