PEACEFUL MIND
BLOOMING
BUDDHA
Compassion helps us enjoy better mental and physical health. As your inner being changes, your whole outer life will evolve, as well. It will have a different fragrance, a different beauty, a different grace. A budding desire to treat your body with reverence and compassion will burgeon forth. As Osho explains, "unless you love the body, you cannot grow spiritually. The body is the temple of the soul." An easeful transition into the vegan lifestyle both cares for the body and preserves and expands the compassion for animals in our hearts. We choose what seeds to plant in our souls each time we choose how to nourish our bodies with the foods we consume. Are you ready to nourish peace on your plate?
EASEFUL BODY
BUDDING
VEGAN
Compassion is good for our health and good for the world. It blossoms in the garden of our lives most fully when first sprouted in our own hearts and minds. As Jack Kornfield explains, "if your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete." Tending to the mind is effectively preparing the soil for peace to flourish. Upon going inwards and pulling out weeds, thousands of roses will have space to germinate within you; allowing your soul to blossom fully and compassion for self and others to thrive. Are you ready to do the work?
BLOSSOMING
SOUL
Compassion broadens our perspective beyond ourselves; increasing our sense of connection to others. In cultivating a useful life, Albert Einstein suggests that "our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and the whole of nature and its beauty." Buddhas are fully bloomed human flowers, leading meaningful and purposeful lives richly fragranced by happiness, compassion, equanimity and altruism. The scent of a flower spreads only in the direction of the wind , but the goodness of a person spreads in all directions. Are you ready to pollinate the world with compassion?
