Most have no ability to distinguish between their thoughts about something and the thing itself...they have mistaken the descriptor for reality.
Truth has names.
The names are words that mean different things at different times and in different places.
The truth is objective hidden behind the subjective. It can only be known through the subjective.
The truth is congruence like a finger pointing you to where you were looking for, after you asked for directions.
The truth is alive but doesn't change. like a candlelight in the dark, it is there for those who are not ashamed.

"What wisdom is there to living in solitude?"
"You live in the mountains for a few years and you go down and ride the bus and you ask yourself... what are you struggling for?"
Watching a documentary on #Chan #Buddhism and thought to myself "acceptance is a lot like giving up, it's not nihilistic lack of hope though but a kind of fellowship that never betrays you." I think it is a fellowship with god for most and finding peace with there own nature for some. Broken hearts are beautiful...
Good bad Buddhist movie.

Fifth-Patriarch Mountain said: “It’s like a water buffalo passing your window. Nose, horns, four hooves: they all lumber slowly by. But then, how is it the tail never goes past?”

This week we will sit with and explore Genjokoan, from the Treasury of the True Dharma Eye:
"To study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to become one with the ten thousand things."
