Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: In Buddhism, we say it takes a strong back and a soft front. It takes tremendous strength of the back to uphold yourself in the midst of conditions. And that is the mental quality of equanimity. But it also takes a soft front—the capacity to really be open to the world as it is, to have an undefended heart. — Roshi Joan Halifax

Buddhist Quote for Today: A world without empathy is a world that is dead to others—and if we are dead to others, we are dead to ourselves. The sharing of another’s pain can take us past the narrow canyon of selfish disregard and even cruelty into the larger, more expansive landscape of wisdom and compassion. — Roshi Joan Halifax See more: buddhistdoor.net

One neighbour’s smoke is my incense.
Another neighbour’s clumsiness is my bell.
On the cushion and off the cushion, practice is not so different.
