Piyavadana

“The Buddha does not wash away negativities with water,

Nor does he clear away suffering with his hands,

Nor can he transfer his own qualities to us,

He shows the true path, by that alone are beings liberated.’’

Buddha has shown us that the middle path is the only way to survive from Samsara. The middle path is avoiding two extremes of joy and sadness. It is similar to the strings of a Violin. If you play it too hard, strings will break and harm your hand. If you play it too loose, it won’t give any good sound. You should never be extreme in anything. The middle path opens your eyes and bestows understanding, which leads to Peace of mind, higher wisdom, full enlightenment and Nirvana.

May every heart be filled with joy, compassion, love and happiness!

May the path to Nirvana be directed!
