Sneaky Jane |
The last time I updated this I was a 25 year old girl living in Paris, France. Not much has changed except the age and location. 28 and Philadelphia. Things I love include, but are not limited to...peanut butter, tights, blizzards, the beatles and Prince Harry. I love the Phillies more than the Surgeon General recommends. Which, in case you are curious, is 210 milligrams each day for a person of average height and weight. |

Notes“He knew all the details of Tibetan, Chinese, Mahayna, Hinayana, Japanese and even Burmese Buddhism but I warned him at once I didn’t give a goddamn about the mythology and all the names and national flavors of Buddhism, but was just interested in the first of Sakyamuni’s four noble truths, All life is suffering. And to an extent interested in the third, The suppression of suffering can be achieved, which I didn’t quite believe was possible then. (I hadn’t yet digested the lankavatara Scripture which eventually shows you that there’s nothing in the world but the mind itself, and therefore all’s possible including the suppression of suffering.)”
-Jack Kerouac, ‘The Dharma Bums”
