Finding Freedom in Limitlessness: The Buddhist Parable of Fudo

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!


A Buddhist parable tells the story of Fudo, a young falcon who
learns that true freedom comes from understanding that the sky
isn't a boundary to overcome but a reflection of his own
limitless nature. This ancient wisdom teaches us that our
perception of limitations often creates the very constraints we
struggle against.

• Fudo, a talented young falcon, feels restless when flying and
wonders what lies beyond the sky's apparent boundaries
• He seeks wisdom from Shouhai, an ancient turtle known for his
patience and deep insights
• Shouhai explains that the sky has no limits—it's Fudo's
conception of it as something to conquer that creates his
feelings of limitation
• The turtle teaches that the sky simply "leaves room" and
mirrors Fudo's own unlimited nature
• When Fudo shifts his perspective, he experiences the sky
differently and finds the freedom and contentment he sought
• The parable illustrates how our perceptions shape our reality
and how letting go of the need to conquer can lead to true
freedom

Stay safe and healthy, everyone, and remember to live in the
moment.
