According to Buddha
The very entity of the mind, its nature of mere luminosity and knowing, is not polluted by defilements; they do not abide in the entity of the mind. Even when we generate afflictive emotions, the very entity or nature of the mind is still mere luminosity and knowing, and because of this we are able to remove the afflictive emotions. If you agitate the water in a pond, it becomes cloudy with mud; yet the very nature of the water itself is not dirty. When you allow it to become still again, the mud will settle leaving the water pure.

you, lost and lonely
you, strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water
you’re just like a dream
you’re just like a dream

It is unbelievable…where is the UN…how has this war continued so long…it’s heartbreaking🙏🤍🕊sending peace and love hedy
When the president of a nation at war tells the UN: “Kick them out or dissolve” I think we are beginning to see the premises of a new world. Better hopefully. (Dissolve the UN? Why not? After all the Société des Nations was dissolved and replaced by the UN after the war…)
Peace and love back. 💕
I had my hedy head blurt this week about the UN I don’t know anymore Brian…following foto journalists is heavy hearted…so I imagine a different world, imagine🤍🕊hugs hedy
“The blurt”?
Indeed one has to imagine a different world… 🙏🏻
