now is pema chodron, teaching me:when discovery and exploration and curiosity become your path, if you follow your heart, you're going to find that it's often extremely inconvenient. when you take refuge and become a Buddhist you become a refugee, you leave home and become homeless. you've left the shore but you haven't arrived anywhere yet. you've left home, you've become homeless, you long to go back, but there's no way to go back.Refugee: that is what it means to become one who wholeheartedly is using one's life to wake up instead of going to sleep.It's like someone laughing in your ear, challenging you to figure out what to do next when you don't know what to do. It humbles you. It opens your heart.(P.Chodron The Wisdom of No Escape). namaste, my beloveds
