Brad Warner Quotes

The Lack Of Fulfillment We Feel Is Natural And Normal. That's True Enlightenment. It's When We Feel Fulfilled That We're Deluded.
By Doing Zazen Practice, We Gradually Begin To Loosen Our Grip On The Idea That We Ought To Be Fulfilled. We Begin To See That Our Normal Condition Of Feeling That Something Is Missing In Our Lives Is Not Really Such A Terrible Thing. It's Just A Feeling. No More And No Less. We No Longer Desperately Seek To Shove Something Into That Void. We Can Just Let It Be Just As It Is And Accept That It's All Right ...
If We Can Accept This Lack Of Fulfillment As Our Natural Condition, We Can Be Totally Free. We Can Accept Good And Bad Equally. We Can Accept Loneliness, And We Can Accept Love. We No Longer Feel That Things Ought To Be Different From How They Actually Are. At The Same Time We Do Not Complacently Accept Things That Actually Do Need To Be Changed. We Can Understand That It Is Often Our Duty To Change A Situation.
