Important Note On a Sunday

Think about it.

We can do this.

Quote of the Day -- On Age, Selfishness and Love

"...as we get older, we come to see how useless it is to be selfish – how illogical, really. We come to love other people and are thereby counter-instructed in our own centrality. We get our butts kicked by real life, and people come to our defense, and help us, and we learn that we’re not separate, and don’t want to be. We see people near and dear to us dropping away, and are gradually convinced that maybe we too will drop away (someday, a long time from now). Most people, as they age, become less selfish and more loving. I think this is true. The great Syracuse poet, Hayden Carruth, said, in a poem written near the end of his life, that he was 'mostly Love, now.'” 

--George Saunders, from his presentation, "Advice to Graduates", 2013

Quote of the Day -- Sunday Edition

"Teach this triple truth to all: 

A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity."

--Buddha

Quote of the Day -- On Religion

“Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and spiritual; and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.

If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism."

--Albert Einstein
