If light is in your heart, you will always find your way home. - Rumi
"Buddha did not have a home when he was a young person. Although he was born as a prince and had a great deal of material comfort; although he knew that he will be a king, he did not feel at home. He was unhappy. He left the palace in order to find a home, a true home.
Jesus Christ was born a refugee. He was also trying to find his home. In the Gospel Jesus said, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head” (Luke 9:58). He did not have a home. But both the Buddha and Christ practised, and found their true home.
You are their continuation. You are the continuation of the Buddha. You are the continuation of Jesus Christ. You have to follow their teachings and practise in order to find a true home. Have I got a true home? A true home is a place where you feel comfortable and at ease. You don’t want to go anywhere else anymore. You feel so at home, so at ease." - Thich Nhat Hanh
“The art of life is to stay wide open and be vulnerable, and yet at the same time to sit with the mystery and the awe and with the unbearable pain - to just be with it all...” ~ Ram Dass
We can't push away the world. We have to enter into life fully in order to become free. - Ram Dass
