The great illusion is the busyness we create throughout the holiday season. We rush, shop, speed and in the process become human 'doings' instead of human 'beings.' We do not need to be busy. Our work can be calm and peaceful. Our holidays restful.
"When you have learned, through discipline, to simplify your life, and so practiced the mindfulness of meditation, and through it loosened the hold of aggression, clinging, and negativity on your whole being, the wisdom of insight can slowly dawn. And in the all-revealing clarity of its sunlight, this insight can show you, distinctly and directly, both the subtlest workings of your own mind and the nature of reality." -Rigpa
Lovely day at Sunshine. Nice shot of snow flying off Assiniboine! The view from the summit is great!
