In Pali, the language of the Buddhist scriptures, Dhamma means both the teaching of the Buddha and the laws of Nature. And from the beginning, those training in the Dhamma were encouraged to spend significant time in out of doors.
Today too, immersing ourselves in Nature, we encounter vast treasures of teachings and inspiration that regenerate us. Drawing excerpts from talks by Buddhist teachers Mark Coleman and Michele McDonald, as well as lessons learned from her own little monarch butterfly garden, Lorilee shared with us this week ways in which we can open ourselves up to experiencing nature, without and within.
