Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

BUDDHA IS EVERYWHERE

Buddha can't be avoided. Buddha is everywhere. Enlightenment possibilities 
are all over the place. Whether you're going to get married tomorrow, 
whether you're going to die tomorrow, whatever you may feel, that 
familiar...awake quality is everywhere, all the time....From this point of 
view, everything is a footprint [of Buddha], anything that goes on, whether 
we regard it as sublime or ridiculous. Everything we do -- breathing, 
farting, getting mosquito bites, having fantastic ideas about reality, 
thinking clever thoughts, flushing the toilet -- whatever occurs is a 
footprint.

 From "Buddha Is Everywhere," in GLIMPSES OF REALIZATION: THE THREE BODIES 
OF ENLIGHTENMENT pages 72 to 73. Edited by Judith Lief. Published by 
Vajradhatu Publications.
