Temple of Warm Harmony Quotes

“I used to keep a strong scaffolding in place.
It separated Pure Land from Zen
Zen from Dao
Dharma quarantined from the
way of mountain spirits.

With a sudden glance
in the middle of a storm,
the bottom dropped out
the scaffolding fell
along with my mind
and all of these nectars
poured into the same vat.”

is not mere mental projection.
You are, in fact, being met.

Body connecting to Earth

are extending outward to embrace you.”

“Space-time is an illusion.
So is the notion of finite bodies.
It's why, whenever I see you, I ask:
'How's your world?'...
...because I know
we carry infinite worlds inside of us
and in one of them, a great spinning star-flung song is trying to wake us up again
to the Great Alliance that binds us.”

“The doorway to the Dao is at the end of your toes. Step through.”
