🦁 The Mindful Heart Podcast | Season 6, Episode 12 The Lion’s Roar: Where Courage Meets Compassion ✨ Inspired by the Lotus Sutra and the art of Yu-Hsin Liu劉于新 “Again, they beheld the Buddhas, sacred leaders, majestic as lions… Their voices were pure, their words gentle and soft.” What does it mean to be truly strong? In this episode, we explore the profound wisdom of the Lotus Sutra, where the Buddha is described as a majestic lion whose voice is gentle, pure, and filled with compassion. The Buddha’s lion’s roar is not a roar of anger, but a voice of awakening. It reminds us that true strength does not need to be loud, and that wisdom and gentleness can coexist within the same heart. Through Buddhist philosophy, mindfulness, and artistic expression, we reflect on how to: 🌿 Speak the truth with compassion. 🌿 Face life’s challenges with courage and awareness. 🌿 Discover the strength within gentleness. 🌿 Transform fear and suffering into wisdom. 🎨 A Special Invitation: Held in the Heart In this episode, I also share the inspiration behind my painting The Lion’s Roar and my current solo exhibition, Held in the Heart: From New York to Tokyo, and Back to Taoyuan. From New York’s Times Square to Tokyo’s Roppongi, and now to Taoyuan, Taiwan, this artistic journey explores the beauty of mindfulness, Buddhist wisdom, and the healing power of art. Set within a hospital, where people encounter some of life’s most vulnerable moments, the exhibition offers a quiet space for reflection, comfort, and connection. 📍 Exhibition Venue: Cultural Corridor, Taoyuan Branch of Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan 📅 On view through December 31, 2026 May we all discover the courage of the lion, the gentleness of a flower, and the wisdom to know when to speak, when to listen, and when to simply be still. May your heart be strong enough to face the world, and gentle enough to embrace it. 💜 🎧 Listen to The Mindful Heart Podcast Season 6, Episode 12 — The Lion’s Roar 🌐 https://themindfulheart.org 加入會員: https://mindful.firstory.cc/join Comments留言告訴我你對這一集的想法: https://open.firstory.fm/user/ckqwnj6abmfqu0976slcngntc/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting
