I would like to respectfully remind you: life and death are of supreme importance.

"Thich Nhat Hanh has established a tradition, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, of offering the sangha a simple poetic couplet in calligraphy that can inspire and nurture our mindfulness practice throughout the year."

"The bad things, don't do them.
The good things, try to do them.
Try to purify, subdue your own mind.
That is the teaching of all buddhas." - #ThichNhatHanh

Recently, I’ve been contemplating this #gatha (short #Buddhist poem) every morning (Samu gatha from Upaya Zen Center, edited by me):

“May today’s activity and work be done in a spirit of generosity—
Not driven by ego, greed, or delusion.
May kindness sustain me and prevail in conflict.
May compassion guide me and lead me to understanding.
May I rejoice in the successes of others, and be inspired by their work.
May I remain unmoved by praise or blame and remember my core values and vows.”

"Washing the dishes
is like bathing a baby Buddha.
The profane is the sacred.
Everyday mind is Buddha’s mind." - #ThichNhatHanh
