I love cats, geese, ducks, coffee, green tea ice cream, sparkly flip-flops and big purses with secure zipper closures.

Quote from the Prajnaparamita

Subhuti asked: “What does buddha mean?”

The Buddha answered: “Buddha is reality. One who thoroughly comprehends
all the factors of existence is a buddha.”

Quote from the Ashtavakra Gita

The awareness of the fool is always limited
By thinking, or by trying not to think.

The awareness of the man who lives within,
Though he may be busy thinking,
Is beyond even awareness itself.

Quote from the Dalai Lama

and, indeed, to all sentient beings who suffer.

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance.

People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own
happiness or satisfaction.

The tag on the

have to be told this.
