Bob Thurman: Becoming Buddha on the Web

In our hyperlinked world,we can know anything, anytime. And this mass enlightenment

is our first step toward becoming Buddha. When we can know everything, we can see how

everything is interconnected -- and we can begin to feel compassion for every living

being.
 

It has been a long time since I was indulged with simple and clear Buddha lessons. And today, thanks for the TedTalks, once again I am savoring the flavor of Buddha's spiritual lip service. Taking another person's lip, lip by lip for a long period time, Buddha's talks now converges into my heart. Especially what he argues about the meaning of compassion and generosity followed by the fundamental reasoning of our interconnectivity, teases my brain excitingly. I also believe that by understanding the whole picture of cosmic feature, we will be able to reach at the mass awareness - the common misery of human beings. And that comes through not by scientific progress or social congregations but by losing ourselves in deep meditation.
