Live A Sacred Life - Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo

Buddhism for Beginners

The ideas of competition and materialism are taught to us as virtues during our childhood. Collecting things and going somewhere are pivotal ways of viewing our life’s progress.  Jetsunma steers us away from these misconceptions: "Every moment is something that you have a sacred relationship with, because you move into the awareness that there is nothing that you can do that is separate from your own nature."  We must realize that we are not doing anything or anybody a favor by living a spiritual life.  We are simply expressing that which is true.
