| The Possibility of Transformation
Only because of emptiness can things change and flow. Emptiness is not a vacuum, a black hole, but the possibility of endless transformations. There is no more grasping, or self-created barriers and limitations. The Buddha-nature can shine through and express itself fully. – Martine Batchelor, “The Ten Oxherding Pictures” |

| Resisting what we canââ¬â¢t control removes us from reality, rendering our emotions, circumstances and loved ones inaccessible. The result is a terrible emptiness, which we usually blame on our failure to get what we want. Actually, it comes from refusing to accept what we have.

| A Light Touch
Discovering emptiness brings a lightness of heart, flexibility, and an ease that rests in all things. The more solidly we grasp our identity, the more solid our problems become. – Jack Kornfield, “No Self or True Self?” |

| Form is not a distraction from emptiness. This movie of waking life is not a problem that needs to be solved, or some kind of cosmic mistake that needs to be transcended. It is more like a dance or a painting or a song to be enjoyed, sometimes in the way a comedy is enjoyed, sometimes in the way a tragedy is enjoyed, sometimes in the way a mystery is enjoyed, sometimes in the way turning off the TV is enjoyed. The body and this whole amazing world of apparent form is so beautiful, so precious, and so utterly fleeting. And the more deeply you enter into any apparent form, the more it dissolves into formlessness.
– Joan Tollifson, Daily Peace Quote |

 Neither Suffering nor Non-suffering
There is a difference between ordinary beings and those who are on the path. The latter can simultaneously know suffering and the emptiness of suffering that is the state of wisdom. – Khyentse Rinpoche, “Invisible Realities “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Defining Emptiness
Emptiness simply means an absence of reactivity. When you relate to somebody, there’s not you and me and your little mind running its little comparisons and judgments. When those are gone, that is emptiness. – Charlotte Joko Beck, “Life’s Not a Problem” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

Mini Mindfulness Break for September 18, 2019
 When we choose to empty the teacup of “I, me, and mine,” when we drop the karmic story, when we redirect the attention from the conversation in conditioned mind to thisherenow, what is is the blessed knowledge of emptiness!

Wisdom and Compassion
Wisdom and compassion are the cornerstones of Buddha’s teachings. Wisdom includes the teaching of emptiness. Compassion includes the teaching of interbeing or interdependence and altruism based on the insight of interbeing. What do we mean by emptiness? When you say that something is empty, you must ask, “Empty of what?” – Jerome Freedman, Mindfulness Breaks: Your Path to Awakening NOTE: This month we celebrate my teachers, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and Father Eli, who taught me so much about meditation, “mind stories” and visualization. My book, Mindfulness Breaks, Your Path to Awakening, celebrates Thich Nhat Hanh and Father Eli. The book was released last month. Chick on the link below or in the bio for more information. |
