Oneness is our Reality … ( 08 / 04 / 2011 )
“ We are not as solid as we think . In truth , there is enormous space in which to live our everyday lives … The sense of a separate , isolated self and a separate , isolated other is a painful misunderstanding .
True compassion does not come from wanting to help out those less fortunate than ourselves , but rather from realizing our kinship with all beings .” ~ Pema Chodron
P . S . Remember , we realize our kinship with others only in those moments when we act accordingly .
“ One of the most powerful teachings of the Buddhist tradition is that as long as you are wishing for things to change , they never will . As long as you are wanting yourself to get better , you won ’ t . As long as you have an orientation towards the future , you can never just relax into what you already have or already are .” ~ Pema Chodron
