Nature Isn't 'Out There' - Terry Real on Tim Ferriss

#interdependence #relationships #nature #control

Why in Nature?

Because #Nature is unfiltered #Dharma. Trees do not pretend. Water does not compare itself to stone. Wind does not ask for approval. Practising in #Nature allows a direct encounter with #impermanence, #interdependence, & raw presence. No teachings need to be spoken. The river flows. The mountain stands. That is #Zen.

Happy #Vesak and #MothersDay !
We invite you to take advantage of the double holiday to reflect not only upon the gifts you have received from your own #mothers and from the #Buddha 's teachings, but also upon the two women who were maternal figures to the Bodhisatta Gotama: his birth mother Māyādevī and his aunt and #foster mother Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī (who also became the first #nun ).
