Sublime

Begin by nourishing yourself with joyful feelings. Practice walking meditation outside, enjoying the fresh air, the trees, the stars in the night sky. What do you do to nourish yourself? It is important to discuss this subject with dear friends to find concrete ways to nourish joy and happiness.

The Buddha describes the ease that comes as we let go: “As a bee takes the essence of a flower and pollen without destroying its beauty or perfume, so the wise wander freely in this life, carrying only blessings.”

One of the important teachings for our time is the three-word mantra, “I have enough,” or, “We have enough.”

There are three truths—traditionally called three marks—of our existence: impermanence, suffering, and egolessness.

Therefore the Buddha devised the doctrine that is called the Middle Way, that is neither ascetic nor hedonistic.
