Spiritual Newsletter

Welcome back to the Buddha Land Spiritual Guidance Weekly Newsletter! This week, we will share with you a variety of exciting retreats, guided meditations, and other spiritual offerings to help you deepen your practice and connect with your inner self.

Meditation is one of the rare occasions when we're doing nothing. Otherwise, we're always doing something, we're always thinking something, we're always occupied. We get lost in millions of obsessions and fixations. But by meditating - by not doing anything - all these fixations are revealed and our obsessions will naturally undo themselves like a snake uncoiling itself.
