This week’s meditation session is led by Tracy Cochran and the theme is Aspiration.
Maitreya is the buddha of the future, said to be waiting in Tushita Heaven. Once Buddhism is forgotten in the world, he will come down to teach its fundamental laws once again. Maitreya is also a bodhisattva, meaning that he took a vow to save all sentient beings from suffering. Truly a daunting and inspiring aspiration.
