To be a buddha— to wake up— also means
to wake up to the suffering in the world
and find ways to bring relief and transformation.
This requires a tremendous source of energy.
Your strong aspiration— your mind of love—
is that immense source of energy that helps wake you up
to the nourishing and healing beauties of nature
and to the suffering of the world.
It gives you a lot of energy to help.
This is the career of a buddha.
And if you have that source of strength in you,
if you have the mind of love, you are a buddha in action.

“Zenfully Quool Quotes”…
Currently featuring “The Art of Living”
By Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh
My aim is to present
a deeper, higher, wider, non-theological perspective
into common sense Spirituality
that most of us folks raised in the ‘west’ never get introduced to,
to fulfill life’s most intriguing questions…
Please note that:
one does have to be a ‘card carrying Buddhist’.
Even though I write extensively about Buddhism…
I don’t consider myself to be… just a Buddhist.
I find it’s best to combine all
Non-theological common sense spiritual practices
that point towards helpful solutions to life’s challenges,
While answering the most profound philosophical questions…
What is the True Nature of my Being.
What is my place in this life and the ‘Timeless wonder of it all’.
And
How to creatively fulfill my full potential.
