- praptak 7y agoI believe it is at best misquoted from the actual canon: https://tricycle.org/magazine/you-deserve-your-love-and-affection/ https://tricycle.org/magazine/you-deserve-your-love-and-affe... The quote from the canon: Searching in all directions With your awareness, you find no one dearer than yourself. In the same way, others are thickly dear to themselves. So you shouldn’t hurt others if you love yourself.
- gerbilly 7y agoNow that is interesting. I heard that quote from a respected Zen master! This is why I love HN. Thanks for the correction.
