What are you running for? What is your destination? Why this hurry, my friend, are you lost? People are, in fact, in a continuous pain that you can actually realize it, if you know where to look for the human soul.

A Mind Full of Nada
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. Today, I did not seek the light of truth or right way of living in Buddha’s teachings nor questioned the capitalist understanding of meditation.

Becoming A Tornado
Here I am, sitting in my studying+dining+resting chair, thinking about the dream I had tonight. In this universe of my imagination, a tornado was coming into town.

I think they know more than we do, or they are like us, most of them, the ones we can see and touch, the ones that are convenient becauseContinue reading “What is to being”
The Strange Uncharted Being
“The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it.
