Yo, where my BuJews* at?

At Chabad.org, apparently, where they've been more than a little Buddhist the last couple of days.

Reality in Tidy Boxes

Tell me you found G-d in a tidy package, I will tell you that is not G-d, that is Mind.

Tell me you found G-d in the limitless beyond-beyond space, beyond time-that too is not G-d. That too is Mind.

Where the boundless dwells within a bounded space, where darkness shines, where silence sings, where bitterness is sweet and a moment lives forever-there is G-d; there is the essence of all that is real.

 

Soul Repair

How will you repair a soul?

Blind yourself to the shell of mud. Dig deeply and deeper yet, sift through the darkened embers, search for a spark that still shines. Fan that spark until a flame appears, fall in love with the flame and despise the evil that encrusts it. Until all is consumed in the warmth of that flame.

For empathy is the redeemer of love and the liberator of deeds that shine.
