Awaken to Your True Self
"Buddha" literally means “awakened one.”
Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha saw into the cause of human suffering and found a path to a happy and meaningful life. The path of Buddhism is the path to awakening or realization. We awaken to our true self, which is one with all beings and all things.
Anyone and anything can be a teacher to us, if we have the heart and mind to listen, to learn, and to receive.
"If one walks looking far ahead and pays no attention to the ground beneath his feet, he will stumble. If one gazes critically upon others and forgets to look into himself, he will bring tragedy upon himself. "
—Rennyo Shonin
