Do not feel discouraged. Just by your way of looking at things and doing things, you influence others. Approach everyone with love and patience, try to water the positive seeds in them. We have to help each other, being skillful, kind, and understanding.

Love In Action

Transformation is possible. There are already seeds of peace in those we call "hawks," but they need us to water their seeds of peace and understanding or else their seeds of anger and aggression will continue to dominate them. 🪡 #ThichNhatHanh
Writings on Non Violent Social Change

ru 🪷 @ruinedfinery.bsky.social · 5h

Violence has become the substance of our society.
We must transform our shared suffering through compassion and deep understanding. We have to look at the roots of the problem and not just on the surface. We accept violence as a way of life and dealing with problems. 🪡 #ThichNhatHanh

When Gandhi said that love is the force that can liberate, he meant we have to love our enemy.
Even if our enemy is cruel, sowing terror and injustice.
This is the message of Jesus.
But how? We have to understand how he has come to be like that.

"In Vietnam, we staged nonviolent action and brought down a government-
-not with guns or bullets.
We must rely on ourselves and organize ourselves so that we can perform the peace work of transformation and healing within our family, group, and community."

Buddha did not teach us to get rid of suffering. He taught us to know suffering. Once we know suffering as it is, see truth as it is, we see this body is itself suffering and the mind is itself suffering. When you see suffering clearly, the mind will unwind its attachment. #buddhism A. Pramote

we harbor many birds and wildlife in our small sanctuary here.
they are neighbors, family, offering
us their trust.
today we grieve with the dove. 🪷

the lone dove
still cries
in the early
dark of days
i press myself
to the window
i offer consolation

the dove had flown
tree to tree
as Eric buried his mate
under the star magnolia

i rise each morning to
a sleeping home
the cat the only one aware
as i pad down the stairs
to Ava's suite

i cozy into the chair beside
her bed
the rhythm of
her soft sleeping breath

i sit here now anticipating
her awakening

i know no other way to
love her ❤️ ru

She lives in the bliss of awakening, She drinks the juice of her own self-nature.

The dead are unhappy,
the living are unhappy,
The hungry are unhappy,
the well-fed are unhappy.

Sahajo says:
The sage alone is blissful, She has found the eternal joy. - - Sahajo - -

'For generosity, nothing to do,
Other than stop fixating on self.

For meditative stability, nothing to do,
Other than rest in presence.

For wisdom, nothing to do,
Other than know directly how things
are.'
