Via Daily Dharma / October 24, 2016: Wise Eyes
When
we turn diligence into an intellectual process, we end up feeling
exhausted by the intensity of the obligation. But if we just respond the
way the eyelid responds to a dry eye, then the work of peace naturally
arises out of our innate wisdom and compassion.

Via Daily Dharma / October 23, 2016: Zen Janitor
Zen
plays the role of janitor in my religious life, and if my understanding
of Zen (pardon the expression) is right, that is a compliment. The Zen I
know pulls the rug out from anything I land on as the truth and
blissfully blows away dangerous moments of intelligence and
understanding.

Via Daily Dharma / October 22, 2016: What’s Going Right
I have noticed that people are dealing too much with the negative, with what is wrong. They do not touch enough on what is not
wrong. . . . Why not try the other way, to look into the patient and to
see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?

Via Daily Dharma / October 21, 2016: Meditation in the Moment
By
witnessing how we are, in our body, heart, and mind, we become armed
with the necessary information needed to respond thoughtfully and with
care.

Via Daily Dharma / October 20, 2016: Dharma for Everyone
It
does not matter whether you are a man or woman, young or old, a monk or
a layperson. The treasury of the true dharma eye and subtle mind of
nirvana is anybody, everybody!
