Enlightenment is Always There
“In the Night” | Anthony Satori
“Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive — that you can touch the miracle of being alive — then that is a kind of enlightenment.”

Embrace life with enthusiasm, spread light and compassion wherever you are, and live each day in a state of gratitude and grace.

Laughing Buddha
Laughing Buddha | Anthony Satori
The Laughing Buddha. What a wonderful symbol. Arising out of 8th Century China, Budai is the very image of contentment. He carries his material possessions in a simple cloth sack, and he is always depicted smiling or laughing. He is a jovial, yet profound reminder that spirituality is not meant to be a dour, somber affair. Quite to the contrary, any genuine exploration into our spiritual nature — and thereby into the nature of the universal Creative Spirit — will be a journey toward increased compassion, peace, vitality and happiness in our lives.
