Thinking
Potential Buddha is all about awareness. We like to take things further, so this community is for people who are making awareness fashionable. The word Buddha means awake. In Buddhist traditions, the potential to be awake, to live our lives fully, is frequently referred to as 'Buddha potential'. This Buddha potential is often represented as a lotus flower, a central symbol in these traditions. Most lotuses grow under the water surface, and only a few reach above it. But they all share the same potential to grow and blossom. People who are awake, like these blossoming lotuses, grow strong in muddy waters of confusion. Because we believe that we are all Potential Buddhas, we choose the lotus as our logo.
Acting
Potential Buddha doesn’t stop with thinking. We are all about being whatever we want to be, constantly changing and combining lifestyles. Let’s be organic without panic, and fashionable without being trashable. We can have fun, be awake, be environmentally conscious and still look good! So get involved! Let’s celebrate!
Making the mind shift to be fully awake is the goal of this community. You’ll find lots of tools here to keep you inspired. Our team of bloggers is sharing visions on health, yoga, personal development and lifestyle. You can learn about dharma, or Buddhist inspired thought -- a powerful practice for being awake. The Dharma Corner offers free, downloadable meditation courses by Dana Marshall. All through the Potential Buddha community, you can keep in touch with your potential, and take a fresh view of life, every day. Here’s to awareness!
Sharing
In addition to this blogosphere, Potential Buddha organizes Awareness Events. These events represent our community, with high quality yoga- and meditation master classes from international acknowledged teachers, inspirational activities such as Ayurvedic cooking and Yoga Trance Dance. Potential Buddha’s Awareness Events combine the eco and the fabulous, consciousness and fun like no other. We hope to meet you one day at one of our events! Join our community or sign up on our newsletter to stay informed on upcoming events near you.
