"When we practise #metta we begin to be willing to learn from termites and ants, from people who are slow, from the old, sick and dying. … This is the direction we must take to create a really #humane and good #society. ... #Wisdom arises when we begin to accept all the different ‘beings’ both within ourselves and outside ... We can allow ourselves to #flow with life.”

Making Friends with the Cement Mixer,
by Ajahn Sumedho

"So the real suffering is not the sound of the pneumatic drill and the cement mixer, but the stuff you create in your own mind..."

Notes from a Buddhist meditation retreat – Buddhism now

“The #pain in … ordinary life is enough to urge you towards #enlightenment. We can regard all these feelings of hunger or thirst, of restlessness, jealousy or fear, of lust and greed and sleepiness, as teachers. Rather than resenting them and saying, ‘What did I do to deserve this?’ … [instead] say: ‘Thank you … I’ll have to learn this lesson some day; I might as well do it now, rather than put it off.”
