The Buddha Is You
by Lisa Goddard
This is the first of two talks I offered in our weekly in person group. It is an Introduction to Mindfulness but more from the view of an Introduction to Buddhism through the doorway of the Buddhist myth. If you’ve studied the historical texts, you can watch the growth of what I think of as the Buddhist myth. There are these, amazing myths. And some people say that myths have their own truth. Sometimes myths can be more true than reality because they point to underlying patterns within our own experience. It’s like poetry, we can understand our life through it. So as you hear the myth of the Buddha's life I invite you to listen from the standpoint of your own life. How does his story contain aspects of your own? We are not so different from the historical Buddha.
