Woke up at 5:45am and did morning practice: 108 bows, 50 minutes of meditation, and listening to Sunim's Dharma talk with my Korean Sangha online. Mind is calm and at ease. May all sentient beings be at ease and free from suffering. Let us cultivate and practice with diligence.

Reactionary mind is a weak mind. Sit back. Train yourself to remain still, unperturbed. Observe, recognize and let go. Once the mind becomes still, nothing external can disturb your inner solitude. May you be at peace.

Women seduce a sage. May they not seduce you. Abstaining from sexual intercourse, abandoning various sensual pleasures, be unopposed, unattached, to beings moving & still. โ€” Buddha, Nalaka Sutta (Samyutta Nikaya 3.11)
