The Urban Monk is no alarm clock!
2008 October 18
In a recent post by one of my fave blogs ‘The Urban Monk’ author, Dogo Barry Graham wrote so profoundly (in my opinion):
“My enlightenment is delusion for you. My awakening is darkness for you – because it is not yours. You have to get it from yourself, experience your own Buddha-nature. Secondhand awakening is no awakening at all, only a vivid dream. What another person gives you can also be taken away, and, even while you have it, it is just one more hindrance.”
Well said… So very well said.
This path is mine and the uniqueness and the preciousness of this human form I inhabit will never cease to amaze me. 
Is it time to wake up? It could be

Good post. We all have a huge responsibility to help ourselves and each others. We can all become Buddhas.
