That I was a selfish, judgmental, self-righteous fool. That kindness & compassion did not come naturally or easily to me & that it was going to take intentional, concentrated effort to become a kinder, more compassionate person
Wallaby passed away last night in his sleep. I found him this morning snuggled up to my leg but he was already gone.
I’m devastated.
He was the best cat in the world & I’m so grateful I could share my home with him. I wish I had been able to share it for more time.

I love how in Western Buddhist spaces it’s all about being non argumentative & nonjudgmental & when you read, say, Japanese or Tibetan shastras they’re all like “Thank heaven I found the 1 True Dharma unlike all these deluded hellbound infidels down the street”
