If you wish to know the divine, feel the wind on your face and the warm sun on your hand.

Although widely attributed to the Buddha, this saying reads like a modern, nature-mysticism paraphrase rather than a traceable line from early Buddhist scriptures. Its thrust is experiential: it suggests that “the divine” (or the sacred) is not best approached through abstract speculation or distant authority, but through direct, embodied awareness of ordinary reality—wind, sunlight, touch. In a broadly Buddhist-compatible way, it privileges immediate perception and mindfulness, implying that insight arises from intimate contact with the present moment. As a database entry, it is best treated as an inspirational, Buddha-attributed aphorism of uncertain provenance rather than a canonical quotation.
