“Selflessness is humility. ... humility and freedom go hand in hand. Only a humble person can be free.”
Jeff Wilson, Buddhism of the Heart: Reflections on Shin Buddhism and Inner Togetherness
“There is one advantage to realizing that you're never going to get it right: you do begin to stop expecting everyone else to get it right too, which makes for less frustration when other people turn out to be just as human as you are.”
Jeff Wilson, Buddhism of the Heart: Reflections on Shin Buddhism and Inner Togetherness
“In the Shin view, awakening isn't something we strive desperately for and obtain through our own efforts at study or meditation—it is something we settle into and receive. And it is through the stories and metaphors of the tradition and how they move us beyond the petty ego that we come closer to the entrusting heart, the heart that is rooted in gratitude and considerate awareness of others.”
Jeff Wilson, Buddhism of the Heart: Reflections on Shin Buddhism and Inner Togetherness
