Today in highly local news: I saw flowers, played with cats, and hugged people who are important to me. Necessary tasks were accomplished. Excellent!

They do not intend to give up power.

Hundreds and hundreds of butterflies today. Big grasshoppers.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others. — His Holiness the Dalai Lama

It already is what I was trying to make it, so my efforts were redundant at best.

The fact that the federal occupations of blue cities, while bad for democracy and the people they hurt, only consist of enough troops to fill one Applebees kind of underscores that this is fascism primarily for content

god forbid a girl have hobbies

The body creates a premise out of sensory information and the mind takes that as if it were true. The self is the invisible vehicle the mind evolved to navigate conceptions about the world.

Humans love to talk the way birds love to sing.

The body is a song being sung by the universe in a thousand languages no human will ever hear.

Two motions occur almost simultaneously: (1) we look in the mirror and (2) see who we are

Love is reckless; not reason. Reason seeks a profit. Love comes on strong, consuming herself, unabashed. ... Having died of self-interest, she risks everything and asks for nothing. Love gambles away every gift God bestows. Without cause God gave us Being; without cause, give it back again. - Rumi

"The intellectual is always showing off; the lover is always getting lost. The intellectual runs away, afraid of drowning; the whole business of love is to drown in the sea. Intellectuals plan their repose; lovers are ashamed to rest." - Rumi, The Springtime of Lovers

Every illusion the mind creates uses the basic formula of wish fulfillment. I feel something is missing, and my brain fires the neurons that help me find it. But looking outward to feel whole is the root of suffering. Nirvana is the opposite. Contentedness is within and is already accomplished.

When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her

If phenomena are constricted through the limited perception of the ordinary senses, the passions arise and cause karma. When phenomena are recognized as the inconceivable affluence of wisdom senses, Buddhahood is attained. ~ Thinley Norbu

Nonaction is the vital point that contains all types of conduct. All other types of conduct change and do not last. Let actions be while free of effort; then all deeds are accomplished. 1/4

“Terrible things are happening. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.” - —Anne Frank #Portland #Chicago #Tyranny #ICE This is not normal. We cannot act like it is.

Jnanis are not made; they realize themselves as such, when they return to their source, their real nature. I cannot make you into what you already are. All I can tell you is the way I travelled and invite you to take it.

May sights and sounds become the state of emptiness beyond focal point, And, out of this emptiness, perfect in a single moment of recollection, May the kāya of the deity, the primordially perfect great seal, Manifest completely, like a water bubble from water. ~ Mingyur Palgyi Drönma

How evil must one be to intercept a benign aid ship on its way to innocents gripped by famine & bombs? It should be extremely clear to the world that these genocidaires are very intentional in their aim to starve Palestinians. Solidarity with the flotilla. They’re the best of us.

Dung beetle! Look at dem legs! The nuance of its movements makes it seem like a larger animal 😍💜

"When [the elements] appear, they appear within the expanse of space; while they remain, they remain within the expanse of space; and when they dissolve, they dissolve within that same expanse. Since the nature of space is unchanging ... all that appears and exists can be condensed into space."

the realest possible game dev meme 😂😭

My guru seems to teach vajra recitation as a full path. He also merges it with a form of tummo that doesn't seem to require empowerment (or maybe he can just give it out as he wishes bc he's mr guru idk). Color me intrigued. Vajra recitation can be so simple that it's difficult for me to stay with.

These two friends look pretty similar when out and about (yellow jacket and hover fly). Hover fly sounds and acts like a horsefly tho.

A vida expande ou encolhe na proporção do autocentramento.

“The heart is a mirror; polish it with love, and it will reflect the universe.” - RUMI 💙💙

Through immersion in a clarity that is not static, It dawns on us. It is a magnificent clear light. It is spontaneously realized from the primordial, And has no position ~ Tantra of the Nine Jewel Spaces

"An openness to whatever role appears. No need to contract around a fixed identity. No need to take on what is projected by ‘others.’ Who I am doesn’t need an answer." — Not what we think it is

9/-- True happiness is in love, which is the stream that springs from one's soul. He who will allow this stream to run continually in all conditions of life, in all situations, however difficult, will have a happiness which truly belongs to him, the source of which is not 10/

This process is simple and absolutely already present as intrinsic awareness. We're so used to thinking it's complicated. That we should be stopping thoughts through rigorous meditation, etc. No. It's the presence of awareness we already have. ✨ #dzogchen #buddhism www.youtube.com/watch?v=6maa...

I am listening now with all of my senses, as if the whole universe might exist just to teach me more about love. - Adrienne Maree Brown

The undivided intellect is, in fact, our secret mind. It is not a subject. It is not a reality. It is not anything at all. It is clear light. It is beyond all our limited consciousnesses. ~ Tantra of the Nine Jewel Spaces

Happiness and joy for life are inherent. They are hidden by our ideas about things. Let go of ideas about things! Play and be full of love!

When the mind of a sentient being, which is by nature clear light, does not objectify any appearances or mindsets, but makes them manifest, this very act of revealing is the external radiance of wisdom. The nature of what makes things manifest is the inner glow of wisdom. ~ Dudjom Lingpa

Don't be bothered with what others do, do not criticize or judge them for their dualistic thoughts and actions; just pay attention to your own mind and nothing else. Once you have become completely liberated you will be able to help others become liberated. Garchen Rinpoche

Calling out to all of our Buddha Nature. May this energy field bring peace to those suffering today. #watercolor #art #watercolorartist #peace #Buddhism #love

*record scratch* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

I annoyed my knees a bit doing a stupid stretch and holy moly, the amount of anxiety hiding in my brain about losing mobility... This is great for me to reflect on. I had no idea how much a light injury could bother me. Suffering is the only language I understand sometimes.
