A Gift of Dharma for 1.26.11
Today’s quote is another from the much-beloved Acharya Ani Pema Chödrön, whom I first quoted and wrote a little biography for in this post. This is it:
[Holding a grudge is] rather like eating rat poison and thinking the rat will die.

Shuun Lou Hartman (1915-2011)
(L-R) Lou and Blanche Hartman.
Shuun Lou Hartman, “Zen priest-poet, husband, father, seaman, cook, radio writer, as well as chief candle-cleaner and New York Times-dispenser at the Zen temple, Page Street, San Francisco,” and also husband of former San Francisco Zen Center abbot Zenkei Blanche Hartman, has died. Our friend Rev. James Ishmael Ford (Zeno Myoun, Roshi), whom I’ve interviewed for this blog and Shambhala SunSpace, has more about Harman’s passing at his blog Monkey Mind.

A Gift of Dharma for 1.25.11
Today’s quote comes from His Holiness Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910-1991), whom I previously quoted and wrote a short biography for in the very first “A Gift of Dharma” post. This is it — from the Dilgo Khyentse Fellowship – Shechen Facebook page:
To bring about a true change in your attitudes is hard at first. But if you understand the meaning behind this mind training, and keep on trying to apply it, you will find that it helps you in every difficult situation, just as a well-designed vehicle can travel any distance quickly with ease.
