“I laugh when I think how I once sought paradise as a realm outside of the world of birth. it is right in the world of birth and death that the miraculous truth is revealed.
but this is not the laughter of someone who suddenly acquires a great fortune; neither is it the laughter of one who has won a great victory. it is rather, the laughter of one who; after having painfully searched for something for a long time, finds it one morning in their coat pocket.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
“This is It
and I am It
and You are It
and so is That
and He is It
and She is It
and It is It
and That is That”

the truth is neither like this nor like that. it is like a dog yearning over a bowl of soup. he can’t leave it, because it is too desirable, and he can’t lick it because it is too hot.
egotist shows you his diary and he says “i’ve learned to be silent” and you say “you’ve learned nothing- you’ve just said something”
today’s mantra is “if you’re reading this it’s for you”

“If only there were evil people out there insidiously committing evil deeds and it was only necessary to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being, and who among us is willing to destroy a piece of their own heart?”
Jack Kornfield
