P. 10
So great news! We don't have to take things so personally
because so much isn't our fault; however, this doesn't mean it's
not our responsibility.
When you start to see how you aren’t a solid, unchanging self,
but an impermanent, dynamic person, you also loosen your
clinging to thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and the idea of a “solid
you”. Your interaction in the world can also become more fluid,
dynamic, and responsive rather than reactive and clingy.
Beloved one
You are not something that has been created.
You did not come into the realm of being from non-being.
You are a wonderful manifestation like a pink cloud on the top of a
mountain or a mysterious moonlit night.
You are a flowing stream, the continuation of so many wonders
You are not a separate self.
You are yourself but you are also me
You cannot take the pink cloud out of my fragrant tea this morning
And I cannot drink my tea without drinking my cloud
I am in you and you are in me.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
“This is not mine. This is not my self. This is not what I am.”
- Buddha
