Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

You might be tempted to avoid the messiness of daily living for the tranquility of stillness and peacefulness. This of course would be an attachment to stillness, and like any strong attachment, it leads to delusion. It arrests development and short-circuits the cultivation of wisdom. — Jon Kabat-Zinn

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Linji Yixuan (d. 866 CE)

An ancient said that if you call it a thing, you miss the mark. Just look for yourself: what else is there? Talk could go on forever: each of you must personally make the effort. — Linji Yixuan (d. 866 CE)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

You have to make time. There is enough time. You work eight hours a day. Some people then say:  I have no time to practice. But instead they go to a bar, sit in front of the television, go to  the movies, or do other things. If you really want to practice, then you have to give up those things. It is not necessary to cut yourself off from life completely, but you must slowly eliminate distraction. — Jetsunma Kushok Chimey Luding (b. 1938)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

By observing the world with a still mind, we see that after the waves subside, the sea returns to calm; after the storms have passed, the earth grows quiet; and after emotional turmoils fade, the human heart, too, finds tranquility. Having weathered life’s tempests, and tasted its many flavors—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy—we come to realize that the truest contentment lies in simplicity. — Master Zhisui

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

What if ... by contemplating your own thoughts, actions, and feelings, and by noticing their causes and effects, you could establish ease and confidence in life?

What if ... without belief, supposition, or ideology, you could find out how you get stressed and frustrated, and put an end to all that?

At any rate ... since you are living your life, you might as well pay attention to it. Why not fully awaken to what is happening in and around you? — Ajahn Sucitto

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay this past Saturday, an excerpt from the #Therīgāthā:

> "I cultivated a state of mind that depends on nothing else and cannot be measured.
> I became focused, collected.
> I am free, and I will always be completely free."

(In Italian - English in alt-text and below)

Uno schizzo veloce, un disegno fatto ritagliando un tempo che non ho per celebrare l'antifascismo e la liberazione, ma soprattutto per ricordare, in primis a me stessa, che la resistenza è un atto quotidiano, che risiede in ogni atto, anche nelle pennellate improvvisate di una mattina di aprile, un 25 Aprile.
Buona liberazione e buona resistenza a tutti e tutte!

Picture of a watercolour sketchbook with a sketch in ink and watercolour of a “partigiana”, a woman of the Italian antifascist resistance, with big red poppies, symbols of the partisan resistance. Colour palette: red, green, white, strokes in black ink, some yellow watercolour spots.
Translation of the caption:
“A quick sketch, a drawing made during a time I don’t have to celebrate antifascism and liberation, but especially to remind, to myself first, that resistance is an everyday act, and it lives in every act, even in the improvised brushstrokes in a morning in April, an April 25.
Happy liberation and happy resistance to everyone!”

This sounds interesting - I don't know about the #liberation movements which ended #colonization in much of the world, but I want to.

Solnit: We are our stories ... that can be both prison and the crowbar to break open the door of that prison; we make stories to save ourselves or to trap ourselves or others, stories that lift us up or smash us against the stone wall of our own limits and fears. #Liberation is always in part a storytelling process: breaking stories, breaking silences, making new stories. A free person tells her own story. A valued person lives in a society in which her #story has a place.
