Be still
"Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46) "Be still" means to become peaceful and concentrated. The Buddhist term is samatha (stopping, calming). "Know" means to acquire wisdom or understanding. The Buddhist term is vipassana (insight or looking deeply). When we are still, looking deeply, and touching the source of our true wisdom, we touch the living Buddha and the living Christ in ourselves and each person we meet.
