“Reality does appear to exist, there does appear to be birth, youth, people appear to have children. But all of it's a dream. These are isolated moments that are only connected by perception. There is no separation.” PeopleChildrenDoeMomentsDreamRealityAwarenessYouthBuddhismBirthPerceptionConnectedSeparationIsolated Author:Frederick Lenz
“The separation of families to me is very close to my heart because we lived that as immigrants. I strongly feel that we all connected, and having felt people's love and support first-hand through difficult moments in my life, makes me feel it's our responsibility to help one another. I am privileged to help in some way, and I will always take that opportunity.” PeopleWayFeelsFirstsHeartMomentsHelpingHandsOpportunityFeltDifficultResponsibilitySupportMy HeartConnectedSeparationImmigrantsPrivilegedDifficult MomentsClose To My Heart Author:Gloria Estefan
“It is easy to imagine that the Buddha, the awakened one, is something or somewhere other than here or that awakening to reality will happen sometime other than now. But as long as we continue to think in terms of time we will deceive ourselves. The you who is chasing enlightenment will never become enlightened. Instead of striving towards some distant goal that you will never reach, I invite you to stop and ask: How am I avoiding the enlightenment that is already present in each moment? How am I seeing separation where it doesn't exist?” ThinkingLongMomentsRealityHappensTimeAsksEasyGoalTermImagineSeeingEnlightenmentStriveAwakeningSeparationEnlightenedInvitesImagine ThatDeceivingAvoidingChasingAwakened Author:Adyashanti
“A cruel joke has been played on us. We are fated always to remember what we learned but never to recall the experiences that taught us. Who can remember being born? Yet, it is possible to speculate that anxiety has its roots in this experience, that dread of abandonment, fears of separation, intolerable loneliness go back to this moment. Who can remember being cared for as an infant? ... Who can remember being toilet-trained? ... Who can remember the attachment which developed to the parent of the opposite sex? ... We cannot remember but what we have forgotten lives on dynamically.” Has BeensMomentsRememberSexParentBornLonelinessTaughtAnxietyJokesRootsOppositesForgottenSeparationAttachmentDreadRecallsInfantToiletsAbandonmentTaught Us Author:Jo Coudert
