all beings are by nature buddha

All beings

are by nature Buddha,

as ice by nature is water. Apart

from water there is no ice;

apart from beings,

no Buddha.

Hakuin

pour time into your heart and wait

To lift food

bits stuck to a pan,

we pour water in it and wait.

Don’t struggle to remove your

wound. Pour time into

your heart and

wait.

Haemin Sunim

The greatest generosity is non-attachment.

Atiśa Dīpa kara Śrījñāna

Enlightenment

does not care how

you get there.

To be free

is not merely to cast off

one’s chains, but to live in a way

that respects and enhances

the freedom of

others.

Nelson Mandela
