Grace is not a word or a concept that any religious group owns. True to its generous nature, it is shared among many.
Won Buddhism founder, Sotaesan, describes Grace as the interdependence and interconnectedness of everything. Grace is about showing respect for all and realizing our indebtedness to all. Grace is core to the Christian religion, especially in the New Testament, and is also part of the Muslim belief that Allah is all-merciful and all-compassionate.
Grace holds possibility and gives us hope. Living in Grace requires a connection with all that is — the universe, God, the cosmos, and being open for guidance. Grace cultivates the universal unconditional love that can transform anything.
Receiving Grace comes with responsibility. In her book Defying Gravity, Caroline Myss said: Grace never punishes; it always directs us to awaken. We make choices and choices have consequences."
Gracefully Onwards!
