Discourse on Knowing ​the
​Better Way to Live Alone

"Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is.
The future has not yet come.

Looking deeply at life as it is in the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.
We must be diligent today.
​
To wait till tomorrow is too late.
Death comes unexpectedly.
How can we bargain with it?
The sage calls a person who dwells in mindfulness night and day, ‘the one who knows the better way to live alone.’

Racism is a Disease.
​Getting sick was not our fault.  
​Getting well is our responsibility.

  5. “This is a happy moment,”
  6. “You are partially correct,” or  “Yes, dear, you are right, partially.”

The Insight that Brings
​Us to the Other Shore

Avalokiteshvara while practicing deeply with the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore, suddenly discovered that all of the five Skandhas are equally empty, and with this realization he overcame all Ill-being.

“Listen Sariputra, this Body itself is Emptiness and Emptiness itself is this Body. This Body is not other than Emptiness and Emptiness is not other than this Body. The same is true of Feelings, Perceptions, Mental Formations, and Consciousness.
