Yoga Insight: Experiencing by Mary

Last night my husband queried how come I did not write any Yoga insights recently on my blog.

Well.......

In this morning Gentle Hatha class, Mary, our yoga instructor, asked the following question:
"Why are we here?" She means why we are all here in this world, what is the propose of our existence.

Her answer is: "To experience." "To find out what it is like to feel, to sense and to experience everything. With the insights we gain from our experience, then we will be able to make a wise choice for our actions. She reminds us not to get caught by thinking too much about the past or into the future. Stay in the moment and experience the wonders of the "Whole", or in the Buddhist term, "be one with all".

That is not something easy to do, yoga helps us to get there...

And Bodhisattva Samantabhadra represents the virtue of great vows/actions through the means of experiencing....
