David Loy pidas neljatunnise loenguõhtu teemal
"Toward a New Paradigm: A Buddhist Perspective on (Post)Modern Humanity & Society".
"We experience ourselves in what we do."
"The sense of self that we gain from learning socially from others is a construct - physical, psychological and social."
"If world is a construct, if I am a construct, it is also deconstructable. And reconstructable."
"Because of the fact that a sense of self is a process, there's nothing substantial, there's nothing real."
"Our sense of self is always shadowed or haunted by the feel of lack. It's a problem we usually never solve."
"Why is it so hard to give up addictions? - Because addictions are how we deny the sense of lack."
"Awakening is always an accident, meditation makes you prone to it."

When I look inside & see that I am nothing,
that's wisdom.
When I look outside & see that I am everything,
that's love
Between these two my world turns.
- Nisargodatta
2 kommentaari:
Mind is the darkness of the soul, it is the night of the soul. But you believe in this mind so much, and it has not given you anything except promises. It gives you promises, it is wonderful in that - it goes on promising.
-Osho
“When the heart speaks, the mind finds it indecent to object.”
-Milan Kundera
