No they are not. No it is not. I forgot what I was going to say next 🤯

I thought it was Schopenhauer who was said to have found the #dhamma.
Is it a problem that I get my Western philosophy education in sound bites from a micro-blogging platform? 🤷
"First, one puts an end to what is not meritorious.
In the middle, one puts an end to identity.
Later, one puts an end to all views.
Those who understand this are skilled."

"The universe in its own unique way, was slapping me silly and asking me to stop. And just try and be happy with what I have. Not find happiness with what I can have next. After all, in the end, it is about knowing what I am seeking really.
"The pattern repeats. Objects are what change.
"Things that somehow add up and pile up. Another new pen. Another new nib, new notebook. It’s all a distraction. Things that seem to bring happiness, but in the end are nothing but distractions from life and the emptiness of it." — Om Malik
So true.
True emptiness is like a translucent sea
where the faintest movement makes foam
as soon as we have a body
we worry about food and clothes with feelings racing past like horses and delusions as restless as monkeys
until we understand the Master of Emptiness
the Wheel of Rebirth rolls on
— Stonehouse
from "The Mountain Poems of Stonehouse" - Red Pine (tr.)
