The Self is not attained
by doing anything, but remaining still and being as we are.
-Ramana Maharshi
Lighthouses don't go
running all over an island looking for boats to save: they
just
stand there, shining.

I think 99 times and find
nothing. I stop thinking, swim in the silence, and the
truth comes to me.
-Albert Einstein
by Kia Pierce to
Facebook
Strenuously
seeking truth
by investigation and concentration,
one will never appreciate
the unthinkable simplicity and bliss
that abide at the core.
To uncover this fertile ground,
cut through the roots of complexity
with the sharp gaze of naked awareness,
remaining entirely at peace,
transparent and content.
You
need not expend great effort
nor store up extensive spirtual power.
Remain in the flow of sheer awareness.
-Tilopa
by Amrita Nadi to Daily Dharma
Listening, non-directed attention, is the natural, the inbuilt
functioning of the brain.

The Truth is the only
thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.
Everything else
will have an agenda. Everything. That is why the Truth is
so powerful. Give up
your agendas and continue to expose yourself, and
harmonization will naturally
occur.

Real fearlessness is the
product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world
tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing
to open up, without
resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to
share your heart with
others.
-Chogyam Trungpa
by Sandra Ma to Facebook
When there is a wound
deep inside a person, he will try to share that with other
people. What else can he do? You just recognize: "Oh, he
needs compassion."
Compassion is the only medicine. Unconditional love is the
only treatment.
-Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar

Your purpose is to be at
peace,
to love all beings, and to know who you are.
This is the purpose of life.
Slowly you will know this and get through.

Ah, not to be
cut off
By Rainer Maria Rilke
(1875 - 1926)
English version by
Stephen Mitchell
Ah, not to be cut off,
not through the slightest partition
shut out from the law of the stars.
The inner -- what is it?
if not the intensified sky,
hurled through with birds and deep
with the winds of homecoming
