“All relaxation does is allow the truth to be felt. The mind is cleared, like a dirty window wiped clean, and the magnitude of what we might ordinarily take for granted inspires tears.”
Jay Michaelson, Evolving Dharma: Meditation, Buddhism, and the Next Generation of Enlightenment

“There’s no path to liberation that doesn’t pass through the shadow.”
Jay Michaelson, Evolving Dharma: Meditation, Buddhism, and the Next Generation of Enlightenment

“Sometimes, sitting there on the cushion failing to watch your breath, it can feel like you’re the only weirdo weird enough to be wasting your time in this way. But you’re not! There are generations of weirdos, monasteries full of them, and we have the benefit of their accumulated wisdom.”
Jay Michaelson, Evolving Dharma: Meditation, Buddhism, and the Next Generation of Enlightenment
