We must practice and realize enlightenment in society.But why does this have to be in society?
What’s wrong with just meditating in the mountains?
We do this to assess and confirm the growth of our spirits.
How can we know how much our unseen spirit has grown?
Character reveals the spirit.
Character is the spirit manifested in relationships.
So your character shows how much your spirit has grown.
In the relationships we encounter in society,
we sometimes experience the pain of conflict and broken hopes.
But by purifying our habits and memories through such experiences,
we create a harmonious character, entangled and hindered by nothing.
When we practice enlightenment,
our spirits are completed through the trust in ourselves,
through the joy and peace that appear within.
I am so inspired by Dr. Ilchi Lee’s words. |
One Response to “Enlightenment is action”
This is like a breath of fresh air, thank you.
