Rude Buddha - Saturday Night Live
#SNL
I did my 48th(!) intensive #meditation retreat last week, and I hear in Hironari's post something that resonates for me—how much contemplative practice is about a profoundly simple engagement with the living truth.
And I'm reminded too of a line in the 1981 movie "Chariots of Fire," where the Christian sister of an Olympic runner is concerned about him practicing on Sun…
“At the dawn of his enlightenment, someone asked the Buddha, "What are your credentials? How do we know that you are enlightened?" He touched his hand to the ground. "This solid earth is my witness. This solid earth, this sane earth, is my witness." Sane and solid and definite, no imaginings, no concepts, no emotions, no frivolity, but being basically what is: this is the awakened state. And this is the example we follow in our meditation practice.” Chögyam Trungpa

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
— Buddha
Agree, disagree — be inspired or not.
QOTD is fuel for conversation, and food for thought.

Flora und Buddha gucken sich noch ein wenig die Wiese am Atelier an, bevor sie eine/r von euch adoptiert. Da ist dann das Gras natürlich viel grüner, sagen sie.
