Re: No Buddhist Quotes
“Memory has no objective existence. It is not existential, it is purely psychological. If you retain your ability to respond, your memory of the past becomes an empowering process. But if you are in a compulsive cycle of reactivity, memory distorts your perception of the present, and your thoughts, emotions and actions become disproportionate to the stimulus.”

Re: Renouncing: is it a good thing?
Is renouncing a good thing?
Well, for me, leading to my best phase, willingly and joyfully renouncing quite a few gross impurities was definitely a good thing. That naturally led to the adoption of quite a few positive habits/activities/identities.
I think the willingness is the key here since then one interprets the renounciation of an impurity as something to be desired/positive/kewl and, in my case, even as a minor miracle.
