The stable world we perceive is an illusion created by a continuous stream of these momentary phenomena. The storylines we build around that are likewise momentary phenomena. But we integrate them to our identity and perpetuate suffering.

A monk asked Jianfeng, "The blessed ones of the ten directions are on one road, the gate to Nirvana -- where is that road?" Jianfeng drew a line in the air with his staff and said: "It is here."

The wheel of causality turns,
Likewise mind turns with it, creating karma --
Can you see that it's fundamentally empty?
Can the storylines come to you to die?

Creating your own holiday traditions is so important! For instance, every Christmas my husband and I watch the entire extended edition of the LOTR trilogy, which is great because they’re amazing films, but also because it’s 12 hours of stfu for the whole family. Follow me for more holiday tips.
