When we feel most stuck, even then, we are never separated from the awakened state. When our neurosis feels far more basic than our wisdom, it is there for us. Even ordinary people like us can find this openness of our heart, it is our true and natural condition.
The hands teach us not to be selfish, the mouth to give thanks with words, the nose to learn from our environment, the eyes to show compassion and sincerity, the ears to keep our balance; all parts teach us to both give and receive. If our senses are so noble, shouldn’t we be as well?
Nothing in the realm of thoughts or ideologies is absolute, because of this there is nothing more futile that relying on the mind. Quiet your thinking, quit making distinctions between one thing and another, just stay in your centre, and accept all things as being part of you.
Adornment is not only putting on external ornamentation, it is more important to enhance the inner essence and thereby improve our inner vitality, warmth, and life balance. We see real beauty when there is vitality, warmth and balance showing through a creature or a creation.
Quote: When you speak to Nature correctly, she always answers in the same way.
