THE REASON WE ARE HERE

THE REASON WE ARE HERESometimes, in the quiet of the night, we ask ourselves a question. Why are we here? What is the true reason for this breath we take? We search for a noble purpose. We look for a compass to guide us through this life and whatever comes after. So… what do we really live for? At first, the answer seems simple. We live for the beauty that surrounds us. We live for the wildflowers blooming on a green meadow. We live to watch the clouds drifting slowly across an open sky. We live for the afternoon rain that washes the dust from the earth. We are here to witness the river flowing from its quiet source all the way to the open ocean. But there is more. We live for the people around us. We live for the sound of a child’s laughter as they run to school. We live to protect the peaceful sleep of the elderly, who have worked hard all their lives. We live because there is work to be done. Because the world is not yet perfect, but it is becoming kinder through our hands. We are here to add our steps to the path toward peace. To walk toward joy. In the end, we live for a high ideal. To seek Awakening. To find Freedom. Not just for ourselves. But to clear the path for all living beings. We live to learn the kind of love that can turn suffering into light. We live to become a shelter for those who are lost. So today, do not just exist. Choose this beauty as your purpose. Choose this kindness as your path. Let it become the reason you breathe. #Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaOrderMonastery.
