Look!

This is your world!

You can't not look.

There is no other world.

This is your world; it is your feast.

You inherited this; you inherited these eyeballs; you inherited this world of color.

Look at the greatness of the whole thing. Look!

Don't hesitate - look!

Open your eyes.

Don't blink,

and look, look - look further.

~ Chögyam Trungpa

"Having assimilated the teaching in the stream of my consciousness, I forgot to engage in doctrinal polemics."

~ Milarepa, quoted by Karma Tutob Gyatso

From Hafiz: a woman asked Hafiz, “What is the sign of someone knowing God?” He replied, “Dear, they have dropped the knife. They have dropped the cruel knife most so often use upon their tender self and others.”

White Tara, the female Buddha of longevity.

Tara is a completely enlightened buddha and as a young bodhisattva she promised always to appear in the form of a female bodhisattva and goddess for the benefit of all beings and especially to protect from the eight fears. In this white form she appears specifically for the purpose of bestowing longevity.

Rest in a natural way like a small child.

Rest like an ocean without waves.

Rest within clarity like a candle flame.

Rest without self-concerns like a human corpse.

Rest unmoving like a mountain.

~ The Mahasiddha Milarepa

One day, a young student approached the Buddha and asked him to teach him about the nature of reality.

The Buddha led the student to a nearby river and pointed to the water rushing by.

"Do you see that water?" he asked.

"It's constantly moving, always changing. It flows downstream, never staying in one place for long. This is the nature of reality - it's constantly changing, always in motion."

The student nodded, understanding what the Buddha was trying to teach him.

Buddha continued, "Just like the water flows downstream, so too do our thoughts and emotions. They come and go, never staying in one place for long. But if we learn to let them flow, if we learn to let go of our attachments and desires, we can find peace and freedom within."

The student took the Buddha's words to heart, and he made a commitment to practice mindfulness and non-attachment in his daily life. And as he practiced, he began to experience a sense of peace and freedom that he had never known before.

When we get control of our days and nights through self-awareness, we create the world we want. Everyday we make choices that will impact the future. Never let the distracted thoughts suck you into the past and steal you of the present.

"There is nothing good or bad that is not connected with experience. We should not be distracted by these experiences. If we are practicioners we see that good or bad doesn't matter, it's all experience. We work with and use experience, and try to be in the state of knowledge or understanding. Then everything becomes positive for our practice. In Dzogchen we say that visions are the ornaments of the primordial state. We can have good and bad visions, and also good and bad sensations; but as practitioners we don't need to see in that way, and through using our experience all becomes the same taste.

In that way we overcome our tensions and problems."

Prayer For Forgiveness

If I have harmed anyone in anyway either knowingly or unknowingly through my own confusion, l ask you for forgiveness.

For anyone and everyone who has ever harmed me in anyway through their own confusion, I forgive you.

If there is any situation that I am still not ready to forgive, I forgive myself for that.

For all the ways in which I have harmed myself - negated, doubted, judged, belittled or have been unkind to myself through my own confusion, I forgive myself for that.

May I be happy, may I be well, safe, peaceful and at ease.

May you be happy, may you be well, safe, peaceful and at ease.

May we be happy, may we be well, safe, peaceful and at ease.

"Birds of a feather flock together. No matter what kind of friend you make, no matter how you associate with that person, you will eventually become like that person. That is what bonding is all about."

- Buddha (Udanavarga 25°I)

Never underestimate the miracle of kindness. In whatever way you can, use your time and energy to make the world a safer, brighter, more comforting place to be. And always remember that anything that needs to be done can be done with kindness.
