St. Luke the Righteous's Buddha Nature

Tomorrow commemorates the feast day of St. Luke the Righteous of Greece, a dreamer, a giver, and a vegan mystic who tried desperately to live out his life in pure ascetic solitude but kept failing at it. People loved him too much to let him alone. After trying for years to flee into seclusion, he finally opened a hermitage in the village of Steiri at the foot of Mt. Helicon and lived out his days healing people. Like the Buddha, he found a true path.
