Great quote from "The Dude and the Zen Master" (Jeff Bridges and Bernie Glassman). Jeff Bridges is speaking here about artistic pursuits but the same could very much be said for spiritual practice. #buddhism #dharma #oneness #jeffbridges #zen #namuamidabutsu

We spend so much of our lives only thinking about things from our own limited perspectives. We rarely give thought to the causes and conditions that lead to someone else's perspective. (Quote from The Dude and the Zen Master by Jeff Bridges and Bernie Glassman) #buddhism #oneness #buddha

Haya Akegarasu speaks here about not becoming attached to an outcome we can't control but instead keeping our focus on what would be the best course of action right here and right now. This quote is from "Shout of Buddha" from the essay "One Who Goes Onward" . . . #buddha #buddhism #mindfulness

A lot of people assume that if Buddhism is really "working," suffering should eventually just disappear. But that's not how it goes. Even after decades of practice, the hard things in life keep showing up - what changes is your relationship to them. #buddhism #buddha #dharma #mindfulness

Sometimes people make the mistake of thinking that Buddhism will stop all anger from occurring - but you can't stop anger from occuring. However, you can change your relationship to it when it occurs . . . as Rob Kanyo speaks about here in a recent online Sangha Meeting . . . #buddhism #anger

Sometimes people describe the Buddhist term "non-self" with the analogy of a footprint in the snow. The footprint is essentially empty . . . in other words there is no actual footprint there - just the impression left by the actions of the foot against the snow. . . . #buddhism #buddha #dharma
