A personal blog by a graying (mostly Anglo with light African-American roots) gay left leaning liberal progressive married college-educated Buddhist Baha'i BBC/NPR-listening Professor Emeritus now following the Dharma in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
Today’s contemplation is to recognize how much is unknown. As you encounter people and ideas, notice the subtle pull to appear as “the expert,” even when it comes to Buddhism. Can you soften the need to know and let life stay open and limitless?
Wisdom is easier to access when the mind is humble. Rest in the understanding that reality is far bigger than any viewpoint. Humility is not a lack of knowledge but a willingness to meet what is, freshly.
