“When you are willing to throw yourself completely into your everyday life, moment by moment, you are taking refuge in buddha, dharma, and sangha.”

“One day a monk came to me and confessed that she was confused and discouraged, and had lots of fixed views and ideas about things. She was feeling lost in a swirl of delusions. I asked her what her practice was in that situation. She answered, “To love everything.” I asked, “Do you love even the confusion, discouragement, and fixed views?” She replied, “I don’t run away from them.” Loving confusion and discouragement does not mean that you like them, that you think that they’re good, or that you indulge in them. It’s more like you sit still—not by your own power and not by the power of another. You just stay with it.”

“Sentient beings are numberless, I vow to save them.
Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to end them.
Dharma gates are boundless, I vow to enter them.
Buddha’s way is unsurpassable, I vow to become it.”
