name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.

Quotations
Self
Just don’t seek from another or you’ll be far estranged from Self. I now go on alone meeting it everywhere, it now is just what I am; I now am not it. You must comprehend in this way to merge with thus-ness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Dongshan"
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door, and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
