Practicing With Loss

Loss is a fact of life. Impermanence is everywhere we look. We are all going to suffer our losses. How we deal with these losses is what makes all the difference. For it is not what happens to us that determines our character, our experience, our karma, and our destiny, but how we relate to what happens.

– Lama Surya Das, “Practicing With Loss”

Zen is really just a reminder to stay alive and to be awake.
We tend to daydream all the time, speculating about the future and dwelling on the past. Zen practice is about appreciating your life in this moment. If you are truly aware of five minutes a day, then you are doing pretty well. We are beset by both the future and the past, and there is no reality apart from the here and now.

Mini Mindfulness Break for May 23, 2019

Most of us think of love as a one-to-one relationship, which is the limitation of love on the physical level. But there is no limit to our capacity to love. We can never be satisfied by loving just one person here, another there. Our need is to love completely, universally, without any reservations – in other words, to become love itself.

Pain is Our Teacher

While we may never prefer to have pain, it can nevertheless push us in ways we would not otherwise push ourselves–into a deeper and ultimately more appreciative experience of what it is to be genuinely alive.

There’s magic in transitional times. In the moments when we’re no longer what we were, but not yet what we will become, we can choose to be anything.

Elements of Stability

The transformative power of Buddhist meditation occurs when the stability and vividness of shamatha is unified with the penetrating insights of vipashyana. Shamatha by itself results in a temporary alleviation of the fundamental causes of suffering, and vipashyana by itself provides only fleeting glimpses of reality.

– B. Alan Wallace, “Within You Without You “

The Heart Holds Two Truths

Take refuge in the dharma when you’re hurting; gain perspective; expand your capacity for empathy; uncover the biases you carry within yourself; and also see all arisings as empty. And then, see with complexity, and hold both conventional and ultimate truths in your heart.

– Jay Michaelson, “Retreat or Fight? Both are Right. “
