The Art of Living

We need to use our mindfulness, concentration, and insight in order to understand what it means to be alive and what it means to die.

If we cannot be happy, right here and right now, we need to ask ourselves why.

Emptiness means to be full of everything but empty of a separate existence.

The whole cosmos is present in this one little flower.

To inter-be reflects reality more accurately.

Suffering is not only individual; it is also collective.

We are all drawing the circle together.

We cannot separate the two. You cannot take the mind out of the body, and you cannot take the body out of the mind.

The first wrong view we need to liberate ourselves from is the idea that we are a separate self cut off from the rest of the world.

The second wrong view that many of us hold is the view that we are only this body, and that when we die we cease to exist.
