Mini Mindfulness Break for May 05, 2021

Dear *[FNAME]*:
When pleasure is encountered in ordinary life it is usually accompanied by desire and craving. When we practice mindfulness with pleasant feeling tones as an object, the goal is to experience the sensations with equanimity rather than with preference and attachment. It is natural to experience pleasure; the danger comes only when we allow it to carry us away into unhealthier mental and emotional states.

– Andrew Olendzki, Dharma Wheel – Tricycle

Dear *[FNAME]*:
I think deep-seated, long-lasting, intractable emotional pain is always evidence that we believe something false.

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.

Mini Mindfulness Break for September 25, 2019

The process of weakening a false thought is a little like losing a baby tooth; at first, you may only feel a tiny bit of “give,” a slight wiggle away from rigid belief and constant emotional pain. But as the mind turns its energy to dis-proving a painful though, rather than proving it over and over again, the wiggling becomes more pronounced. You feel freer and freer, until one day you forget you ever believed something that is now obviously untrue.

A Tulku’s Take on Nirvana

The essence of our consciousness is already love and wisdom. Karma, concepts, and emotional patterns are only temporarily preventing our consciousness from unfolding its enlightened nature.

Mini Mindfulness Break for January 30, 2019

People whose hearts have been injured armor themselves against further pain, rejecting anything with the potential to touch them deeply. If you tend to respond to love by running or panicking, don’t push yourself. You must eventually get over the problem if you want your emotional wounds to heal, but you can’t force this to happen. Just try to accept as much compassion as possible, in whatever form you can stand it. Persist in this effort and, over time, your resistance to love will relax.

Emotional intimacy is one of the greatest joys of human existence. Still, it’s best to let it develop gradually, with each party revealing more as confidence and mutual trust increase.
