The Buddha's Mind Is Kind

The Buddha is not like this conventional historical person. The Buddha is your mind when it's free of reactivity. That's the same mind the Buddha had when he was free under a tree. When you have that mind, that's Buddha. And that's what you take refuge in. That's what transforms you and inspires you to keep practicing. So, here's your homework. Just be kind. Just be so kind with yourself. You'll have missed the spirit of the practice. Forms are empty.
