🙏 Vesak Celebrated at NSW Parliament House 🪷

On 26 May, MBC Committee members were honoured to represent Manjushri Buddhist Centre at the Vesak celebration in NSW Parliament House. It was a special gathering of Parlimentarians, Buddhist leaders, monastics etc, recognising the Buddha’s life and teachings in a spirit of unity and respect.

We thank the Buddhist Connection - Buddhist Council of NSW for coordinating the invitations and helping to ensure that the breadth of the Buddhist community was well represented. May this continued recognition help sow the seeds for greater understanding and harmony in our wider community.

Happy Saga Dawa to all beings. 💖

🩵 His Holiness Gyana Vajra Rinpoche, Lama Choedak, and the ordained Sangha spent some blessed time at Narrawallee beach whilst HH was visiting Manjushri Buddhist Centre Milton . Pointing us back to the teachings “Calming the waves and reclaiming the wind.”
As shared by His Holiness, every action can be a meditation: whether surfing, swimming, driving, eating, or simply sitting or standing. A joyful reminder of presence, connection, and the power and beauty of balance in our daily lives.
🌊🌊🌊 Oceans of Devotion.💙💛💙

🧘‍♀️ Thursday evening Calm Abiding Meditation teachings and the image of “Calming the waves and meeting the stillness of mind” fits meditation beautifully. 🌊
The waves don’t necessarily disappear forever, thoughts, emotions and distractions still arise but the relationship to them changes. You stop being thrown by every ripple.
A Thursday evening rhythm can become powerful in its own right. Returning weekly to the same practice, same time and same intention gradually trains the mind to settle more quickly. What first feels like effort slowly becomes familiarity.

During Saga Dawa Duchen, may every turn of the prayer wheels, every step in circumambulation, and every prayer uplift all beings. Our healthy clapping succulent reaching new heights beside the prayer wheels feels like a beautiful reminder of growth, resilience, and awakening. May all beings likewise reach new heights in wisdom, compassion, and joy. 🙏☸️☸️☸️🌿
