Mini Mindfulness Break for December 14, 2020

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Buddhism is not a fixed body of dogma (like perhaps some other
religions). It has always been transformed by its interactions with
those cultures into which it has moved; at the same time, those
cultures have been transformed by their interaction with Buddhism. So
the style of the teaching reflects Buddhism’s creative capacity to
interact with a culture in a way that makes it available to that
culture, but at the same time it remains true to its own principles
and its own pattern. Stephen Batchelor

The art of dharma practice requires commitment, technical
accomplishment, and imagination. As with all arts, we will fail to
realize its full potential if any of these three are lacking. The raw
material of dharma practice is ourself and our world, which are to be
understood and transformed according to the vision and values of the
dharma itself. This is not a process of self- or world- transcendence,
but one of self- and world- creation. The denial of “self” challenges
only the notion of a static self independent of body and mind–not the
ordinary sense of ourself as a person distinct from everyone else. The
notion of a static self is the primary obstruction to the realization
of our unique potential as an individual being. By dissolving this
fiction through a centered vision of the transiency, ambiguity, and
contingency of experience, we are freed to create ourself anew.

– Stephen Batchelor, Buddhism Without Beliefs

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Every born Wayfinder goes through stages of self-realization: loneliness, striving, disappointment, surrender, release, and then the slow awakening to a world where magic is real and miracles commonplace. The journey is worth it.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
The Best Things Are Free

Life, it turns out, is unsatisfactory, as long as we allow our hopes and fears to be the authors of our expectations… Thankfully there’s a practice that helps us recognize the source of this disappointment and opens us to this richness. And it’s free.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Where Meditation Begins

What it all comes down to is that even if you practice meditation to become a paragon of love and wisdom, all it can do is put you face-to-face with who you are and with what is, which is where all meditation begins.

Mini Mindfulness Break for December 09, 2020

Dear *[FNAME]*:
How to Practice Sympathetic Joy

In the Buddha’s teachings, sympathetic joy or being happy for another’s happiness (Pali: mudita) is one of the four brahmaviharas, the four highest qualities of the heart. In recent years, the other three–loving-kindness, compassion, and equanimity–have received quite a lot of attention from practitioners, researchers, and the press alike. But sympathetic joy has gotten little attention. How can that be? Shouldn’t joy be the most appealing of the heart qualities? Not necessarily. Traditionally it is often referred to as the most difficult of the four. Sympathetic joy is complicated.

Mini Mindfulness Break for December 08, 2020

Dear *[FNAME]*:
The Refuge of Silence

Silence arrests flight, so that in its refuge, the need to flee the chaos of noise diminishes. We let the world creep closer, we drop to our knees, as if to let the heart, like a small animal, get its legs on the ground.

– Barbara Hurd, “On Silence”

Dear *[FNAME]*:
THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

The spiritual friend’s role is to take you out for a walk to look at the star of Bethlehem. It is a real experience at that point, no myth. There is the star of Bethlehem out there shining, and it is not a matter of conmanship at all. It’s a real experience, very real. It can be called the meeting of two minds. The main point here is making enlightenment real, rather than purely a myth.

Mindfulness Counteracts Craving

Desire narrows our awareness till we see only what we crave; mindfulness helps us see other possibilities. As we observe that our cravings–no matter how strong–eventually pass, we no longer feel compelled to act on them.
