| What The Heart Finds In Silence
In the Buddhist tradition we are asked to develop a quality called Noble Silence, which serves not only as a sacred vehicle for us, but is also in a very real way our destination. – Shell Fischer, IMCW |

| I love the Buddhist concept of enlightenment as living without anxiety over imperfection. You can strain every fiber of your being trying to be flawless, only to face inevitable failure–or you can stop worrying about perfection, which instantly makes everything feel great.

| A Place for Desire
The ultimate aim of my own Buddhist practice is an indestructibly confident and happy state of life through which I can help suffering people. Finding a balanced place for desire in that pursuit helps keep me motivated to do the hard, personal work demanded of a Buddhist practitioner. – Jamie Liptan, “Chanting for Stuff” |

| Engaging Others’ Views
Listen without arguing, and try to hear what the other is really saying, remembering that, as Buddha pointed out, all beings wish to be happy and avoid suffering. A Buddhist practices nonattachment to views. If we human beings are going to stick around on this earth, we need to learn to get along not just with the people who share our views, but also, and more to the point, with the people who get our goat. And remember–we get their goat, too. – Susan Moon, “Ten Practices to Change the World” |

| Remembering Generosity
The dimension of generosity is hidden in plain sight, yet we can overlook it even if we spend every waking hour in a temple. Perhaps as a way of reminding us, Buddhist ceremonies often end with an invocation or, if you’d prefer, a prayer: “May all beings find happiness.” – Kurt Spellmeyer, “Buddhism and the Market “ |

| How to Surrender
In the Shin Buddhist tradition, as we listen to the teaching we are made to realize that we can never surrender ourselves. Resistance comes from the deepest center of our karmic selves. That’s why the Buddha Amida’s compassion says, “Tai, you don’t have to surrender.” When I hear that, when I understand that I can’t do it because it’s not my nature–that it’s like saying, “Fly to the sky”–then I realize that I don’t have to surrender, yet, naturally and spontaneously, the surrender takes place by virtue of true compassion. – Taitetsu Unno, “Even Dewdrops Fall: An Interview with Taitetsu Unno” |

| American Buddhism Calls for Participation
In this historical moment when American democratic ideals of freedom, civility, pluralism, altruism, and individualism make America the most comfortable home on earth for the individual pursuit of enlightenment, it is an essential form of Buddhist practice to participate in politics, to vote, to speak out, to encourage those who agree, to reason with those who disagree. It is wisdom. It is meditation. It is compassion. It is ethics. – Robert A. F. Thurman, ” The Politics of Enlightenment “ |

| Dear *[FNAME]*: |
 |
| Where we start is with our own life, our own existence, in its very basic sense: the fact that we draw breath, we exhale breath; we’re thrown into this world at birth and at death, we’ll be thrown out again… That’s the primary koan. And it’s always important… in one’s practice, to keep coming back to that. If your practice, your Buddhist philosophy, does not really address that core question, I think one has to really reconsider what you’re doing.

| Vision and Routine
The key to development along the Buddhist path is repetitive routine guided by inspirational vision. It is the insight into final freedom–the peace and purity of a liberated mind–that uplifts us and impels us to overcome our limits. But it is by repetition–the methodical cultivation of wholesome practices–that we cover the distance separating us from the goal and draw ever closer to awakening. – Bhikkhu Bodhi, “Vision and Routine” |

| Shedding Self-Protective Clinging
Too often Buddhist ‘nonattachment’ is misconstrued as ‘non-loving.’ The purpose of Buddhist practice is not to ‘renounce’ our families or community, but to shed habits of self-protective clinging that prevent us from loving them more unconditionally, powerfully, enjoyably. – Lama John Makransky, “Family Practice” |
