A friend sent me this quote from Tricycle.
“Dharma is not about credentials. It?s not about how many practices you?ve done, or how peaceful you can make your mind. It?s not about being in a community where you feel safe or enjoying the cachet of being a ‘Buddhist.’ It?s not even about accumulating teachings, empowerments, or ‘spiritual accomplishments.’ It?s about how naked you?re willing to be with your own life, and how much you?re willing to let go of your masks and your armor and live as a completely exposed, undefended, and open human person”. ?Reginald Ray
I don’t have a bunch of commentary here. It was just so beautiful I wanted to share it.
