Amazing rendering of the Bodhi tree! Physically the Buddha may have been sitting under the tree, but his true enlightenment took place in his mind.

Here is another wonderful version of the Metta Sutta, this time chanted in English. Have a blessed day!

Here is a gorgeous version of the Metta Sutta sung in Pali. May it be a blessing to all who hear it on this Uposatha Day!

@chelseajstmu That is interesting! It’s the classic rendering of the Wheel of Dharma. Like a cross for Christians might look like the mast on a sailboat. Thanks for the feedback!

Another option for our new organization’s logo! Thoughts?
