Quotes

  • Anette Højer Jensenhas quoted2 years ago
    The first noble truth says that if you are alive, if you have a heart, if you can love, if you can be compassionate, if you can realize the life energy that makes everything change and move and grow and die, then you won’t have any resentment or resistance.
  • Anette Højer Jensenhas quoted2 years ago
    I’ve always experienced these teachings as a tremendous affirmation that there is no need to resist being fully alive in this world, that we are in fact part of the web.
  • Anette Højer Jensenhas quoted2 years ago
    ‘When you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha’ means that when you see that you’re grasping or clinging to anything, whether conventionally it’s called good or bad, make friends with that.
