All the faults of our mind – our selfishness, ignorance, anger, attachment, guilt, and other disturbing thoughts – are temporary, not permanent and everlasting. And since the cause of our suffering – our disturbing thoughts and obscurations – is temporary, our suffering is also temporary.
-Lama Zopa Rinpoche, “Ultimate Healing”
From Daily Wisdom: 365 Buddhist Inspirations,” edited by Josh Bartok.
Thought for the Day:
“Back in school I treated schizophrenics who were anywhere from clearly on-the-surface very different, but there were others with whom everything would seem normal until they began discussing the area of their reality that parted from everyone else’s. Sort of like talking to a neoconservative.”

“Let your hair down if you must, but don’t expect everyone to brush it for you.”

“Effective communication requires constant effort, but ineffective
communication requires constant apologies.”

“Never take a path that has no heart in it. You can’t lose if your heart is in your work, but you can’t win if your heart is not in it.”

“When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain and you think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.”

To persuade a man that his experience is not real or is worthless is to be a propagandist for some vested interest.
In appearing normal to others, one becomes a habit-ridden plaything of social pressures and expectations.
The criterion of “success” has shifted from exclusive attention to behavior to concern for the quality of experience.
Our possibilities of experiencing are infinite and infinitely beyond that splinter of awareness we acknowledge, call “normal,” and disclose to others.
