Excerpt
Is it not a wonderful thing, mysterious and miraculous to the worldling, that a man who commits wrong can become a saint, that he who attains to true enlightenment will find the path of truth and abandon the evil ways of selfishness? The bhikkhu who renounces the transient pleasures of the world for the eternal bliss of holiness, performs the only miracle that can truly be called a miracle. A holy man changes the curses of karma into blessings.

✨ To meditate on today
According to the Gospel of Buddha, the true miracle is not an extraordinary wonder but the transformation of a heart: one who has done wrong can become a saint, and the weight of past deeds (karma) can turn into a blessing. Today, look with hope at a person you judge harshly, or at a part of yourself, believing that change is possible.
