Universe in Motion, Nature Flourish…

And then we have the problems we have today.

Do you know how precious it is to receive this Grace?

You are on the path and have a chance to restore yourself, your divine consciousness, your Buddha nature.

And to break the Cycle of Reincarnation.

To realize that there is a spiritual self (divine consciousness) and not the self you think you are (Ego).

That is the true liberation from all the pain and suffering you will otherwise immures your life in.

That this life, compare to all your previous lives, are the one to be awaken and take on the spiritual growth and accumulate good

Karma and Virtues.

From this point on, you are not unconscious.

You Are Awaken!

And that this life is the one that makes the spiritual difference!

To truly be grateful, we have to look into our lineage and see who

and what they did to make it possible.
