Via Daily Dharma: Knowing Our Mind

Don’t feel disturbed by the thinking mind. You are not practicing to prevent thinking, but rather to recognize and acknowledge thinking whenever it arises.

—Sayadaw U Tejaniya, “Observing Minds Want to Know”

Via Daily Dharma: Freshness in Every Moment

One of the hardest things to remember about practice is that we’ve truly never experienced this moment before.

—Alex Tzelnic, “How to Resist the Comfort of Repetition”

Via Ram Dass / Words of Wisdom - April 28, 2019 💌

Don’t get caught in righteousness, don’t get caught in helping somebody. It doesn’t mean don’t help them, just don’t get caught in it… If you really want to help somebody, instead of just ripping off the experience of helping them for yourself, give up helping anybody. And then just be with them and see what happens.
