- Brother Phap Dung about spiritual progress, taking care of Mother Earth inside yourself and drinking tea.
“You are Mother Earth. To take care of yourself is also to take care of Mother Earth. Mother Earth is not an environment out there that we have to safe. Mother Earth is your body, your mind that you need to take care of.”
This interview is part of a series of interviews about our relation with Mother Earth: evermind.media...
Recorded during the Wake Up Earth retreat in Plum Village, August 2017.

"Sometimes I come across a tree which seems like Buddha or Jesus: loving, compassionate, still, unambitious, enlightened, in eternal meditation, giving pleasure to a pilgrim, shade to a cow, berries to a bird, beauty to its surroundings, health to its neighbors, branches for the fire, leaves for the soil, asking nothing in return, in total harmony with the wind and the rain. How much can I learn from a tree? The tree is my church, the tree is my temple, the tree is my mantra, the tree is my poem and my prayer." ~ Satish Kumar
"If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
"Another way of looking at growth is to think of it like the rings of a tree, which means that each age is ever-present." ~ Jane O'Brien
"... is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us; our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life." ~ Albert Einstein
"By trying to feed the Holy in Nature the fruit of beauty from the tree of memory of our Indigenous Souls, grown in the composted failures of our past need to conquer, watered by the tears of cultural grief, we might become ancestors worth descending from and possibly grow a place of hope for a time beyond our own." ~ Martin Prechtel
"Relationship has significance only when it is a process of self-revelation." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
"The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see." ~ James Baldwin
"Our afflictions, and addictions -- are as wicked, or wise -- as our understanding of them." ~ Paul Jung
"But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself." ~ Rachel Carson
"Psychotherapist Miriam Greenspan uses the term intervulnerability to describe the need for this mutually held space. When asked about this idea in an interview, she replied, When I say we are “intervulnerable,” I mean we suffer together, whether consciously or unconsciously. Albert Einstein called the idea of a separate self an “optical delusion of consciousness.” Martin Luther King Jr. said that we are all connected in an “inescapable web of mutuality.” There’s no way out, though we try to escape by armoring ourselves against pain and in the process diminishing our lives and our consciousness. But in our intervulnerability is our salvation, because awareness of the mutuality of suffering impels us to search for ways to heal the whole, rather than encase ourselves in a bubble of denial and impossible individualism. At this point in history, it seems that we will either destroy ourselves or find a way to build a sustainable life together." ~ Francis Weller
"We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road - the one less traveled by - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth." ~ Rachel Carson
"Courage is the measure of our heartfelt participation with life, with another, with a community, a work; a future. To be courageous is not necessarily to go anywhere or do anything except to make conscious those things we already feel deeply and then to live through the unending vulnerabilities of those consequences." ~ David Whyte
"The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found." ~ Terrence McKenna
"Whatever lessens suffering in yourself and others, that is right. Whatever increases suffering, that is wrong. The answer is within you. When you are free of pride and prejudice, when you are calm and attentive, a light will shine within you. Through meditation and through being mindful you will find your own knowledge of rightness. You will be your own light." ~ Satish Kumar
