Mini Mindfulness Break for September 08, 2021

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Putting Your Body to Good Use

What should you do to put your body to good use? Most people have no idea. A craftsman who borrows some tools will try to make the best possible use of them while they are available. Your body, too, is actually on loan to you for the time being, for the brief period left before it is taken back from you by death. Had you better not use it to practice the dharma while you can?

– Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, “The Day After You Die”

Dear *[FNAME]*:
The sun and the moon are reflected in clear, still water instantly.

Similarly, the blessings of all the buddhas are always present

for those who have complete confidence in them.

The sun’s rays fall everywhere uniformly,

but only where they are focused through a magnifying glass can they set dry grass on fire.

When the all-pervading rays of the Buddha’s compassion are focused through the magnifying glass

of your faith and devotion, the flame of blessings blazes up in your being.

– Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Dear *[FNAME]*:
How Ignorance Causes Suffering

This is what we call ignorance: not recognizing the void nature of phenomena and assuming that phenomena possess the attribute of true existence although in fact they are devoid of it. With ignorance comes attachment to all that is pleasant to the ego as well as hatred and repulsion for all that is unpleasant. In that way the three poisons–ignorance, attachment, and hatred–come into being. Under the influence of these three poisons, the mind becomes like a servant running here and there. This is how the suffering of samsara is built up. It all derives from a lack of discernment and a distorted perception of the nature of phenomena.

Shine the Light of Insight

Simply by turning on the light, you can instantly destroy the darkness. Likewise, even a rather simple analysis of ego-clinging and afflictive emotions can make them collapse.
