| Dear *[FNAME]*: |
 |
| True mastery involves a kind of driven skill-building. It may take an extraordinary life experience to make it happen. Maybe not. After stewing about it for a lifetime, I’m stewing about it right now — I know that mastery is a form of love transported to the surface.

| Prayer Dissolves Hindrances
The mind is like a mirror. Although our true nature is the deity, what we now experience are ordinary mind’s reflections. Enemies, hindrances, inauspicious moments–all of which appear to be outside of us–are actually reflections of our own negativities. . . . Prayer helps to purify the habits of ordinary, small mind and ignorance of our true nature as the deity. – Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, “Prayer: Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche “ |

Mini Mindfulness Break for October 04, 2020

| Who would you be if you were simply present, like a wild animal, without past or future? What would you do if you didn’t know it was impossible? What would you believe if you trusted that all your longing will be fulfilled? Every time you contemplate a question like these, you become a little bit more bewildered–by which I mean you’re learning to be wilder, to let go of your mind’s judgments and fears and live from your core.

 The Five Hindrances
At all times, and in no particular order, we want to become sensitive to the harmful effects of sense desire, ill will, restlessness, sluggishness, and doubt, and to work actively to restrain their arising. With the development of certain skills, we can position ourselves wisely so that the conditions that feed these unhealthy states will diminish. – Andrew Olendzki, Dharma Wheel – Tricycle Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 When we make a commitment, our commitment is always to presence, not to what we’re committed to. If we focus on the commitment itself, conditioning distracts our attention from process to content. When a commitment becomes the end in itself it’s an instrument of suffering.

 Change Your Relationship to Pain
You change your relationship to the pain by opening up to it and paying attention to it. You ‘put out the welcome mat.’ Not because you’re masochistic, but because the pain is there. So you need to understand the nature of the experience and the possibilities for, as the doctors might put it, ‘learning to live with it,’ or, as the Buddhists might put it, ‘liberation from the suffering.’ If you distinguish between pain and suffering, change is possible. – Jon Kabat-Zinn, “At Home in Our Bodies” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 No Past, No Future, Only This
There is nothing other than this present moment; there is no past, there is no future; there is nothing but this. So when we don’t pay attention to each little this, we miss the whole thing. – Charlotte Joko Beck, “Attention Means Attention “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 The Joy of No Sex
The Buddha taught that sexual activity is part and parcel of craving (kama-tanha, the craving for sensuality), described in the second noble truth as the cause of suffering, a source of clinging and attachment (upadana, or attachment to sensual pleasure), a hindrance to meditation and a fetter or obstruction to liberation. More obstructive than the object of desire itself is the mental activity we generate around it–the constant thinking and planning and anticipation about how we get the goods. When sex is involved, kama-tanha is a given. When sex is not involved, it can be easier to see how kama-tanha takes over. – Mary Talbot, “The Joy of No Sex” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
