A Panda's Journey
“We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in terms of being. We think that when we are not doing anything, we are wasting our time.
But that is not true. Our time is first of all for us to be.
To be what? To be alive, to be peaceful, to be joyful, to be loving. And that is what the world needs most.”
— Thich Nhat Hahn
To be or to do? I say both.
Let us always “be”, even as we do.
Meditation is a wonderful place to cultivate “being”.
“People say walking on water is a miracle, but to me walking peacefully on earth is the real miracle.”
— Thich Nhat Hahn
I think most people would rather observe a miracle than have peace of mind, and I can’t blame them.
To see Jesus walk on water would be quite the sight.
But what if there was a deep cosmic miraculous peace within each of us?
Supposedly the Kingdom of Heaven is within each of us, and I believe that.
That seems like a miracle – to seek the kingdom of heaven and find it within yourself…
How can we begin to obtain inner peace?
Meditation is a good place to start.
Here is a meditation guide I wrote that can help — just ignore the psychedelic part of it (although psychedelics are helping many humans now and into the future.)
Begin with this.
