The Buddha in You

<p>Buddhism has become more visible in society whether a statue in a garden, an image on a t-shirt, jewelry, a coffee mug, weaving its way into pop culture. People associate the image of the Buddha with peace and tranquility however, the assumption is that the Buddha was only one person. So what is or who is a Buddha? The answer is......YOU! Every living being possesses the potential to become enlightened by revealing the innate Buddha nature that lies in every living being. Buddhahood is not a final, static destination reached and you magically become an enlightened Buddha. It simply means to tirelessly continue to strive along the path of absolute happiness for oneself and others.&nbsp;</p> <p>In past episodes we have briefly mentioned that we both practice Buddhism.
