Everyday Buddhism: Making Everyday Better
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
A special mini episode, celebrating our interdependence. Listen as I share a reflection on what I call my "Buddhist-Born-Again moment."
I finally learned what the Buddha taught. I finally saw that one of—if not THE most important foundations of Buddhist practice—is becoming aware of your inherent ignorance and the limitations of self.
It is surprisingly freeing to realize that we are NOT really the masters of our destiny, because the choices we make about the thoughts we will think and the actions we will take are a product of a complex web of experiences, surroundings, and relationship—of which everyone else is a part.
It is a seeming paradox that accepting our ignorance and our dependence on others can provide our ultimate freedom. In that humble, yet active acceptance we embrace what my late teacher, Rev. Koyo Kubose, expresses as “acceptance IS transcendence.” In doing so, we are declaring our interdependence.
