Via Daily Dharma: Find Your Buddhanature Every Day
We
are indeed connected to all things, but we should feel free to move
about, free to join others, free to examine preconceptions and
misinterpretations, and free to find our buddhanature as we engage in
the day’s most common actions and events.

When you can learn to accept love, you can give love. You can give love
to all you perceive, all the time. I am loving awareness. You can be
aware of your eyes seeing, your ears hearing, your skin feeling, and
your mind producing thoughts, thought after thought after thought.
Thoughts are seductive, but you don’t have to identify with them. You
identify not with the thoughts, but with the awareness of the thoughts.
To bring loving awareness to everything you turn your awareness to is to
be love.
This moment is love.
