"There is nothing more important than love in both the Dharma and the world. Love is happiness and the cause of happiness in this and all future lives. In the holy Dharma it is called bodhicitta. Humans on a worldly level call it love."

Compassion and love are my very core. Free of all predilections, I am free to love.

Above the unity of Being is the union of Love. Love is the meaning and purpose of duality.

Analysis only goes so far. Eventually we must fall in love.

Let this love end the nonsense of a meditator who meditates.

Today is the first of 25 days of #Crustmas! Post as many crustaceans as possible! (not just crabs) 🦑🧪

This year I'm less personally inclined towards "crabs are the ultimate form", and my piece below explains why.

PS all posts will be right here on the crab feed 🦀

Woke up with a panic attack and a racing mind. 👹🧠🔁

Would be a rough day if I didn't have confidence in methods to handle afflictive emotions.

Instead it's handy to have sneaky emotions clearly illuminated.

The legs on the right side are now done (minus the orange bristles).

Back to rendering the carapace the next few days and then adding some soft textures/drop shadow to the background.

The end is finally in sight 🦀

The Chinese buddhist eight consciousnesses model is tying together loose ends I wasn't sure what to do with otherwise.

The progression of the path can be roughly understood from the basics of the model.

Practical and psychological rather than typical bhumi language.

I am thankful for y'all 💜🙏

I hope you have a wonderful day

"Dharma" teachings arise naturally as the Universe's compassion for its own suffering.

These teachings arise as all religions, spirituality, or beliefs that help remove the causes of our suffering.

Even if we do not practice "dharma," we can appreciate a sense universal self-compassion.

Every year in the United States, tens of millions of turkeys are killed for the holiday of Thanksgiving, which is this Thursday, Nov 27, 2025. Lama Zopa Rinpoche offered advice in a 2018 teaching to help benefit the turkeys killed, and how we can think during the holiday.

If we examine our authentic nature, nothing can be said to exist therein;
Likewise, taking authenticity as the path, becoming one with it,
Knowing it only in a moment of unimaged, nonconceptual vision,
Consumed by it, we are completely, transparently naked.

By fully believing our own bullshit
and being carried away by it
we come to understand how
all beings do the same
and
are just like ourselves

"I am" as an empty cup 🍵

Fill'er up with what's needed.
Empty it out when finished.
Rinse, repeat.

No need to confuse the cup with the water.

I could die at any moment.

Nothing I'm worried about now will matter to me then.

Better learn to love before I disappear.
