“If I could not be peaceful in the midst of danger, then the kind of peace I might have in simpler times would not mean anything.”

“There is no light apart from the dark, and no enlightenment apart from delusion. There is no permanently enlightened person. The very notion of such a thing is delusion.”
― Nothing to Grasp
― Nothing to Grasp
“Longing to stop, thinking we 'should' stop, trying to stop, and this whole conflict between the desire to stop and the desire to indulge--all of it is part of the addiction (and is different from actually stopping).”

“All is not lost
in this wilderness world
we sometimes are
sometimes we spiral through black
lost in night
cloaked in dark dreams of cold concrete
and yet
together
the way can be found
one foot
one step
one star
one breath
and then another.
All is not lost
all is not lost
I am waiting for you
brother.”
― The Final Year

“If the bodhisattvas live during a time of armed conflict,
they give rise to the mind of compassion,
transforming those who are fighting,
and causing them to dwell in a land without contention.
If there are great wars,
the bodhisattvas make the strength on both sides equal.
They manifest their spiritual authority
and subdue people so that peace is restored.”
― The Bodhisattva Path: Commentary on the Vimalakirti and Ugrapariprccha Sutras
