“I do the things that I do because I know that I can die at any second. I experience great suffering when I forget my impermanence. My teachers have taught me to love myself, and that has cause me to love beings in the world. There is no greater work than the work of self-love because it lies at the heart of our liberation from ignorance. I show up because I love. I am present because of love. I am alive because of love. I thrive because I am loved. Radical presence is born out of love. In the end, may all beings be liberated through the celebration and love of the things we all once suffered from.”
― Lama Rod Owens, Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation

“Wisdom prophets who lay bare the unarmed truth of the trans-generational cultural illness of white superiority in equal measure with an unapologetic love that holds those besieged by that plague in the light of their humanity, distinguishing disease from host, are being called forth....and they are gaining in number.”
― Rev. Angel Kyodo Williams
