More From Anne Rice

Sweat, sweat, sweat! work and sweat, cry and sweat, pray and sweat!
Sweat Praying Cry
Sometimes when i'm alone i cry, cause i am on my own. the tears i cry are bitter and warm. they flow with life but take no form i cry because my heart is torn. i find it difficult to carry on. if i had an ear to confide in, i would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. the world moves fast and it would rather pass by. then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. and sometimes... i cry and no one cares about why.

Someone once asked me why people sing. i answered that they sing for many of the same reasons the birds sing. they sing for a mate, to claim their territory, or simply to give voice to the delight of being alive in the midst of a beautiful day. perhaps more than the birds do, humans hold a grudge. they sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. they sing to help themselves execute a job of work. they sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.

We must know the difference between sweat and tears. sweat is wet. tears are wet. sweat is salty. tears are salty. but progress comes through sweat. progress never came through tears.

If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. we cannot breathe, we cannot think. to be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. we cannot be alive if we are not empty. emptiness is impermanence, it is change. we should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.

Understanding and love are not two separate things, but just one. to develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. when you understand, you cannot help but love. and when you love, you naturally act in a way that can relieve the suffering of people.

You've got a lifetime to mull over the buddhist understanding of interconnectedness." he spoke every sentence as if he'd written it down, memorized it, and was now reciting it. "but while you were looking out the window, you missed the chance to explore the equally interesting buddhist belief in being present for every facet of your daily life, of being truly present. be present in this class. and then, when it's over, be present out there," he said, nodding toward the lake and beyond.' ~dr. hyde, pg 50

The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of lao-tzu's dictum: "those who know, do not say; those who say, do not know." when the master entered, they asked him what the words meant. said the master, "which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?" all of them indicated that they knew. then he said, "put it into words." all of them were silent.

The way of presentation is different according to each religion. in theistic religions like buddhism, buddhist values are incorporated. in nontheistic religions, like some types of ancient indian thought, the law of karma applies. if you do something good, you get a good result. now, what we need is a way to educate nonbelievers. these nonbelievers may be critical of all religions, but they should be decent at heart.
