A balanced state of mind depends on the way you pour a cup of tea ~ Chogyam Trungpa

Today is 4/20. While pot use is finding new acceptance across America, this Buddhist explains why they kicked it to the curb. buff.ly/2HP6bCq

"Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one’s own acts, done and undone." The Buddha had a very nice way of saying stay in your own lane, mind your own business and stop being so judgey.

Buddhism is about seeing reality for what it is. No one, not even the Buddha, can tell you. You must experience it for yourself. “Be a light unto yourself; betake yourselves to no external refuge. Hold fast to the Truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.”
