If you’ve ever visited a Buddhist temple, read about Buddhist chants, or heard monks repeat a prayer-like pattern in hushed tones, you’ve probably come across the words “Buddham Saranam Gacchami.” The term sounds archaic, and it is. However, it is also one of the most profound affirmations in spiritual history. It does not promise heaven, … Read more
Every year, when the full moon of Vaisakha month appears in the sky (April-May), millions of people around the world take a moment to commemorate one man—not a ruler nor a god, but a seeker who dared to question life itself: Gautama Buddha. This day is known as Buddha Purnima (or Vesak in various places), … Read more
Your mind is not a single voice. It is a system. At different times, different aspects of your mind take over, determining how you react, what you fear, what you want, and what you believe is achievable. Most people go their entire lives without realizing which section of their brain is in control at any … Read more
Paul the Apostle never claimed to be a flawless human being. In fact, one of Paul’s most honest qualities was his unreserved admission of internal strife.
