It's not as easy as you might think. Wiping out evil doers was a quaint phrase of simple minds that understand only their narrow view.
We can only open heart to come to understand what is there.
And choose to do what we see fit.
“If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”In Wohnkuche, who is sipping tea, pouring coffee, toasting bread, buttering cranberry-pecan slices, basking in sunshine, laughing at our foolishness, smiling at our loving kindness, appreciating the buddhist sangha and the christian community after morning sitting?
--Alexander Solzhenitsyn
When realizing mind you see that buddhahood is not a place which you must reach.Two kittens come to meetingbrook from local shelter today.
Since it is a self-existing purity, there is no need to cultivate it.
It is experienced simply as a natural presence …
There is nothing you need to realize apart from it, so settle this issue by realizing it.
(-- Padmasambhava, the ‘Lotus-born’)
We can only open heart to come to understand what is there.
And choose to do what we see fit.
