“ Kind speech means that when you see sentient beings, you arouse the heart of compassion and offer words of loving care. It is contrary to cruel or violent speech.
(…)
Know that kind speech arises from kind heart, and kind heart from the seed of compassionate heart. Ponder the fact that kind speech is not just praising the merit of others; it has the power to turn the destiny of the nation.”

— Dogen

“ Falar amávelmente significa que, quando vemos seres sencientes, despertamos o coração da compaixão e oferecemos palavras de carinho amoroso. É o oposto de palavras cruéis ou violentas.
(…)
Sabe que falar amávelmente surge de um coração gentil, e um coração gentil surge da semente de um coração compassivo. Pondera o facto de que falar amávelmente não é apenas elogios aos méritos dos outros; e que tem o poder de mudar o destino da nação.”
— Dogen

Morning ZAZEN on Sunday 13 of July

Ānāpānasati Sutta drawing

“When the practitioner breathes in or out a long or a short breath, aware of his breath or his whole body, or aware that he is making his whole body calm and at peace — he abides peacefully in the observation of the body in the body, persevering, fully awake, clearly understanding his state, gone beyond all attachment and aversion to this life.”
Translated by Thich Nhat Hanh from Ānāpānasati Sutta
