Robert Burns and Anicca, William Blake and Anatta

''But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white—then melts for ever;''

-- Robert Burns


To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

-- William Blake - Auguries of Innocence

A life free from inner suffering is possible.
Not because everything or everyone turns out the way we want,
but because we recognise a simple truth:
nothing and no one can be exactly as we wish all the time.

All things are uncertain, impermanent, and without self.
So, they cannot be clung to or held fast.

Whenever we loosen our attachment to these things,
whatever happens,
our heart is no longer burdened with suffering.

— Phra Paisal Visalo

Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder, but

It's what our own mind adds to it.

April is an important month on my calendar. A best time to visit my teacher and his Sangha.
