Flower of the Day: 07/23/14
"The
deepest reason for our being here on this planet is to awaken love.
This is what moves us in this world, what makes us get up in the
morning, and keeps us alive. Some people are aware of this, and they
experience the joy of being alive. If you are not aware of this, you
feel anxious because you are unable to find any meaning in life. You
have no reason to get up in the morning. This generates depression and
the feeling that you don’t belong. Giving meaning to life is a choice:
we choose what to do with our time. But we can only make this choice
once we are mature enough to hear our heart's calling, which is always
exclaiming, ‘Awaken love! Awaken in everyone and everywhere!’ "

Non-Lying | July 23, 2014
Fully facing, getting to know, and
actually welcoming the various kinds of liar that I am gives me a taste
of not excluding anything; a taste of no inside, no outside. The more I
can do this with no outcome or gaining idea in mind, the more
truth-speaking and selflessness can naturally arise.
—Roshi Nancy Mujo Baker, "Non-Lying"
