"At its heart, Buddhism is wonderfully practical. It's less concerned with metaphysical questions like "Is there a god?" and more focused on "How can we end suffering?" It's like focusing on living authentically rather than debating why we're queer – it's about working with what is, right here, right now." — May 25, 2026 03:11PM

"Lama Rod Owens says, "The work to turn our attention back to the woundedness is this intense, profound path of transformation, which doesn't feel as good as responding to the anger because the energy of anger makes us feel powerful. Some of us, particularly if we're coming from communities where we feel marginalized, use that anger to feel powerful, to feel valid." There is this vulnerability to being with the pain." — May 22, 2026 07:28PM

"Many of us are willing to spend six or eight years studying to get a diploma. We believe it's necessary for us to be happy. But very few of us are willing to spend three or six months, or even a year, training ourselves to handle our sadness or our anger, to listen with compassion, and to use loving speech." — Apr 16, 2026 09:25AM

“The famed author Robert Lewis Stevenson declared that he'd trained his Brownies to be writers. As he slept, they would whisper fantastic plots in his ear -- for example, the strange case of Dr. Jekyll and the diabolical Mr. Hyde, and that episode in "Olalla" when a young man from an old Spanish family bites his sister's hand.”

“Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world," he said wisely one day, "but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen. I am going to try and experiment.”
