“The fleeting pleasures of this world are like the canopies of clouds that appear one moment in the sky and are gone the next. People immerse themselves in these enjoyments, claiming that they are necessary for their livelihood and indispensable for their survival. And yet the life of humankind is no more than a flash of lightning”— KANGYUR RINPOCHE (1897-1975) The Treasury of Precious Qualities

whether it’s pornography, politics, celebrity worship, fiction, fandom, a specific community, etc. you have to recognize when the online experience you’ve built for yourself is fucking with your head. you have to be able to decide whether you like the person you’re turning yourself into.
All phenomena are projections of the mind. Mind is not “a” mind; the mind is empty in essence. Although empty, everything constantly arises in it. Through the deepest examination of the mind may we find its innermost root.

“Obstacles can arise from good as well as bad circumstances, but they should never deter or overpower you. Be like the earth, which supports all living creatures indiscriminately, without distinguishing good from bad. The earth is simply there. Your practice should be strengthened by the difficult situations you encounter, just as a bonfire in a strong wind is not blown out, but blazes even brighter.”—
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

The more Buddhism you have practiced, the more modest you should be; the more you know, the less arrogant you should be; with greater knowledge, you should show increased humbleness. For example, you should treat people equally and respectfully even when you talk to a beggar.

“Meditation is the journey from sound to silence, from movement to stillness, from a limited identity to unlimited space.”— SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR
