Some say that suffering is only an illusion or that to live wisely we have to “transcend” both suffering and joy. I say the opposite. The way to suffer well and be happy is to stay in touch with what is actually going on; in doing so, you will gain liberating insights into the true nature of suffering and of joy.

Concentration means keeping the mind firmly centered in a single object—the direct path (ekāyana-magga)—not letting it tip, lean, or waver under the influence of its preoccupations, whether good or bad, past or future; keeping the mind honest and upright.

The plot of Pluribus reminds me of the pop-dharma thought experiment, “Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you.”
This appears to have originated in Jack Kornfield’s 1994 book “Buddha’s Little Instruction Book.” Later, Richard Carlson’s 1997 book “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff… and It’s All Small Stuff” had a chapter literally titled “Imagine that Everyone Is Enlightened Except You.” It’s often misquoted as an actual Buddha/Atisha line.

✨ There is no truth to seek or to confirm logically; rather what one needs to do is to discover just how much the mind continually limits itself in a condition of dualism. — Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche (1938–2018) ✨
