I've been thinking about how #Linux and other #opensourcesoftware help me cultivate #gratitude.

With a Mac, I remember often getting annoyed, expecting it to work perfectly because it cost so much money.

With Linux I'm genuinely joyful every time I close the laptop and it successfully goes to sleep!

Thinking about this in terms of a #meditation where you reflect on the chain of people who contributed to something you enjoy or need, sending them blessings. Thanks volunteers!

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Now that you have this unique opportunity, free and well-favored,
Use it, I beg you, to practice Dharma for the benefit of future lives.
Human life is like the sun shining between the clouds:
It can be gone in a moment, with nothing accomplished.
And regret at the moment of death will be to no avail.
So practice straightaway with diligent enthusiasm. — Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thayé (1813–1899)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

It doesn’t matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn’t matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or 10,000 years—we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on. — Sharon Salzberg

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Seung Sahn (1927–2004)

When you are able to stay perfectly clear by cutting off all thinking and yet not falling into a trance-like sleep, this is sitting. When inside and outside become one, and no circumstances can hinder you, this is Zen. — Seung Sahn (1927–2004)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

The practice of looking into the nature of the mind is called “insight meditation”. In order to practise insight meditation, we first need to develop a steady mind, a mind free from conceptual thought. We do this through the cultivation of single-pointed concentration, whereby the mind can become stable and devoid of thoughts, thus allowing us to rest in its clarity. — His Holiness the 41st Sakya Trizin Kyabgon Gongma Trichen Rinpoche

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

It is our own pain, and our own desire to be free of it, that alerts us to the suffering of the world. It is our personal discovery that pain can be acknowledged, even held lovingly, that enables us to look at the pain around us unflinchingly and feel compassion being born in us. We need to start with ourselves. — Sylvia Boorstein

> The violence of the system is much more destructive, much more harmful, although it is well hidden. We call it institutional violence. By calling ourselves nonviolent we are against all violence, but we are first against institutional violence. --Thich Nhat Hanh

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Joseph Goldstein

When we see deeply that all that is subject to arising is also subject to cessation, that whatever arises will also pass away, the mind becomes disenchanted. Becoming disenchanted, one becomes dispassionate. And through dispassion, the mind is liberated. — Joseph Goldstein
