In the inter-tidal zone, a celebration of life occurs.
His Holiness The Fourteenth Dalai Lama
“At the heart of the Buddha’s teachings lie the four seals, or axioms, of Buddhism, and when we summarize the essence of everything the Buddha taught, we find that the basic framework is presented in the context of these four:
- All composite phenomena are impermanent.
- All contaminated phenomena are unsatisfactory, or in the nature of suffering.
- All things and events are empty, or devoid of self-existence.
- Nirvana is true peace.”
