What If



What if our religion was each other
If our practice was our life
If prayer, our words
What if the temple was the Earth
If forests were our church
If holy water--the rivers, lakes, and ocean
What if meditation was our relationships
If the teacher was life
If wisdom was self-knowledge
If love was the center of our being.

~ Ganga White

Your vision will become clear


Your vision will become clear only
when you look into your heart.

Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens.

~ C.G. Jung

If beings knew as I know



If beings knew as I know,
the results of giving and sharing,
they would not eat without having given...
even if it were their last bite,
their last mouthful, they would not eat
without having shared,
if there were someone to receive their gift.


~ The Buddha

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.
