“Be a lamp unto yourself, be a refuge to yourself. Take yourself to no external refuge.” In this message, we embrace the timeless wisdom of the Buddha's final teaching on the night he died as the beacon for our spiritual journey. Spoken thousands of years ago, these words from the Buddha are more fitting than ever in today’s modern world. We'll delve into this profound teaching to realize that true liberation doesn't stem from external sources like mentors, gurus, or books of wisdom, but from our direct inner experiences and journey of self-discovery. In a digital world that is always telling us to look for answers outside ourselves, this teaching is a reminder that we have everything we need right now to be happy, whole, and free — and that the wisdom we seek is already within us.
