The Heart of Enlightenment

The Lotus Sutra as the Physician’s Cure can bring us back from spiritual death by revealing the heart of what enlightenment is and what our relationship with the infinite past and infinite future means. This life, this lived experience, is not just this moment, or just a collection of previous moments or just the unfolding of future moments. This life is all of those and our connection with all life in the universe. Intellectually this has no energy; on the spiritual level of the heart it has unlimited energy. This I know; this I have felt. My experiences, though, are beyond the realm of theoretical understanding or sharing. I do this writing and tell these stories in the hope of in some small way sharing my experience.
