We are awakened (enlightened) women and men if. . .
-We are less preoccupied with ourselves and more concerned about helping others;
-We naturally, spontaneously express kindness, compassion, acceptance, love;
-We are patient with others and with ourselves;
-We are generally peaceful and serene;
-We are generous with our time, talent and material possessions;
-We feel both sadness and compassion for the condition of the world;
-We wish to relieve suffering of other beings;
-We realize that life is precious to all, human and all sentient beings--animals, fish, insects;
-We enjoy nature and being outside--it's not a coincidence the Buddha became enlightened while meditating outside, under a tree.
