We may never know the impact of our love. We can only respond to the need for love by tossing our care into the canyon of suffering like a pebble, accepting that we’ll never hear it land. 🖊️ Mark Nepo 📕 The Language of the Soul 📷 Maligne Canyon in Jasper National Park, Canada.

This morning marked the forty-ninth day since the death of Windhorse member Dave Collins. According to Buddhist tradition, we've been chanting for him every seven days since his passing and today was the seventh and final service. @bodhidave.bsky.social

Sometimes you finally realise this deeper spirituality of feeling, presence, and feet-on-ground living, and the sound of the birds singing in the distance, and a total surrender to this one precious moment. 🪷📿

Sometimes you don't get to be a Buddha Sometimes your spirituality has to shatter You have to lose your precious 'spiritual awakening' You just have to be a human being, You have no choice but to throw away all your second-hand ideas about the path 🪷📿 🖊️ Jeff Foster 📷 Wat Mahathat

Publishers aren't interested in niche books, they're looking for that audience that buys a book and sits it on a shelf for appearances. Have you read Lila? An Inquiry Into Morals? i just purchased it 📖

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has become the best-selling philosophy book of all time. In December 2019, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History acquired Pirsig's 1966 Honda CB77 Super Hawk on which the 1968 ride with his son Chris was taken.

"The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of the mountain, or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha - which is to demean oneself." 🖊️ Robert M. Pirsig

-excerpt- Names of citizens, workers, mothers and fathers, The bright-eyed daughter, the quick son. Alphabet of names in a green field. Names in the small tracks of birds. Names lifted from a hat Or balanced on the tip of the tongue. Names wheeled into the dim warehouse of memory. ↓
