practice true wisdom

The wisdom, the authentic, is the result of constant practice and devotional. Reach it with this meditation on padma mudra, whose objective is to remember the innate connection of all existence.

According to Buddhism, the most ignorant thing is to think that we are independent, self-sufficient and separate islands. Wisdom lies in recognizing the threads that connect us.

All of existence is connected like a great ocean and expresses itself through numerous waves. The lotus is born and grows in the depth of the mud, from darkness light is born; nothing is wasted or lost, everything is part of the cycle of life and helps to express its strength in infinite ways.

Wisdom lies in recognizing the threads that connect us

The recognition of the life force, its chains, how sacred it is, naturally leads to wisdom.

Wisdom could be attributed, in part, to a gift or blessing of grace, but mostly it is fruit of constant practice and devotional. In its essence it reminds us that when pain of any kind occurs or we cause pain to other beings, we are feeding the mud and, therefore, the lotus; because there is only one body. Nothing else.

meditation on padma mudra

1. How to get high

Sit comfortably on the floor in the lotus position, or on a chair, with your spine upright. Close your eyes.

2. Mudra with hands

Bring the palms of the hands together, at the level of the heart, and join the thumbs and little fingers, while opening the other fingers as if revealing them to the sun.

3. Blooming

Inhale bringing the intention to the heart and exhale from the belly. Notice how the energy within you expands and allows wisdom to flourish, how there is a vital interconnection between the mud and the lotus growth, the supreme beauty.
