Words of Wisdom 19 (Jan 19 - Jun 19)

[winston]

Once you know how the poisons [of craving, aversion, and delusion] feel, you can recognize their absence through sensations rather than thinking abstractly about whether they are there or not.

From there you can find a sweet spot, free from the poisons—a moment of awakening worthy of being savored.

—Hai An, “Inviting in the Wonder of Spring”

[winston]

If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.

Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.

1 Peter 3:10-11

[winston]

It is only when accustomed routines are infused by vision that they become springboards to discovery rather than deadening ruts.

— Bhikkhu Bodhi, “Vision and Routine”

[winston]

"Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in."
