“Om Shanti, Shanti, Peace. …It’s good to find refuge, something to rely on, solace, beyond this saha world, so tenuous, so bubbly, so fickle, like a dewdrop. Finding something reliable. In Buddhism we call it ‘taking refuge’, finding a port in the storm of samsara, of confusion and delusion. Something to rely on – the higher power, the inner power. We have our higher power in Buddhism too – don’t think we don’t – Awareness – with a capital A+. Awareness, cosmic consciousness, beyond mere thoughts. We can find this within. Just Being. Peace. Harmony. Inclusiveness. You can find that in Being with a capital B+. Being is primary – upstream from doing and becoming. So just sitting, relaxing, being.” ~ Lama Surya Das
