Free your heart

Free your heart. Travel like the moon among the stars. ~ Buddha

Mature Spirituality is not based on seeking perfection, on achieving some imaginary sense of purity. It is based on the capacity to let go and to love. To open the heart to all that is. Without ideals heart can turn the sufferings and imperfections we encounter into the path of compassion. In this nonrealistic practice the divine can shine through even in acts of ignorance and fear, inviting us to wonder at the mystery of all that is. We can protect one another, yet in this there is no judgement, no blame. For we seek not to perfect the world perfect our love for what is on this earth. ― Jack Kornfield

One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.
