The dharma is most familiar to us in the words of the sutras. Less explored and of real value are the gestures that characterize the Buddha, as captured in tiny pendants to massive statues hundred of feet high.
Here we can find a world of physical movement and contemplative pause, which embody particular mind states of the buddha, and show us strategies by which to cultivate them.
Michael guided our reflections on these images and gestures this Sunday.
