| The Exquisite Taste of Plain Water
When we are able to fully appreciate the basic activities of eating and drinking, we discover an ancient secret, the secret of how to become content and at ease. The Zen teachings talk about the exquisite taste of plain water. Have you ever been very, very thirsty? Maybe you were on a long hike, or sick, or working without a break in the summer heat. When you were finally able to drink, even plain water, you remember how wonderful it was. Actually, each sip of liquid and each bite of food can be that fresh and delicious, once we learn again just to be present. – Jan Chozen Bays, “Mindful Eating” |

 The Precepts
To be sure, as humans with a short life span, we cannot know the long-term results of our actions. But recognizing that what we say and do can have repercussions for months, years, or eons, and that we cannot know the “final” outcome of something we think, do or say, Buddhism, like all other major religions, has developed a set of precepts. The precepts have been compared to dikes in a rice field. They hold back and channel the rushing water of our passions so that our life is not flooded, so that smaller and more helpless creatures are not harmed and the harvest of our life’s efforts is not ruined. These precepts prohibit those actions that have a bad outcome and cause harm to ourselves or others almost all of the time. – Jan Chozen Bays, “What the Buddha Said About Sexual Harassment” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Whose Presence Do You Value?
Many of us have a mind that measures self-worth in terms of productivity. . . . We give ourselves no credit for just being present. And yet, if you asked the people you care about what they would like most from you, their answer is likely to be some version of “your presence.” – Jan Chozen Bays, “The Gift of Waiting” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
