“One man watches a river flow by. If he does not wish it to flow, to change ceaselessly in accord with its nature, he will suffer great pain. Another man understands that nature of the river is to change constantly, regardless of his likes and dislikes, and therefore he does not suffer. To know existence as this flow, empty of lasting pleasure, void of self, is to find that which is stable and free of suffering, to find true peace in the world.” IfsKnowsMenWorldDoeSelfPainSufferingWishPleasureExistenceWatchesFlowRiversEmptyLikesLastingOne ManDislikeVoidStableAnother ManAccordTrue PeaceLikes And Dislikes Author:Ajahn Chah
“The zest for life of those unusual men and women who make a great zealous success of living is due more often in good part to the craftiness and pertinacity with which they manage to overlook the misery of others. You can watch them watch life beat the stuffing out of the faces of their friends and acquaintances, although they themselves seem to outwit the dense delays of social custom, the tedious tick-tock of bureaucratic obfuscation, accepting loss and age and change and disappointment without suffering punctures in their stomach lining.” MenLifeSeemsAgeFacesSufferingSocialLossAcceptingWatchesBeatsMen And WomenMiseryDisappointmentDuesManageCustomsStomachUnusualDelayAcquaintanceTediousDenseTickZestZealousPunctureZest For LifeObfuscationTockTick TockCraftiness Author:Edward Hoagland

“Watch how your mind judges. Judgment comes, in part, out of your own fear. You judge other people because you're not comfortable in your own being. By judging, you find out where you stand in relation to other people. The judging mind is very divisive. It separates. Separation closes your heart. If you close your heart to someone, you are perpetuating your suffering and theirs. Shifting out of judgment means learning to appreciate your predicament and their predicament with an open heart instead of judging. Then you can allow yourself and others to just be, without separation.” PeopleIfsMindHeartMeanSufferingWatchesJudgingComfortableJudgmentAppreciateRelationSeparationShiftingOpen HeartPredicamentsAppreciate YouPerpetuatingWhere You StandJudging You Author:Ram Dass
“Suffering is to the heart and soul as tears are to the eyes, cleansing and expelling toxicity from the inner system. When we do not allow ourselves to feel appropriate pain, we move into a sort of non-experience. We watch life rather than live it; we look but never get too close.” FeelsLooksHeartSoulEyePainMovingSufferingWatchesTearsAppropriateHeart And SoulCleansingToxicity Author:Tian Dayton
