Dear *[FNAME]*:
Our Shared Awakening

Nothing is separate and alone. This is how things are. This is compassion, not merely an extra something one of us feels for another, but existence itself. Being is by its nature sharing and loving. And we realize this not as a concept or a method we can work at and finally grasp, but as a truth that we perceive through our mutual recognition, our mutual shared awakening.

Mini Mindfulness Break for November 06, 2020

;

Dear *[FNAME]*:
This is the place of those who are filled with Great Compassion, of those whose hearts remain deeply touched in love and wisdom, as long as others still moan in suffering, misery and sorrow. This is the place of those who shall eternally commit themselves to the wellbeing and enlightenment of the whole of reality. Here is the place of those who give expression to themselves sitting in meditation and on all the paths of existence. Deeply rooted in meditation, they are at the same time totally concerned with helping all beings, going down to the very bottom of things, out of reverence for all who are already awakened.

– The Avatamsaka Sutra, “The Scripture of Inconceivable Liberation”

Stand with Your Shadow

I believe that traditions can promote peace and they can promote violence. There are shadows in humanity, and therefore there are shadows in our traditions. One has to stand with one’s shadows and one’s traditions, which is difficult to do, and learn to use the values of compassion, restorative justice, and reconciliation as pathways toward healing.

Some say my teaching is nonsense.
Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.

I just have three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.

How Prayer Works

To understand how prayer works, consider the sun, which shines everywhere without hesitation or hindrance. Like God or Buddha, it continuously radiates all its power, warmth, and light without differentiation. When the earth turns, it appears to us that the sun no longer shines. But that has nothing to do with the sun; it’s due to our own position on the shadow side of the earth. If we inhabit a deep, dark mine shaft, it’s not the sun’s fault that we feel cold. Or if we live on the earth’s surface but keep our eyes closed, it’s not the sun’s fault that we don’t see light. The sun’s blessings are all-pervasive, whether we are open to them or not. Through prayer, we come out of the mine shaft, open our eyes, become receptive to enlightened presence, the omnipotent love and compassion that exist for all beings.

– Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, “Prayer”

Our Fuller Potential

To open to our deepest nature, our buddhanature, is to access a power of loving compassion that has the courage to challenge oneself and others on whatever ways we may hide from our fuller potential.

Mini Mindfulness Break for September 02, 2020

“…The craft of loving-kindness is the everyday face of wisdom and the ordinary hand of compassion. This wisdom face, this hand of mercy, is never realized alone, but always with and through others. The Buddhist perspective shows us that there is no personal enlightenment, that awakening occurs in the activity of loving relationship.”
