Mumonkan, or The Gateless Gate, is a collection of Zen Koans that serve as tools for awakening beyond conceptual thought. Each Koan is a riddle or paradox that cannot be solved through logic, pushing the practitioner to leap beyond the thinking Mind. #Buddha #Buddhism #Zen

In Buddhism, Shunyata (Emptiness) doesn’t mean nothing exists. Emptiness means nothing exists independently on its own. Everything is connected. Things and Phenomenon are Empty of their own independent existence. 🙏 #Buddhism #Buddha #Mindfulness #Emptiness #Meditation

The Bodhisattva Vow ☸️ In Mahayana Buddhist tradition, the Bodhisattvas don’t seek Nirvana for themselves alone. They vow to return again and again until all beings are freed from suffering. Compassion is a lifelong path. 🙏🙏 #Buddhism #Buddha #Bodhisattva #MindfulLiving #Mindfulness #meditation

I fear that harm reduction as a sociopolitical ethos is cooked if we can’t sort out intersectionality. For years I’ve added comments like “it’s awesome but it’s very white, which we need to collectively sort out” to my explanations. I should’ve pushed harder and yelled louder the moment I saw it.

Oxford UP is now offering pre-orders for my book on Fazang's metaphysics. It's due for release in May 2025. Because the book contains nearly two decades of my thinking about Fazang, a thread (if I can figure out how to do a thread!). #philsky

Today I celebrated the birthday of Guanyin. I cleaned the garden shrine & statue & placed my small altar platform; showered, brushed my teeth, & put on my lay robe. After opening prayers, I chanted the Heart Sutra & read the Universal Door Chapter, then said closing prayers. Happy day, Guanyin Pusa!
