An Old Zen Rule Of Thumb Is

To Enjoy The World Without Judgment Is What A Realized Life Is Like.

What Does Open Us Is Sharing Our Vulnerabilities. Sometimes We See A Couple Who Has Done This Difficult Work Over A Lifetime. In The Process, They Have Grown Old Together. We Can Sense The Enormous Comfort, The Shared Quality Of Ease Between These People. It Is Beautiful, And Very Rare. Without This Quality Of Openness And Vulnerability, Partners Don't Really Know Each Other; They Are One Image Living With Another Image.

Meditation Practice Is Simply Moving From A Life Of Hurting Myself And Others To A Life Of Not Hurting Myself And Others.

In Spiritual Maturity, The Opposite Of Injustice Is Not Justice But Compassion.

It's Of No Use To Look Back And Say, "i Should Have Been Different." At Any Given Moment, We Are The Way We Are, And We See What We're Able To See. For That Reason, Guilt Is Always Inappropriate.
