Be Buddha: A Mindful Path To Living With Peace, Purpose & Love

The Buddha Mind

Having lived a life of luxury secluded from the pains of poverty and disease, In 500 BCE, a young prince came to grips with the harsh reality. It changed his perception of the world, and he spent the rest of his life finding answers to the truth of life and teaching that to his disciples. His name was Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha or the enlightened one.

Often I have pondered these questions:

• What did The Buddha learn during his struggles?
• Can we learn to find The Buddha in our lives?
• What is the state of The Buddha's mind at enlightenment?

In this book, I share a collection of poems that delves deep into understanding the mindset that can help us achieve a better state of being. The poems in this collection touch upon several topics from spirituality, identification of one's purpose, finding happiness, and his reflections on love and suffering. I believe that we can all achieve a state of equanimity and learn to deal with the existential angst in our lives.

I call this state of mind "The Buddha Mind."

This work explores the mind — a deep dive into the nature of existence and our purpose on this planet in the universe. It will encourage you to ponder upon the questions such as "who are we," "why do we have this life," and "how can we make the most of this existence." Read this collection to find your Buddha within.
