The Sangha was not a hierarchy, but a collective of equals — a ‘horizontal’ community where mutual support and shared aspiration were central.’ Everyday Buddhism

When your path is headed into stormy weather look for the rainbow and you might find two! 🌈 ⛈️ 🕊️

Seize the day

Sometimes we are so busy looking elsewhere we miss the beauty in our own backyard. #fireworks #bepresent #gratitude #mindfulness #beherenow

In not seeking, but being present in observation we find stillness. When we create inner stillness gentleness and peace will find us. Connect with nature to nurture your nature. Allow what you seek to find you. #meditation #mindfulness #peace #bepresent #nature #gentleness #beherenow #breathe

Allow your life to unfold organically. Break away from form and dissolve to release your essence of life. Observe the unfolding instead of forcing it and see how what you create exceeds your wildest dreams. #mindfulness #bepresent #meditation #livelife #gratitude #create #mushrooms #buddhism

🌈 Happy Pride Month!
I’m a proud LGBTQ+ artist working in raku and traditional pottery — and I’d be so honored if you share my work.

This Pride, I’m reflecting on something personal: I never thought I’d make it to this age. But I did. And I’m still here. Creating. Grateful. Alive 💖

When loneliness consumes us we lose sight of the beauty around us and how we are connected to all. Shift your perspective, pause and see what’s in front of you. Soothe the sorrow within by connecting to that surrounding you #loneliness #connect #peace #joy #nature #meditation #selflove #community

Happy Easter! #easter #bepresent #mindfulness #meditation #forgiveness

If you wish to be loved, then love. When you give love, you experience loving and are open to receive love. Be loving. #love #selflove #peace #oneness #lovingkindness

You are worthy as you are not based on what you do or how others judge you. Know your worth and know your value is inherent. Love yourself as you are, as you unfold into your becoming. #selflove #selfworth #meditation #mindfulness #connected #innerpeace #breathe

Enjoy each moment, savor each breath, and live life to its fullest. #mindfulness #breathe #meditation #lovelife #beherenow #bepresent

Thank you. 🙏🏻

I would be honored to be added as well. 🕊️🙏🏻🧘‍♀️

In order to reflect the beauty in the world one must take the time to see it. #bepresent #beherenow #mindfulness #meditation #peace #lovingkindess #connect #breathe

When we give selflessly we bypass our ego and create a direct line to esteem. We connect with ourself and ultimately a higher self. 🕊️#meditation #seva #grace #mindfulness #selflove #interconnectedness
