Mini Mindfulness Break for June 03, 2019

Building Faith, Building Commitment

For Buddhism, faith doesn’t mean the blind acceptance of teachings as unquestionable dogmas. Rather, faith suggests a combination of trust in the Buddha as a fully enlightened teacher, confidence in the Buddha and in his guidance, and feelings of devotion and reverence towards the Buddha. This quality of faith is to be strengthened because it’s what builds our own commitment to the entire practice.
