The image above reminds me of The Story of the Golden Buddha
The brief idea is that a golden Buddha was covered up with clay one day when an army was coming to invade. It worked, as the army didn’t steal or destroy it. However, everyone forgot it was golden underneath until a long time later when a young boy accidentally bumped some clay off. He saw the gold beneath. He called everyone else and they picked off the clay to reveal the glorious, golden Buddha. There is a parallel for us in this story. Here’s my take on it, as it stands right now. We’re all “golden” at our cores. Our spirits are “gold” (and we all have the same gold!!) and then we’re born with a physical body and mind. This is the beginnings of the clay. During our lives we add more and more clay. We get to like the clay. We think our clay is better than other people’s clay. We forget that we are gold underneath. Hopefully, at some point in our lives, a bit of our clay breaks off and we see some gold. Once that happens, we’ll probably spend the rest of our lives trying to get the clay off and rejoicing in the gold we can see beneath. The important point for me is that we ALL have the same gold beneath all sorts of various clays that we’ve constructed over the years. At the level of the gold, nobody is better or worse than anybody else. I find this thought inspiring. Connecting with others: 1) Creates a psychological space and a sense of safety for us to learn and explore 2) Gives us a sense of identity 3) Helps us to understand ourselves and feel apart of something larger than ourselves. In this 7 minute video, Sean Stephenson (best-selling author and motivational speaker) shares the 3 precious insights about connection he learned from the Dalai Lama when they shared the stage. Kayla Montgomery is one of the country's best long distance runners. However, her battle with multiple sclerosis (MS) doesn't make racing easy. Watch her remarkable display of perseverance as she fights on the track to come out on top, even if it means collapsing into her coach's arms at the finish line. Kayla's determination is nothing short of astonishing. And having a good coach, who is there to catch you when you are at your limit, can make all the difference when reaching for your true potential in life. I just had a recent bicycling accident (hit a pothole and broke 8 ribs), so I am having some time to work from home, visit the hospital and other doctors, and slow down a little. (Yes it's very hard to slow down, but i'm reminding myself it's good for me).
