Re: Pristine Pure Land Buddhism
Earth is both heaven and hell, it depends on the mind with which one views it.
Therefore it is best to remain lighthearted, for all the things that weigh you down
Are constructed of opinions.
A Palestinian refugee camp, a dead child — viewed with equanimity are as
Light as a feather. A beautiful garden filled with flowers and buzzing insects
Is a truer reflection of the Pure Land.

The mist didn't lift until mid-afternoon...
I remember growing up in London when the smog was so thick you could only see around a metre or two in front of you...

Re: No Buddhist Quotes
“Take a coin. It has a head side, and a tails side. They are different, yet part of the same whole. Or take buying and selling. They are different processes, yet you cannot buy unless someone else sells. This is known as Advaita, nonduality, expressing the unity of things.”
— Alan Watts
