Woman Awake Quotes

“Our lives are enriched by generosity, forgiveness, and magnanimity. It is only when the cultivation of these virtues is motivated by the dream of salvation by someone else that these virtues become problematic.”
― Christina Feldman, Woman Awake: Women Practicing Buddhism

“The path to the goal is portrayed in our fairy tales. We hear the ceaseless messages of the necessity of us being endlessly giving, beautiful, and selfless if we wish to find the fulfillment of our dreams, salvation. We learn through the absorption of our myths that desirability is synonymous with worthiness and goodness synonymous with acceptability.”
