 Let the flower of compassion bloom
In the soil of kindness.
Tend it with the pure water of equanimity
In the cool shade of joy.

~ Longchenpa, Kindly Bent to Ease Us

  

everything is like

a dream

an illusion

an hallucination

a mirage

a reflection in a mirror

an echo

a fairy city

a projection

a water bubble

lightning

a rainbow

 

 

 

 

Kindness is in our power,
even when fondness is not.
~ Samuel Johnson

 

You're never too poor
to pay attention.
~ Jim Dodge

 

Where there is fixation
there is error.
~ Jamgon Kongtrul

 

Cast away decisively
Let go with ease
Dismantle thoroughly
Gently let be
~ Serlingpa

 

memento mori, memento vivere

 

Let go of the past.
Let go of the future.
Let go of the present.
~ Dhammapada 348

 

Lean over to watch the river
slipping slowly away beneath you
and you will suddenly know
everything there is to be known.
~ Winnie the Pooh
