Words of Wisdom for September 29, 2026

I became enamored of [Buddhism] when I realized its basic tenet began by saying, essentially, ‘Life sucks and then you die, so what’s that all about?’ This was the religion for me. This was a framework I could use to examine my actual experience. Far from the promise of pie-in-a-big-sky afterlife, this was about dealing with the fear that comes when you realize nothing is going to save your ass.

– Patricia Anderson, “Real or Pretend “

May you be free from suffering and the causes of suffering!
