| What is Buddha? Buddha is the original good nature within us. We all have the Buddha in us. we are not aware of it because of the delusion we have had in identify ourselves with our body and not with our mind that is right in us. the mind in us which is different from the brain, is the Buddha within. the brain is not the mind because the brain is actually a part of the body. what is not the body is the mind; what is the mind is not the body. that part of you or your body that you don't mind is the mind. What is Dharma? Dharma is the Law, the law of nature the law of the Truth; the law that governs the workings of our body; therefore, Dharma is seen within us; when we focus in look at our body we see the Dharma; when we see the Dharma we see the Buddha within too. What is Sangha? Sangha is the community or group of people who share the same belief and faith in the Buddha within and have respect for each other for the Buddha we carry in us, and willingly allow the Dharma to guide us in the way we live and are willing and commit to support each other within the Sangha in the right attempt to get rid of the suffering from life.

| Look at the Sunset at the beach and imagine you are the sea, cool and calm, and let all the suffering you have in you be dissolved in the vastness of the water of the Sea. May the merits you have saved in your life effect this positive change in you, and may your life from now on have much less suffering than before.......... together we pray to Buddha within, together we bow to the Dharma to guide us, together we pledge to be the Sangha. with much metta, deep bows, Des |
