An written by Jack Kornfield and published at Awaken focuses on the Buddha's teachings, which are also known as the Lion’s Roar. They reflect a half-century teaching to those who would listen and delivering a message of wisdom, compassion, and freedom through focused spiritual practice. Groups who gathered to listen to the Buddha free themselves from illusions of separateness from others and heed the voice within. They learned to unify thoughts and actions in ways that provided freedom from the myriad entanglements present in an ever-changing world.
One of the most profound lessons described in the ancient sutras was provided by the Buddha to a devotee who spent months enraptured, listening to his words reverently. Ultimately, the Buddha informed the monk that he did not really see him because gazing at the Buddha is about seeing the Dharma(divine law). With the Dharma embodying the path to uncover the truth. It is something kept alive by all who sincerely follow a pathway of questing enlightenment through the centuries.
