✨🪷 Discipline isn’t punishment. It is the kindest thing you can do for yourself and others. Every mindful choice we make is an act of self-love. 🪷✨

The kind that nourishes, liberates, acts with courage, and leans in when others look away.

"Existence is like a river in constant flux. Our beliefs and understanding should reflect this natural flow. Anchoring ourselves to one viewpoint limits our spiritual growth, which should come from active questioning rather than passive acceptance."

"The ongoing search for wisdom demands that we continually challenge and reassess our long-held beliefs and assumptions."

We start to see others with the same tenderness we long for ourselves.

Harming others, then, is often a reflection of how far we’ve drifted from the self-awareness that makes self-love possible.

What if we all softened a little more, with ourselves and one another? ✨🪷 (2/2)

Now if only some Buddhist traditions could apply this energy to, oh I don’t know, removing barriers to full ordination for women? Or removing those extra 100+ precepts nuns have to follow that monks don’t? 🤔

Or is 2025 still too soon? How much longer? Just wondering! 🤗🥰💕🪷✨

✨🪷 Love this new trend where competence and fairness suddenly matter. 😊 How wonderful it is to live in a fully woke utopia where racism, sexism, favoritism, bias, and systemic discrimination have magically vanished overnight. 🪄🥳 (1/2) ⬇️
