so maybe life isn't like chess,
or maybe you don't have to sacrifice anything to 'win' (whatever that means) at life.

The Bodhisattva's Vows
Sentient beings are numberless,
I vow to save them;
Deluding passions are endless,
I vow to destroy them;
Dharma gates are manifold,
I vow to enter them;
The Buddha Way is supreme,
I vow to master it.
believe
ı just add a word.

Invisible and inevitable, like a butterfly that beats its wings in one corner of the globe and with that single action changes the weather halfway across the world.

Youth is like a summer flower—
Suddenly it fades away.
Old age is like a fire spreading.
Through the fields—
suddenly 'tis at your heels.

Re: Words
Bodhidharma starts with:
Many roads lead to the Path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.
1-study
understand empty (mind)
2-practice
since, the teaching is empty,
you have no chance but put it into practice; in dailylife.
by simply taking care of your daily life.
now, my words come;
Since the practice is empty you have no chance but to take care of your work. (now)
