Sublime

The Buddha said, “My Dharma is the practice of non-practice.”1 Practice in a way that does not tire you out, but gives your body, emotions, and consciousness a chance to rest. Our body and mind have the capacity to heal themselves if we allow them to rest.

In The Art of Happiness, Howard Cutler asked the Dalai Lama

Bodhiruchi,

True monks must have right view in their daily life, which is the ability to distinguish Buddha from Mara, true from false, sacred from profane.

Together with a willingness to experiment with various ways of looking, and to notice their effects on dukkha and on appearances, this will be enough to gradually unfold more profound insights.

we must beware, because an excellent, profound, living tradition of yoga can still be worn by an idiot as a decoration for his or her ego, while a sincere, open-minded, inquisitive student of a fractured lineage can breathe new life and insight into that tradition for everyone’s benefit.

“Don’t come to me seeking something. The enlightenment, happiness, stability, and freedom you seek are already inside you.”
