indifference

the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
the opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
the opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
-elie wiesel, oct. 1986

passion overwhelms the mind

as rain penetrates an improperly shingled roof, so passion overwhelms a confused mind.
-buddha

who is buddha?

buddha is no longer buddha when you enclose him in your mind - buddha becomes only your mind's discriminative notion.
