If you want to become a Buddha,
you have to be a non-Buddhist.
Not a single Buddha is a Buddhist.

To everyone facing this massive storm of ice and snow, be safe. And all creatures large and small.

❄️ Impermanence. Snow building up again after 3 minutes. Gratitude for having warmth, shelter and food. May all beings who are in the path of this storm be safe, warm and have nourishment. Immeasurable gratitude for all those plowing streets and highways and attending to power lines and stations 🌹🙏💎

I apologize to those who follow me for ocean, climate, and car rants. But I'm also a human who cares about other people, and an American who wants his country to live up to its highest ideals (although I'd settle for it not being an international pariah at the moment).

When we understand the meanings of things
Just as they are,
It is totally clear
That everywhere has been a Buddha Field
From the primordial.

A really important moment to remember that meditation is only preparation for right action, never a replacement for it.

I’m aware my intention with social media has shifted. I appreciate uplifting content, nature, humor, art, personal insights, new perspectives. I hope to add to it. But I’m also grateful for the wonderful people and journalists who keep me informed, educate, offer analysis, world views and news. 🙏🏻

This week has been heavy. Trump, Davos, ICE, the dystopian momentum. But it was Jared Kushner calmly pitching his “New Gaza” real estate that broke my heart. A gut punch. I’m without words. 🙏🏻

Pro Tip. Don’t play a 436 MHz solfeggio frequency on a continuous loop around a Monstera plant. Things get out of hand fast.

Read carefully,
then don’t read;
work hard,
then forget about it;
know your tradition,
then liberate yourself from it;
learn language,
then free yourself from it.

Finally,
know at least
one form of magic.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I want to see Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer in Minneapolis, in puffer jackets and beanies, on the street, side by side with protesters. In fact, every member of Congress should be in Minnesota and in the streets.
