"Peace is softening what is rigid in our hearts. We can talk about ending war and we can march for ending war. We can do everything in our power, but war is never going to end as long as our hearts are hardened against each other." #PemaChodron #MakePeace

It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy."

"We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again.

We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder and more open to what scares us. We always have this choice.

One can appreciate & celebrate each moment — there’s nothing more sacred. There’s nothing more vast or absolute. In fact, there’s nothing more!

"The basic point of the practices is…
…just learn to be extremely honest and also wholehearted about what exists in your mine— thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, the whole thing that adds up to what we call “me” or “I”." -- #PemaChodron

"The basic creative energy of life — life force — bubbles up and courses through all of existence. It can be experienced as open, free, unburdened, full of possibility, energizing. Or this very same energy can be experienced as petty, narrow, stuck, caught."

"For a fully enlightened being, the difference between what is neurosis and what is wisdom is very hard to perceive, because somehow the energy underlying both of them is the same." -- #PemaChodron

Pema Chödrön reminds us we are all navigating uncertainty, tenderness, and change together. Compassion isn’t extra; it’s essential. It’s how we heal ourselves and how we help heal the world.

So, along with clear seeing, there's another important element, and that's kindness. It seems that, without clarity and honesty, we don't progress. We just stay stuck in the same vicious cycle. But honesty without kindness makes us feel grim and mean, and pretty soon we start looking like we've been sucking on lemons. We become so caught up in introspection that we lose any contentment or gratitude we might have had. The sense of being irritated by ourselves and our lives and other people's idiosyncrasies becomes overwhelming. That's why there's so much emphasis on kindness.

I opened up Pema Chodron's 'When Things Fall Apart' to this passage, something I struggle with and need to bear in mind. #PemaChodron #kindness

A vertical, contemplative photograph taken at dawn at the Seabright Beach coastal area. In the foreground, tall, thin stalks of marsh grass rise from the bottom of the frame, their textures sharp and detailed against the soft water. The middle ground is a vast, tranquil expanse of silver-gray water that reflects the pale, atmospheric light of the morning. A single seagull is captured in the upper third of the frame, wings spread in a graceful silhouette as it flies across a narrow band of peach and soft orange sky. The composition uses the foreground grass to provide a sense of place and depth, while the minimalist sky and water emphasize a Buddhist sense of peace and the quiet beginning of a new day.

—Pema Chödron

On some days, it’s all beauty and it doesn’t matter where I frame the shot. The essence seems to just leap into the lens.

War and peace start in the human heart. Whether that heart is open or whether that heart closes has global implications (and) as long as we justify our own hard-heartedness and our own self-righteousness, joy and peace will always elude us.

“Every day we could think about the aggression in the world... everybody always 
strikes out at the enemy, and the pain escalates forever... we could reflect on this and ask ourselves, "Am I going to add to the aggression in the world?" Every day... we can ask
ourselves, "Am I going to practice peace, or am I going to war?" — Pema Chodron

Pema Chödrön Quotes❓ If we are willing to stand fully in our own shoes and never give up on ourselves, then we will be able to put ourselves in the shoes of others and never give up on them.

Zen wisdom.
