“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”
Carl Jung
The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.

Via StokedThinking and talking about practice are easy substitutes for the real effort that a practice life requires. We resist facing life as it is because that would mean abandoning our views of how we think it should be. The most basic form of resistance is wanting life to be other than it is.

Warning: This post has swears, and I don’t know why I am typing this warning because the URL clearly has the word fuck in it. And besides, it’s tumblr and people swear all the time around here. Just in case you’re not ready, this is where I unleash it full blast.
One of the reasons why I started…
The Old Town of Lijiang in the Yunnan province. It’s such a well-preserved historic town that it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Four Beauties of Ancient China
‘The Four Beauties….are four ancient Chinese women, renowned for their beauty. The scarcity of historical records concerning them meant that much of what is known of them today has been greatly embellished by legend. They gained their reputation from the influence they exercised over kings and emperors and consequently, the way their actions impacted Chinese history. Three of the Four Great Beauties brought kingdoms to their knees, and the lives of all four ended in tragedy or under mysterious circumstances.’
