"A fetter is something that holds you down as a prisoner so that you lose your freedom and power to escape. Except in the case of masochists, fetters are applied by others. In Buddhist psychology, we are shown that the Saŋyojanas come from within ourselves. Escape is not really a matter of breaking free of the fetters but of letting go our grasp on them." Brian Taylor, The Ten Fetters
'Mercy has a human heart. Pity a human face: And Love the human form divine, And Peace the human dress.' ~ William Blake. ________________________ "If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?" ~ Dogen ________________________ All of us human beings, need compassion and growth.
