“O maior milagre que pode ocorrer neste mundo é o perdão; é abrir o coração e amar de forma desinteressada. Isso é milagre.”
“The greatest miracle that can happen in this world is forgiveness. It opens up your heart and allows you to love selflessly. This is a miracle.”

Enlightenment
Ten years ago I couldn't stop thinking, feeling,
Just anger, just rage, until this moment.
A crow laughs, the dust clears, I hold the arhat's fruit. |

JMG HomoQuotable - Andrew Sullivan
"I never believed this would happen in my lifetime when I wrote my first several TNR essays and then my book, Virtually Normal, and then the anthology and the hundreds and hundreds of talks and lectures and talk-shows and call-ins and blog-posts and articles in the 1990s and 2000s. I thought the book, at least, would be something I would have to leave behind me – secure in the knowledge that its arguments were, in fact, logically irrefutable, and would endure past my own death, at least somewhere. I never for a millisecond thought I would live to be married myself. Or that it would be possible for everyone, everyone in America. But it has come to pass. All of it. In one fell, final swoop. Know hope." - Andrew Sullivan, returning to his blog to spike the ball.

Today's Daily Dharma: Skillful Speech
Skillful Speech
Few
things can improve the nature of our relationships as much as the
development of skillful speech. Silence offers us, and those around us,
the spaciousness we need to speak more skillfully. When we speak with
greater skill, our true self?our compassionate, loving self?emerges with
gentle ease.

“Chegou o momento de realizarmos uma revolução na consciência. Isso é
possível através do comprometimento com o silêncio. O silêncio evoca a
consciência, e a consciência evoca a transformação. A prática de um
único minuto em silêncio por dia é capaz de iniciar a maior revolução
que o planeta já viu.”
“The time has come to revolutionize our awareness. This is possible through our commitment to cultivating silence. Silence brings awareness, and awareness evokes transformation. The practice of being in silence for just one minute a day could spark the greatest revolution the planet has ever seen.”

Making Wisdom Possible
As
the reordering of our life, brought about by moral training, creates
the environment for meditation, the stillness of mind created by
meditation will make possible the examination of reality that is the
hallmark of wisdom.
