CTR Quote of the Week

You Don’t Have to Create Space

You don’t have to create space. It is there already, so you don’t have to manufacture it…..At that very moment of now, there is no ignorance. In the nowness of the gap, spaciousness becomes intelligent. In that space, there is no further sowing of karmic seeds. And in that moment, spaciousness becomes not just the absence of karmic seeds, but it becomes intelligent and functional. Compassion, communication and gentleness all arise from that openness.

From The Future Is Open: Good Karma, Bad Karma, and Beyond Karma, page 122.
