According to Buddha

Someone who begins to develop an interest in the teachings can tend to distance themselves from the reality of material things, as if the teachings were something completely apart from daily life. Often, at the bottom of all this, there is an attitude of giving up and running away from one’s own problems, with the illusion that one will be able to find something that will miraculously help one to transcend all that. But the teachings are based on the principle of our actual human condition. We have a physical body with all its various limits: each day we have to eat, work, rest, and so on. This is our reality, and we can’t ignore it.

According to Buddha

Suppose you are going to be punished by not being allowed to go to sleep when you are desperately in need of rest, and suddenly someone says: “All right, you may go to sleep now.” Think of the joy you would feel just before falling asleep.

according to Buddha

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.

according to Buddha

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.

another simple precept from Buddha is ‘do not steal’.

i gave a woman a dinner…

i woke up…in a very different place…

i took photographs of her…

i stole a glimpse…

…steal.
