 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. – Joan Duncan Oliver, “Gifts that Keep Giving” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Romantic Love
In Buddhist practice, we discover that mindful attention can reveal a deeper truth in whatever object we are paying attention to. The same is true in romantic love. When we use our attention to touch and open the deeper truth in a person, we not only catalyze the experience of love, we become love. The source of love is revealed to be within us; we no longer have to go looking for it somewhere outside. – Nicole Daedone, “Love Becomes Her” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Fundamental Well-Being
We need to see the primordial potential in all of our experiences in the same way a doctor sees the health and well-being in his patients. If a patient didn’t possess a fundamental well-being, what would be the point of prescribing such antidotes as medicines, exercise, or new diets? – Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, “Free Expression” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Truth About Gossip
When talking about others is motivated by thoughts of ill will, jealousy, or attachment, conversations turn into gossip. These thoughts may seem to be subconscious, but if we pay close attention to our mind we’ll be able to catch them in the act. Many of these are thoughts that we don’t want to acknowledge to ourselves, let alone to others, but my experience is that when I become courageous enough to notice and admit them, I’m on my way to letting them go. – Thubten Chodron, “The Truth About Gossip” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 I am concerned that Buddhism does not get reduced… to what one might call “single practice” Buddhism. It’s not just about doing a certain kind of meditation, or trying to iron out the kinks in your psyche. As a culture, Buddhism engages the whole of one’s life.
