Following the dharma in the 21st century

“In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Every day I drive down the one way system and pass the Lemontree Studio, which until recently used to have a noticeboard outside with a “quote of the day” …. some were funny, some thought provoking and some were pretty abstract, but each day we would look out for them as we drove past.

Recently, whether the owner has been having a lie in or is opening shop later, the board has disappeared!  We really miss the daily quote, so I thought I’d start them up on my blog and hence on Twitter.  First quote of the day will come tomorrow morning
