"There is nothing more important than love in both the Dharma and the world. Love is happiness and the cause of happiness in this and all future lives. In the holy Dharma it is called bodhicitta. Humans on a worldly level call it love."

H.E. Garchen Rinpoche

Practice is to tend the mind like a garden.

What happens in mind today is the flower of a seed previously planted.

What happens in mind tomorrow depends on seeds planted today.

Hundreds of yellow flowers grow in a long bush. The shot is somewhat artistic in that the flowers up front are sharp and in focus while the others trail off into a blur.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening: but none will go without food.

The Flow (2)

Being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (who studied Indic thought extensively)

The nature of multiplicity is nondual
and things in themselves are pure and simple;
being here and now is construct-free
and it shine out in all forms, always all good;
it is already perfect, so exertion is redundant
and spontaneity is ever-immanent.

Monarchs resting 🦋🌿 apparently they chill for the night around the persimmon trees.

A monarch butterfly is on a tree branch. Its wings are up. The last background is blurry to emphasize the foreground.

I'm playing with the earnestness threshold for my posts. Forgive us while we gather telemetry.

"The everyday practice is simply to develop a complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions, and to all people, experiencing everything totally without mental reservations and blockages, so that one never withdraws or centralizes into oneself." 💜

In Mahayana and tantric teachings, the Buddha also refers to the Dharmakaya Buddha, or formless Buddha, which is not a person or supernatural being but rather the unconditioned true nature of each of us that is already perfect.

An empty cup can be filled with whatever is desired.

A filled cup is useless, it can only give you what is in it unless it is emptied.
