"When understood, the Buddha’s universe..is anything but alien and inhibiting. It is a world full of hope, where everything we need to do can be done and everything that matters is within human reach. It is a world where kindness, unselfishness, non-violence, and compassion achieve what self-interest and arrogance cannot. It is a world where any human can be happy in goodness and the fullness of giving." ❦ Eknath Easwara

Practice is just “suchness” - always right here, right now

"We need to realize that practice is not being or nonbeing, not form or emptiness: it is just practice. 'Just practice' is suchness. It is this very moment, transcending all dualities. 'Just practice' contains no past and no future. It is always right here, right now."

 Zen Master John Daido Loori
