 When we choose to empty the teacup of “I, me, and mine,” when we drop the karmic story, when we redirect the attention from the conversation in conditioned mind to thisherenow, what is is the blessed knowledge of emptiness!

 Social Action and Buddhism
Understandably, Buddhism often appears to promote personal transformation at the expense of social concern. Some Buddhist teachings claim that the mind does not just affect the world, it actually creates and sustains it. According to this view, cosmic harmony is most effectively preserved through an individual’s spiritual practice. Yet other Buddhists amend the notion that mind is the primary or exclusive source of peace, contending that inner serenity is fostered or impeded by external conditions. Buddhists who place importance upon social factors and social action believe that internal transformation cannot, by itself, quell the world’s turbulence. – Kenneth Kraft, “Meditation in Action” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Abide in Patience
Praise and so on distract me and remove my disillusionment with the cycle of existence. They stir up jealousy toward gifted people, and anger at their success. . . . It is wrong to feel anger toward someone, thinking that person impedes my merit. As there is no austerity equal to patience, shall I not abide in that? – Shantideva, “The Way of the Bodhisattva “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
