I, the snow lioness who stays in snowy solitudes, Have milk which is like the essential nectar. In the absence of golden cups, I would not pour it in an ordinary vessel.
then without a warning another winter storm comes raging through and the mercury’s fallin’ i’m left all alone just like spring time in alberta chills me to the bone
Fearlessness is the most prominent characteristic of all bodhisattvas and all who tread the bodhisattva path. For them, life has lost its terrors and suffering its sting. Instead of scorning earthly existence, or condemning its ‘imperfection’, they fill it with a new meaning.
afraid that you can’t climb higher scared that you’re gonna fall every time the road gets harder the art of survival

Ego is the problem. Sometimes ego is very spoiled, like a child who is constantly throwing tantrums. Sometimes ego doesn’t accept where we are. Sometimes ego doesn’t accept who we are. Sometimes ego doesn’t accept the way things are without any real complaint. So what do we do? There is nothing that we can do. Sometimes ego doesn’t accept the fact that the sky is blue but there is nothing that we can do. You see. Sometimes ego doesn’t accept that we are living on a planet that is permeated with natural disasters, earthquakes, floods, and other catastrophes. All we can do is accept that and learn how to surrender to the flow of all events.
Sometimes we feel that one individual’s action is very insignificant. Then we think, of course, that effects should come from channeling or from a unifying movement. But the movement of the society, community or group of people means joining individuals. Society means a collection of individuals, so that initiative must come from individuals. Unless each individual develops a sense of responsibility, the whole community cannot move. So therefore, it is very essential that we should not feel that individual effort is meaningless – you should not feel that way. We should make an effort.

A true partner or friend is one who encourages you to look deep inside yourself for the beauty and love you’ve been seeking.
you can count on me like one, two, three i’ll be there and i know when i need it, i can count on you like four, three, two and you’ll be there ’cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
Half of life is lost in charming others.
The other half is lost in going through anxieties caused by others.
Leave this play. You have played enough.
the more i see, the less i know the more i like to let it go hey oh, whoa, whoa, whoa deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it’s so white as snow privately divided by a world so undecided and there’s nowhere to go

Be as careful as you can. Our minds are funny. Sometimes we are skeptical of things that are really worthwhile and completely accepting of things that we should avoid. Try to avoid extremes and follow the middle way, checking with wisdom wherever you go.
we’re on a road to nowhere come on inside takin’ that ride to nowhere we’ll take that ride

There are two kinds of happiness, mental happiness, and outer happiness. Outer happiness comes through meeting with an external object and is transitory. Mental happiness comes about through meditation and positive thought, it is stable and does not cause suffering. One cannot be happy if one does not have mental happiness, no matter how abundant the external sources of outer happiness are, but if one is truly happy in one’s mind, then one is unaffected by outer problems.
you gotta swing your hips now come on baby a jump up oh, jump back oh well, i think you’ve got the knack, oh-oh
What is the mind? It is a phenonmenon that is not body, not substantial, has no form, no shape, no colour, but, like a mirror, can clearly reflect objects.
