Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche: “Before I answer your questions, I want to point out that Buddhists pray for all beings to become Buddha, not Buddhist. As well, any sense of Buddhist identity or self is not the aim of a path that teaches selflessness.” #Buddhism #selflessness #Dharma #peace

"As Meister Eckhart said, "God, please relieve me of the idea of God so I can experience the reality of God.” Acknowledging the egoic boundary of his experience, he realized that he couldn’t even hold onto his spiritual conceptions. Conceptualization gets in the way of revelation." 🖊️ Adyashanti

our breakfast conversation was about God. Ava brought the idea to the table for discussion and our consensus is God is everything call it whatever you want describe it whichever way makes you comfortable let the realization wash you in astonishing grace 🪷

This shift isn’t about withdrawing - it’s about aligning Letting go of constant comparison, pressure, and busyness creates room for what actually feels good There’s peace in not chasing everything, and in trusting that what’s for you won’t pass you by 💛

As life evolves, the pull to be everywhere softens FOMO (fear of missing out) can quietly turn into JOMO (joy of missing out) - where saying no isn’t loss, it’s relief Choosing less noise can mean more space to breathe, think, and just be #mentalhealth

Wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa) Nicknamed "thunderbolt" in some lore, because it was believed to summon storms. 🌩️ Because they spread very slowly, about 6 feet per century, they are considered strong indicators of ancient, undisturbed woodland.💚 #forest #bloomscrolling #flowers #photography #ECK
