Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 12/31/2010


"Feelings, either of care or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, as well as treated on an absolutely next to basis; because both have been ourselves. The tangerine we am eating is me. The mustard greens we am planting have been me. we plant with all my heart as well as mind. we clean this teapot with the kind of courtesy we would have were we giving the baby Buddha or Jesus the bath. Nothing should be treated some-more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard immature plant, as well as teapot have been all sacred."
