Uncompromising Nobility
|
| We practise to emulate the qualities of the Buddha as we deepen our inner renewal. The path to awakening is a discipleship in nobility; a way of peace, kindness, and compassion. Fearless in the good, we dedicate ourselves to forgiveness, purity, and healing. This is our birthright. Wiser, surefooted, joyous, and unrelenting, we cultivate an unshakeable peace that takes us to the Deathless |

Selfless Drive to Nibbana

Ayya Medhanandi

We are travelling a spiritual highway. Our precepts are like safety belts – upholding the core of our humanity with moral restraints that serve as both compass and anchor. They also act like brakes on our Dhamma vehicle, safeguarding us through the wilderness of the world while grounding the mind in an integrity of presence. With pure awareness, we have a stethoscope of the mind, steering and balancing us joyfully on the path so that we can wake up out of the darkness. We carry the Buddha in our hearts like an imperishable lamp, a supremely compassionate parent, our wise and formidable shepherd to help us overcome every hardship. Yes, we’re in self-drive – selfless – crossing to the far shore, Nibbana.

Even Owls Know Who

Ayya Medhanandi

Who are we? More than two and a half millennium ago, the Buddha hesitated to teach us, but he relented for the benefit of those with little dust in their eyes. Can we actually clear the dust away, earnestly, patiently – studying, examining and probing within to know the truth of what we are? It is a great blessing to be able to undertake this work. We have only to open our hearts to the journey, persevere and pierce the veil of ignorance. Just as the morning sun bathes the world with light, guided by the Buddha's map of consciousness, we shall come to know the highest peace.
