"Maybe human beings are the most stupid creatures in the world. Birds and fish are happy, flying around, swimming around, and humans are the ones who most often fight and complain. Why? We can say it is because we are ignorant, which is true. We are affected by these poisonous aspects of life: greed, anger and ignorance. The most fundamental one is ignorance. How do we treat this ignorance?" Maezumi Roshi http://www.hazymoon.com/opening-to-wisdom/

Never Gets Old "This point of single-minded concentration is and always will be eternal. And yet, most of us don’t feel that it is important enough to make even a lukewarm effort to actualize it. There is nothing else that is equal to it. Everything else you do in life will turn to ashes." Read this powerful dharma talk from our archives. http://www.hazymoon.com/this-very-point/

"His example, this practice, is the way out." A practitioner's review of Mingyur Rinpoche's "In Love With the World." http://www.hazymoon.com/in-love-with-the-world/"

Reading from the book Awareness by Anthony de Melloa Jesuit priest and psychotherapist who grew up in Mumbai, IndiaNyogen Roshi marvels at how much the Jesuit’s teaching sounds like instructions from masters in the Zen and Tibetan traditions. Death is not a tragedy at all, Roshi says, quoting de Mello. Only dead people fear death. If you overcome the fear of death, you learn what it truly means to be alive. http://www.hazymoon.com/the-death-of-me/
