Build your temples and chant your sutras. Make your altar pretty and burn your expensive incense. Collect enough Good Boy Points and maybe something good will happen. What a waste.

The emperor had dedicated his life to Buddhism but could not even comprehend the simplest of things. Had he entered samadhi for even a moment, Bodhidharma's words would have struck him like an arrow.

The Heart Sutra says it clearly! Not stained, not pure, neither waxing nor waning. Of course, the sutras won't help you until you burn them.

For something to be holy/sacred, something else has to be profane (or at least neutral). In the face of vast emptiness, what remains sacred? What remains profane? What remains?

I get you!! My grandma died last week so I didn't know how the holidays would feel. But it's weird in that it's not as weird as I'd think.

I yet draw breath so I must be doing pretty good! How're you?
