This Very Body of the Buddha
ㅤ
Hakuin’s poem, The Song of Meditation, ends with the lines:
This very place the Lotus Paradise. This very body the Buddha.
How mysterious and wonderful to know that Nirvana is nowhere other than right where we are and that Buddha is within us! Buddhism tells us that the Buddha was born as we are born and what the Buddha attained, we too can attain. This means that we have Buddha nature within us, yet our experience is usually a very long way from the serenity, compassion and wisdom of the Enlightened One. However, we should have confidence that our practice of meditation and our intention to lead an ethical life, takes us in the direction of discovering our Buddha nature. The confidence and faith that we need is just as much in ourselves as in Buddhism. Confidence grows as we familiarise ourselves with our mind in all its states. Join Vajraguptā for a morning of meditation and a short talk on the theme.
