Morning meditation — A teaching stripped of depth may become a mere fashion.
‘A teaching stripped of depth may become a mere fashion, a temporary adornment rather than a transformative force. While these applications are not without merit, they fall short of the practice’s true purpose: liberation from Dukkha.’ Everyday Buddhism

To experience the Buddha directly is to be fully present with what is, without clinging or resistance. It is to engage with the moment, each thought, each feeling, as an expression of the Dharma.
Sleep tight 🙏 night night.

The danger of caricaturing bad people as monsters isn't because it's "too mean" or "uncivil", it's because naive idiots get confused when they finally meet the villains in person and find they don't literally drool or cackle, and go "gosh guys I met them and they're just human, maybe we were wrong"
