My Awakening Revisited

As I mourned the death of my wife on the anniversary of her passing and as I stood at the place of those life-changing events my deep sadness was overcome by an amazing sense of peacefulness.  I had the feeling that I had been touched.  Reflecting upon the depth and intensity of that moment and the feelings it introduced, I have come to the following conclusions:

I believe in an ecumenical God/Supreme Being.

I believe in Heaven/an Afterlife.

I believe that practicing the teachings of the Buddha will yield a happier, more fulfilling life that does more to better the condition of all living things.

I believe that I understand the feeling the Buddha had when he became awakened.
