 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” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Grief is overwhelming only when it’s left in the “hands” of egocentric karmic conditioning/self-hate. It’s no different from any other life experience. If we approach it from center, it brings richness to our lives. If we turn it over to ego, as with anything turned over to ego, it becomes a source of suffering.

 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. – Ezra Bayda, “More than This Body” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Luminous Gap
Entering the awakened state of mind, even for a moment, is always preceded by an experience, however fleeting, of extreme contrast and conflict. Even on the highest and most subtle levels of attainment, negative and positive continue together side by side, until one makes the leap beyond them both. – Francesca Freemantle, “The Luminous Gap in Bardo” |

 “You” need to hear your voice. Everyone needs to hear their own voice expressing their own experience of what is authentically Life.

 The First Glimpse of Prajna
It is as if we were entering a school to study a certain discipline with great, wise, learned people. The first self-conscious awareness we would have is a sense of our own ignorance, how we feel extraordinarily stupid, clumsy, and dumb. At the same time, we begin to get wind of the knowledge; otherwise, we would have no reference point to experience ourselves being dumb. The first glimpse of prajna is like that. – Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, “A Very Practical Joke” |

 Life is what we are. The dropping into the spaciousness that we experience when we let go of the conversation in conditioned mind is how we experience Life living us. Everyone who gets this, gets the gift of a lifetime! The authentic “gift that keeps on giving.”

 Wisdom Arising
We train the mind to see things as they happen, neither before nor after. And we don’t cling to the past, the future, or even to the present. We participate in what is happening and at the same time observe it without clinging to the events of the past, the future, or the present. We experience our ego or self arising, dissolving, and evaporating without leaving a trace of it. We see how our greed, anger, and ignorance vanish as we see the reality in life. – Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, “Wisdom Arising” |

 When you meditate on compassion you begin to identify more with the desire and capacity to alleviate suffering and less with the suffering itself, so that although you experience suffering, you recognize that it is something that happens, not who you are.

 It is not enough to have faith in spiritual ideals, based on the testimony of the scriptures or spiritual teachers. We must realize these truths for ourselves, in our own life and consciousness. As the Buddha was fond of saying, the spiritual teacher only points the way; we must do our own traveling. The personal example of others may plant the seed in our hearts, but faith can develop fully only when we begin to experience these truths in our own lives.
– Eknath Easwaran |
