"All results come from causes that have the ability to create them. If we plant apple seeds, an apple tree will grow, not chili. If chili seeds are planted, chili will grow, not apples." - Venerable Thubten Chodron @ThubtenChodron

In Pali, an ancient language rooted in Sanskrit, the word 'dukkha' emerges with deep meaning. It describes a wheel thrown out of alignment, unstable and off-center. Picture a wheel, once functional, now wobbling and unsteady, as if it’s diseased. Traditionally, 'dukkha' translates to 'suffering' in Buddhism, but this misses the depth of the original term. Dukkha speaks to a deeper state of disjointedness and internal disharmony. It’s a call to recognize the imbalance within and seek a path toward healing. With Ruben L. F.

"Meditation is not merely a useful technique or mental gymnastic, but part of a balanced system designed to change the way we go about things at the most fundamental level." - @judylief

Reality, as we see it, is crafted by our own minds. Before any dream becomes real, it has to take shape in our imagination. The conveniences we enjoy today began as ideas in someone’s mind. In this sense, our minds become the architects of everything we know. Buddhism suggests an even deeper idea — that all we experience is filtered through our own perception. This makes perception the lens through which we create and interpret life.

"In those situations we think are intolerable, it is often our own resistance that makes them intolerable." - The Editors

In our pursuit of perfection, we often miss the beauty in simply being. Each of us embodies kindness, compassion, love, and generosity in our own way. Within, we hold the Prajnaparamitas, an innate understanding of reality. Our essence itself is a source of healing. But when we lose sight of who we are, that healing power fades. And in that disconnection, suffering quietly finds its way in.

"Intense times call for intense practice. But intensity does not mean straining or pushing; rather, it is a willingness to begin fresh." - Bonnie Myotai Treace

Human experience offers a limited range of bodily sensations. Fear and exhilaration, for example, often blur together, underscoring the role curiosity plays in understanding our reactions. For anyone who finds their body an unfamiliar or even daunting place, external support can be transformative. When moments of joy arise, consider taking a pause to sense if something resonates within you, stirring in your awareness. This practice helps build a sense of familiarity and trust with your own body. Instead of watching from a distance, we can learn to inhabit our bodies with genuine presence.

Notice the contradiction, the delusion, here: we use, and even create, separation from one thing or person to overcome separation from another! - Roshi Nancy Mujo Baker Clear Faith Clear faith blooms when we recognize in another the possibility of living a free, happy, peaceful life, and this recognition compels us to look for a way to get there ourselves. - Vanessa Zuisei Goddard Start your morning off on a positive note with a quick hit of Buddhist wisdom - Subscribe to our free newsletter "Daily Dharma."
