In all my lives may I bear the great responsibility of the Buddhadharma and if I cannot shoulder this responsibility may I at least be concerned about it. - The Omniscient Buddha from Dolpo (Sherab Gyaltsen)

The Light That Is Always Here

Nichiren Buddhist teacher Mark Herrick draws on the Lotus Sutra to explore how practice can clear the mental “soot” that keeps us from recognizing our innate buddhahood.

"Happily we bask in this warm September sun, which illuminates all creatures." Henry David Thoreau Good morning and great Saturday! #dailyflowers #flowerreport #bloomscrolling #gardening #nature #autumn #ColorADay

Close-up, top-down shot of a vibrant purple aster flower in full bloom. The flower features numerous slender, ray-like purple petals radiating outwards from a contrasting bright yellow and green central disc. Soft sunlight highlights the delicate texture of the petals, and a lush green foliage background is softly blurred.

When the low sun transforms nature into pure gold. ✨ These little 'helicopter' seeds look absolutely magical in the backlight. #BlueSkyArtShow #golden #Stunday #MacroMonday #thelittlethings #photography #nature #ECK

A close-up of dried, light-brown maple seeds hanging from thin twigs. The photograph was taken against strong backlight, causing the seeds’ delicate, wing-like structures to glow golden and appear almost transparent. In the background, the surface of a river reflects the sunlight, creating a heavily blurred, sparkling bokeh of bright circles of light.
