This talk details the importance of connecting with spiritual guides like Buddha and Jesus to find relief from suffering and cultivate peace, calm, and joy. It emphasizes transcending appearances and concepts to truly grasp their essence, as taught in the Diamond Sutra and through Zen teachings. Spiritual growth involves symbolic death and rebirth, embracing change, and nurturing seeds of liberation, solidity, and harmony within ourselves. Mindfulness practices like breathing, walking, and mindful bowing help cultivate inner peace and compassion, transforming harmful habits and fostering reconciliation. Being part of a Sangha, or spiritual community, provides stability and support in practicing mindfulness and connecting with the divine. Recognizing the divine within and practicing mindfulness in daily life are key to breaking free from damaging patterns and nurturing positive habits.
