“The good news is that we are Buddha.
The bad news is that all beings are Buddha.
The sickness of being human is the sickness of wanting to be unique.”
Albert Low

“to be able to enter into the stillness that is one’s own true nature, one must break up constantly the addiction and fascination with being something.”
Albert Low, Zen: Talks, Stories and Commentaries

“We poke the fires of negativity with memories: past failures, past conflicts, past betrayals and humiliations. Constantly we rake the coals seeking to know the self in the light and heat of their pain. The last thing people will abandon, said Gurdjieff, is their suffering.”
Albert Low, Zen: Talks, Stories and Commentaries
