Vesak (Birthday of the Buddha)
Buddha taught that everybody—every living being without exception—has the potential to awaken… Buddha for me is that awakened mind itself—that totally open, unbiased, unprejudiced mind and heart. I resonate with that, and I come back again and again to that mind and heart as the motivating factor of my life. I think of that as—if you use the word ‘Christ consciousness’—’Buddha consciousness’ or ‘Buddha-nature.’”
