The body is a sensing instrument of consciousness. Without the body and mind, the trees could not see themselves.

Ego is the movement of the mind toward objects of perception in the form of grasping, and away from objects in the form of aversion. This fundamentally is all the ego is.

Adyashanti
Image
Whatever you resist, persists.

The goal of Buddhism is to create Buddhas, not Buddhists, as the goal of Christianity is to create Christs, not Christians.
Adyashanti
Image
You are the doorway to the infinite.
Adyashanti
Image
Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.
