Loving Kindness Is The Heart Of The Dharma
Posted by Ken Lauher
The Buddha once described the spiritual path leads to nirvana or perfect freedom as "the liberation of the heart and mind, which is love." Learning to love life in all forms, and to love unconditionally is the way of Dharma.
Unconditional love and compassion, as embodied by Chenresig and as taught by many Buddhist masters, is something that I personally feel strongly about. In the presence of my spiritual friends and teachers I have often experienced both unconditional love and a total acceptance of myself, just as I am.
This is a very rare and precious experience I think; this sense of belonging is probably one of the main reasons why I stayed in the monastic sangha in Asia as long as I did.
My teacher's pure perception of me, just as I am, helped me to connect more completely to who I am. In the mirror of the awakened teacher's clear seeing, I could better know my higher sense and my true inner nature.
I had a distorted picture of myself, and perhaps you have one of yourself. These invaluable Dharma teachings encouraged me to know that it is possible for everyone - not just a guru or monk, and not just the Buddha - but me and you too - to connect to the Buddha within. The authentic Buddha is beyond time and place, beyond gender, beyond form or nationality. You carry a Buddha with you right now, in your heart.
A great Indian master once said, "Wisdom tells me I am nothing; love tells me I am everything. Between the two, my life flows."
