Joy Is Every Step – Parallax Press

Are you planting seeds of joy and peace? I try to do exactly that with every step. Peace is every step. Shall we continue our journey?

Life is not a particular place or a destination. Life is a path. To practice walking meditation is to go without needing to arrive. Every step can bring us peace, joy, and liberation. That is why we walk in the spirit of aimlessness. There is no way to liberation, peace, and joy; peace and joy are themselves the way. Our appointment with the Buddha

A lot of meditation is just showing up for what we have, and there is joy in that. It’s diferent from the kind of happi- ness that comes from getting what you wanted. It’s a joy that doesn’t have a good reason. It’s a joy that allows you to be sad or upset, because you’re alive in the midst of it.

choose to walk in such a way that every step can bring you joy, peace, and happiness. You may like to remember that others are also walking like that, and we can feel connected with each other. Connection is very important.

Practicing the Immeasurable Mind of Joy extinguishes sadness and joylessness in the hearts of living beings.
