Nirvana Is Here
“We do not see that our life right here, right now, is nirvana. Maybe we think that nirvana is a place where there are no problems, no more delusions. Maybe we think nirvana is something very beautiful, something unattainable. We always think nirvana is something very different from our own life.”
- Taezan Maezumi, Appreciate Your Life

May I Find You, O God, Everywhere
You are above me, O God,
you are within.
You are in all things
yet contained by no thing.
Teach me to seek you in all that has life
that I may see you as the Light of life.
Teach me to search for you in my own depths
that I may find you in every living soul.
- John Philip Newell, Sounds of the Eternal: A Celtic Psalter
