The weeping Buddha, as seen in the picture, represents the power and strength of compassion, of connecting deeply to our own sorrows and the sorrows of the world. At times this burden is just too much and all of us , including the Buddha , and we can be brought to tears.
“If you are ready to put your soul in charge of your life instead of your ego, you are ready for your own rebellion. The first stage of awakening is to overthrow the harmful and false beliefs we hold about ourselves—that we are small, unworthy, and isolated from the divine. Once you have grasped that revolutionary idea, you can begin to usurp the dominion of the ego and overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of your true purpose.
Every one of us will hear the call in our lives—a drive to act that starts with the soul and expresses itself as a radical transformation in the way we live. The lesson of the divine rebel is that when we offer ourselves wholly to do what the divine asks of us, the power of grace will come flooding into our lives” ~ Caroline Myss
