Your Life Is in Your Hand
This talk details the interconnectedness of life manifesting in spring, emphasizing that manifestation is a continuation, not birth. Through meditation, we realize our true nature beyond birth and death, recognizing our body is not our true self. Buddha’s teaching advises viewing the body as “mine” rather than “me” to ease suffering. Our consciousness and body are interconnected, carrying the essence of ancestors. Deep contemplation reveals our lineage, liberating us from the illusion of a separate self. Through mindfulness, concentration, and insight, we perceive continuity beyond physical form. Actions through body, speech, and mind shape karma, emphasizing interconnectedness and compassion. Buddhism’s teachings, like the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path, reveal impermanence and interconnectedness, guiding liberation from the illusion of self. The insight of no-self transforms suffering into healing and happiness. The importance of completing contributions for the anniversary book is stressed, with a deadline set for today.
