Via Daily Dharma: Breaking Free from the Self-Centered Dream
Practice
is not about achieving a realization in our heads. It has to be our
flesh, our bones, our self. Of course, we have to have life-centered
thoughts: how to follow a recipe, how to put on a roof, how to plan our
vacation. But we don’t need the emotionally self-centered activity that
we call thinking.
