Ram Dass, Be Here Now

Ram Dass, Be Here Now

Jack Kerouac
“Are we fallen angels who didn’t want to believe that nothing is nothing and so were born to lose our loved ones and dear friends one by one and finally our own life, to see it proved?…But”
Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums:

Jack Kerouac
“finally I went over to an old cook in the doorway of the kitchen and asked him “Why did Bodhidharma come from the West?” (Bodhidharma was the Indian who brought Buddhism eastward to China.) “I don’t care,” said the old cook, with lidded eyes, and I told Japhy and he said, “Perfect answer, absolutely perfect.

Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums:

Jack Kerouac
“. . . it's a privilege to practice giving presents to others." The way he did it was charming; there was nothing glittery and Christmasy about it, but almost sad, and sometimes his gifts were old beat-up things but they had the charm of usefulness and sadness of his giving.”
Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
