Wise words from bums (moved to journal)

[Haribol]

Soooo…. when I read something that catches my attention, or have a thought I think is of value, I like to write them down. Here, I will do that. And I hope you will as well! Most likely tho, I’ll forget about this thread in less than a week and it will die, but so be it.

this is from another thread here on the forum.  

I am partial to the practice of silence and stillness.

 

"This is the foundational oral instruction for the cultivation of the heart-mind through the refinement and the nourishing of self. Refinement of self is when external conditions strike the heart-mind and the heart-mind does not move. Nourishing the self is when internal dust does not arise, and clarity and stillness are constantly aware."
