Pause Your Mind

Sacredness is not strictly the property of religion, it is a universal phenomenon. It is something to be revered, loved, respected, and embraced. It can be personal and subjective. Inner peace, quietude, compassion, and notions of absolute truth such as the great emptiness or the Buddha within are all sacred. One of the most powerful and yet utterly accessible gateways to the sacred is silence.

Let's take a few moments to remember to pause in silence throughout the day and turn our attention toward sacredness. The highest sacredness lies within each of us, beyond the realm of concepts, logic, or ideas. When we drop into silence, we are able to experience the sacredness within, which is our true nature, the unborn Buddha within. We feel that we are no longer bound by our habits, and we begin experiencing the dimension of our being that lies outside ego identities. When we are in that state, we may feel we are in touch with the true nature of who we are, already complete and perfect. Nothing needs to be added or subtracted from it.

"When we let go of everything we see that the space we wanted to create is already there. In the same way, inner contentment is already there and that is true happiness. There is no enlightenment other than that."
