Finding Your Calling – A Buddhist Monk’s Wisdom

by | May 2016 | Meditation, Personal Growth, Spirituality

A warm welcome

Having just returned from a wonderful stay and energy shifting time with my son and family in New Zealand “life” once again presents itself with new activities to embrace and contribute to.

An Unexpected Encounter

On my plane journey home I found myself sitting (in confined space – as you do in economy!) next to a lovely young Italian monk returning to Italy after spending two years (with only two other monks) in a Buddhist Monastery in Wellington, New Zealand.

We discussed much about the meaning of existence and his observation and practise of the importance of the mind and mindfulness. How the mind is so powerful in how we choose to be and do!

Meditation is the key!

He commented how he spent many years searching (in India and elsewhere) to find his “calling” until he recognised and resonated with Buddhism. He has had many challenges, time of great solitude and difficulties, however he knows it is where he is meant to be and the rewards are in his great service to humanity.

It was such an honour to share time (and space) with him.

Finding Your Unique Purpose

We are all unique and each of us has our own different “calling” each life time.

One of my clients asked what her unique purpose was. The reply from spirit was for her to sing, as this gave joy to many. She was thrilled, as I then discovered she loved to sing and had just resumed singing lessons after many years!!

So what ever you feel is your purpose, embrace it, enjoy it and know you are fulfilling your reason for being.

With much joy,

Merriene
