Every sentence ensnares me anew in what I was trying to escape from.

Depends

August 27th, 2010

I am aware that happiness depends on my mental attitude and not on external conditions, and that I can live happily in the present moment simply by remembering that I already have more than enough conditions to be happy.

preceded

August 7th, 2010

Phenomena are
preceded by the heart
ruled by the heart
made of the heart.

If you speak or act with a corrupted heart,
then suffering follows you,
as the wheel of the cart follows
the track of the ox that pulls it.

Phenomena are
preceded by the heart
ruled by the heart
made of the heart.

If you speak or act with a calm, bright heart,
then happiness follows you,
like a shadow that never leaves.

shortcut

A shortcut into the path is to be inwardly empty and outwardly quiet, like water that is clear and still, myriad images reflecting in it, neither sinking nor floating, all things spontaneously so.

truth
