Sedona, AZ
Aside from a tourist bus driving us here on a cold windy day in AZ, Peace Park brought a change of perspective into my heart. The Buddhist site honors prayer and meditation, directed toward the welcoming of all religions. Specifically, honor is displayed to Amitabha Buddha for infinite light. This site was truly a representation of how still and faithful a soul can be, through religion and belief systems. As a Christian, we are developed to believe that Jesus and the way we see Him, is the one true king. When surrounded by practices of meditation, the releasing of energy, and the understanding of karma, the Buddhist faith is, nontheless, intriguing. No one is to say which religion ranks over another, as they all bring new ideas and traditions to guide a spiritual and personal awakening. As I have come to broaden my experiences through different cultures, communities, and belief systems, I have found that every religion leaves a part of your soul more accepting and connected to a larger world. With little knowledge about the Buddhist traditions, Peace Park brought tranquility unlike any I’ve ever encountered. When someone comes to learn in places like these, each will come face to face with serenity and what energy means to a person, on a larger scale. This seemingly small site brought an interest in learning more, something I had to search for in my own self, through new experiences. I have been bored for many years. Turns out, all I had to do was try new things. I would love to meet and learn more about Buddhist culture, and that is a promise to my future self.
To many more new experiences coming soon.
