BUDDHISM

Buddhism brings me solace
I am able to slow  down
Flying high above the clouds
It pulls me back, back  to the ground.

Feeling calm, somewhat serene
I know just what I need to do
Relax and stay focused
My anxiety subdued.

Mindful meditation
Purposeful and kind
Helps to ease my burden
Helps to ease my troubled mind.

Conscious self awareness
Enhances concentration
Karma, our destiny and fate
Helps me focus, gain  direction.

Three different Buddha teachings
Sila, Prajna and Samadhi
Give me a sense of calmness
Make me almost want to cry.

I am new to Buddha’s teachings
I am humbled, grateful, too
If you’d like to come to temple
I would like to go with you.

– NAMASTE –

    1. Hi! I purchased an audio book: BUDDHIST BOOTCAMP by Timber Hawkeye. Check him out at buddhistbootcamp.com. I’m new to all of this. I just enjoyed listening to him and thought his book was very helpful. Thank you for reading my post. As always, I appreciate your comments. 🙂
