"We see white people losing it whenever they're faced with the fragility of whiteness because the shadow of privilege is this: You don't learn to take care of yourself inside. You don't learn to value your internal life. You get so fixated on your external life that you forget your internal life is much, much bigger, much deeper, and much more rewarding." — Jul 15, 2026 05:37PM

"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
