 Innocent Consciousness
The work of Zen is to reach the ground of being, to perceive the true nature of the self, which, as it turns our, is a phantom. This is also the work of poetry, at least for me: to erode the membrane between self and the world, so that a newly innocent consciousness can emerge, one that sees what it sees without commentary, analysis, or judgment. – Chase Twichell, “Second Innocence: With Basho at Sesshin “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Quenching the Fire of Anger
Like a forest fire, anger tends to burn up its own support. If we jump down into the middle of such a fire, we will have little chance of putting it out, but if we create a clearing around the edges, the fire can burn itself out. This is the role of meditation: creating a clearing around the margins of anger. – Mark Epstein, “I’ve Been Meditating for Ten Years, and I’m Still Angry.

 Devotion and Compassion
We need devotion to enlightened beings and compassion to those who are not. Possessing these two, the main training is maintaining nondistraction. When we forget mind essence we get carried away. But with devotion and compassion, the practice of recognizing mind essence will automatically progress. – Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, “The Great Experiment” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Gift of Compassion
True dana is about giving with no expectation of return. One who receives a gift of compassion is promised nothing more than the emotional boost of knowing good has been done. But as we groan under the weight of our possessions, that in itself can be a priceless gift. Altruism is a proven tonic. – Joan Duncan Oliver, “Gifts that Keep Giving” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
