The quieting of our mind is a political act. The world does not - TopicsExpress



          

The quieting of our mind is a political act. The world does not really need more oil or energy or food. It needs less greed, less hatred, less ignorance. --Jack Kornfield Our minds always want to discriminate and distinguish and compare, to slice up into bits and pieces what cannot be separated. When you look deeply at a tree, there is in reality no separation between you and it. To express it awkwardly, what is really there is something like: me-seeing-tree. Inseparable. To sit and smile instantly changes the world. Social action and spiritual practice are inseparable, like coming and going, being and nonbeing, tree and perceiver, sacred and profane.
