Mini Mindfulness Break for August 24, 2021

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Reflecting Upon Social Action

One reflects thus: “I shall initiate and sustain bodily acts of kindness towards my companions, both publicly and privately.” One lives with companions in concord, with mutual appreciation, without disputing, blending like milk and water, viewing each other with kindly eyes. One practices thus: “I set aside what I wish to do and do what my companions wish to do.” (MN 31)

Dear *[FNAME]*:
To feel is a verb; it is something that happens. We all feel. Emotion is a noun, a thing. To feel is beautiful, belonging to both the animal and human condition. When we allow feelings to harden and coalesce into emotions, which we transport like overburdened slaves, we deny ourselves life’s freshness, it’s ever present potential for renewal and transformation.

– B.K.S. Iyengar, Daily Peace Quote

Dear *[FNAME]*:
“Mindfulness is a quality we can find in every faith tradition and even in non-faith traditions, certainly in secular society, we value the capacity to be attentive and to be in the present moment. So whether you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, we all can get in touch with the present moment.”

– Phap Luu

Dear *[FNAME]*:
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.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each one’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
When Pain Happens to Us

We suffer because we marry our instinctive aversion to pain to the deep-seated belief that life should be free from pain. In resisting our pain by holding this belief, we strengthen just what we’re trying to avoid. When we make pain the enemy, we solidify it. This resistance is where our suffering begins.

– Ezra Bayda, “When It Happens to Us”

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Truth Will Set Us Free

Liberation comes not by believing in the right set of tenets or of dogmatic assertions, or even necessarily by behaving in the right way. It’s insight, it’s wisdom, it’s knowing the nature of reality. It is only truth that will make us free.

– Interview with B. Alan Wallace by James Shaheen, “What Is True Happiness?”

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Mindfulness of the body involves being fully conscious of your bodily sensations as they occur in the present moment. Reflecting upon bodily action, as described here, has to do with being sensitive to the ethical quality of your actions, which requires tuning in not only to what you are doing but also to how your current activities affect yourself and others. If they pass review, then carry on; if not, it is time to alter your behavior.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Pure Freedom

The practice of generosity is the practice of freedom, and it carries with it all the joy and pleasure that are associated with liberation. Indeed, there may be no greater sense of fulfillment in life than the simultaneous feelings of human interconnection and pure freedom that arise from an authentic act of selfless generosity.

– Dale S. Wright, “The Bodhisattva’s Gift”

Dear *[FNAME]*:
When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.

– Thich Nhat Hanh
