Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Good friends, what are meditation and wisdom like? They’re like a lamp and its light. When there’s a lamp, there’s light. When there’s no lamp, there’s no light. The lamp is the light’s body, and light is the lamp’s function. They have two names but not two bodies. This teaching concerning meditation and wisdom is also like this. — Master Huineng (638– 713 CE)

Most of us #breathe without even noticing or thinking about it, but with each inhalation and exhalation we have the ability to change the way we think and feel.

Living with a chronic illness that no one can see, yet constantly feeling its presence through the pain in my body, is deeply isolating. Knowing there’s no cure makes it even harder. This weather only adds to the weight of it all, it doesn’t do the struggle justice.
