“During my time here, I learnt that one could not escape the secular world anymore than one could escape the web of karma that one had sown. True enlightenment comes not from isolation but immersion. The monks in the temples never really abandoned the world. Their doors were always open, and they took up arms when necessary as they had demonstrated countless times before. Their severance with attachment was to connect them with greater compassion, a higher love.” LoveInspirationCompassionKindnessBuddhismZenGenerosityTao Book:Snow at Heaven's Edge: A Tale from the Carefree Swordsman Saga Source: Snow at Heaven's Edge: A Tale from the Carefree Swordsman Saga
