“If I am practicing spiritual poverty, which says that I own nothing, then the problems aren't mine and neither are the energy and compassion pouring through my heart to try to solve them. I am just a link in the process. If I don't take anything personally, then I can do great work without flagging. The Dalai Lama once said, 'Try with all your might - to work very, very hard - to make the world a better place, and if all your efforts are to no avail . . . no hard feelings!'” IfsWorldTryingHeartSaidI CanHardFeelingsProblemMightSpiritualEnergyProcessCan DoEffortCompassionPovertyMinesMy HeartSolveLinksBetter PlaceGreat WorkPouringLamaDalai Author:Bo Lozoff
“We're all doing time. As soon as we get born, we find ourselves assigned to one little body, one set of desires and fears, one family, city, state, country, and planet. Who can ever understand exactly why or how it comes down as it does? The bottom line is, here we are. Whatever, wherever we are, this is what we've got. It's up to us whether we do it as easy time or hard time.” LittlesDoeCountryHardStatesBodyDesireEasyBornLinesCitiesPlanetsPerspectiveBottomHard TimesBottom Line Author:Bo Lozoff
