If there is a God, it is inconceivable that he would be concerned about my day to day affairs.

And more importantly - what we have chosen to do

Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.

Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.

Being able to make friends and keep them, welcoming others and sharing with them, a guide, philosopher and friend. One like this will be praised.

The gift of truth excels all other gifts.

Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.
