Our lens on the world: the six sense doors

The doors of perception and reaction

I will teach you ‘the all’… And what … is ‘the all’? The eye and forms, the ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and tastes, the body and tangibles, the mind and mind-objects. This … is called ‘the all’

Gotama (The Buddha)

In the seen will be merely the seen; in the heard will be merely the heard; in the thought will be merely the thought; in the known will be merely the known.

Practice 65 – Forgiveness: an essential practice

How do we love our enemies?
First, we must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.

Martin Luther King, Jr

There are those who do not realise that one day we all must die.
But those who do realise this settle their quarrels.”

Gotama

This chapter is a work-in-progress that we hope to publish later in the year. In the meantime, we thought that you might be interested in an audio ‘deep dive’ into forgiveness.
