today is #Vesak, a day when Buddhists commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and death of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha.

here’s the thing – the seed of enlightenment, the open heart and steady mind of enlightenment is available to us all.

may this day and all days be fertile ground for growing open hearts and calm, steady minds. may this precious life be cherished and lived in a way that brings healing and an end to suffering.
