Many people enjoy gardening for its beauty and the satisfaction of growing your own food. There is so much more to gardening. Spiritual seekers, we all long for the connection with the true self and the creator. The sense of “I” (the ego) is a key barrier for us to attain a peaceful mind and to achieve enlightenment. The garden is a sacred place for us to diminish the sense of self.

Sometimes the physical body feels like a barrier to happiness and spiritual growth. For some people, the physical body is the main source of suffering due to disability, illness, etc. What is the purpose of having a physical body and what role does it play in the passage of spiritual growth?

The garden is a place where we can learn about the way of life if we pay attention. It teaches us how to be patient, be humble and be grateful for all the things we take for granted in our life.
