“To me, the definition of hell is simple: it is a place where there is no understanding and no compassion. We have all been there. We are acquainted with hell’s heat, and we know that hell is in need of compassion. If there is compassion, then hell ceases to be hell. You can generate this compassion yourself. If you can bring a little compassion to this place, a little bit of understanding, it ceases to be hell. Hell is here, all around us. Your practice consists in generating compassion and understanding and transforming the suffering around us.”

My theory is that money spent on books and music is never wasted.

Spent the night gazing at the Super Flower Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse with my family from our friend’s 7th floor balcony. I tried to get a photo a few times but none really came out or captured the magic. Decided I didn’t need one. The memory of the experience was enough.
