Jogye Order Supreme Patriarch's Buddha's Birthday Dharma Message: "Realize through Self-Reflection to Attain Liberation and Peace"
"Those who realize the nature of the inanimate through self-nature will attain liberation and bliss, escaping from suffering."
Ahead of Buddha's Birthday (May 27), Seongpa Daejongsa, the Supreme Patriarch of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, announced a congratulatory Dharma message containing the above content. He also said, "Those who realize the altruistic virtue residing within greed will gain the great patience and endurance of a Bodhisattva who suffers and heals together."

A single thought of great compassion in our hearts changes the world and transforms life."
