Why there is so much violence and suffering in the world? This question burns in the hearts of all kind and peace loving people. But most people satisfy themselves with the readymade answers given by opinion makers, social activists, Karma theorists and so on. Prince Siddhartha Gautama went deeper to find answers and found the absolute truth.

Quote
There is a yearning that is as spiritual as it is sensual. Even when it degenerates into addiction, there is something salvageable from the original impulse that can only be described as sacred. Something in the person (dare we call it a soul?) wants to be free, and it seeks its freedom any way it can. ... There is a drive for transcendence that is implicit in even the most sensual of desires.

When you see something, your mind rushes to put labels on it: table, chair, good, bad etc. Sacred space is a space where your mind doesn't feel need to label anything. It relaxes, allowing you to go inward. That space can be sea shore, forest, mountain, beloved's arms or a temple. For awakened ones, every inch is sacred.
