Is the Buddha available in decaf?

Not if you want to wake up.
“Observing samaya involves to remain inseparable from the union of wisdom and compassion at all times, to sustain mindfulness, and to put into practice the guru’s instructions”. Garchen Rinpoche

For those who do virtuous actions,
goodness is what comes to pass.
For those who do non-virtuous actions,
that becomes suffering indeed.

Difficult to choose. I thought i would choose Buddha without hesitation. Maybe i am still too confused for my own liking.

I am awake enough, if my Buddha is caffeinated then it just makes me hyperactive and overly excitable.

At some you will have overcome this obstacle to omnipotence.

We already, all of us, have Buddha..that's permanent. Coffee on the other hand is impermanent. I choose coffee!

Coffee is emptiness. Emptiness is coffee.

This is the best thread here for weeks. Clearly we all need more coffee. But who doesn’t?
