Words of Wisdom for December 05, 2023

Dear Friends:
Gracious acceptance is an art – an art which most never bother to cultivate. We think that we have to learn how to give, but we forget about receiving things, which can be much harder than giving.

– Alexander McCall Smith, Daily Peace Quotes

Dear Friends:
“How do we want to remember our past? The more we understand what happened to us, the more we understand what to do in the present – what we are celebrating, what we are remembering, what we have to reconcile, and what we have to pay tribute to.”

Words of Wisdom for December 02, 2023

Dear Friends:
ACCEPTING LIFE AS IT IS

Love is not the experience of beauty and romantic joy alone. Love or compassion, the open path, is associated with “what is.” In order to develop love–universal love, cosmic love, whatever you would like to call it–one must accept the whole situation of life as it is, both the light and the dark, the good and the bad. One must open oneself to life, communicate with it.

Words of Wisdom for November 30, 2023

Dear Friends:
The quality of intention you put into social action is going to have an effect on the results, much like the planting of seeds affects the harvesting of fruit. It is important to change the inequities and injustices that abound in society but equally important to do so motivated by generosity, kindness, and wisdom rather than by greed, hatred, and delusion. Practice manifesting positive qualities in all the work you do toward social change.

Dear Friends:
Experiencing Non-Suffering

In meditation we learn to cultivate and stretch the moments of being unencumbered, those places of non-suffering. We can experience the state of non-suffering with each breath, moment by moment, breathing in and breathing out.
