Opportunities to Grow

Unfortunately in Buddhism there is no supper convenient app for enlightenment. It isn’t as easy as pulling out your smart phone or electronic device and becoming enlightened. There will be times of great struggle, and there will be times of ease, but everything that occurs in our lives is an opportunity to further develop our inner Buddha potential. When we can face our obstacles with the inner joy of being given an opportunity to grow, we can transform that moment into a moment of enlightenment.
