“Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right before you. Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything–even mountains, rivers, plants, and trees–should be your teacher.”

– Morihei Ueshiba

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”

Cherishing Existence

This is who and what we are: constellations of matter, vulnerable, impermanent, and–for moments? for lifetimes?–illumined by the miracle of awareness. Whether fleeting or eternal, it’s a miracle that we must never take for granted.

We practice learning not to shut our eyes, to notice without judgment, to see with unconditional acceptance, and to let go without effort that which stands in the way of loving the world.

What is practice?
Everywhere, nothing is hidden.
– Dogen

Earth, water, fire, air and space
Combine to make this food.
Numberless beings gave their lives and labors that
we may eat.
May we be nourished, that we may nourish life.

Mini Mindfulness Break for August 18, 2019

Romantic Love

In Buddhist practice, we discover that mindful attention can reveal a deeper truth in whatever object we are paying attention to. The same is true in romantic love. When we use our attention to touch and open the deeper truth in a person, we not only catalyze the experience of love, we become love. The source of love is revealed to be within us; we no longer have to go looking for it somewhere outside.

Mini Mindfulness Break for August 17, 2019

Nothing’s gonna change my world. Have you ever taken refuge in that thought, beloved? It’s a lie, of course; your world has never stopped changing, and it never will. As you read this, everything you know and everything you are is dropping away, and away, and away, into the irretrievable past. Sometimes it’s fairly easy to ignore that, of course. You create a career, a relationship, a child, and you tell yourself things are as they should be, forever. It’s a lovely fantasy while it lasts, and it can be hard to let go when the illusion of stability inevitably ends.
