The Happiest Mind
The Buddha discovered that the happiest mind is the nonattached one. This happiness is of a radically different order than what we’re used to. – Cynthia Thatcher, “What’s So Great About Now? “ |

Dear *[FNAME]*: |
The practice of insight meditation also involves the practice of concentration. Insight and concentration are like the two wings of a bird, each supporting the function of the other. Concentration is a mental factor that allows the mind to focus on a single object without being carried away by the stream of consciousness into telling and retelling stories. Insight is understanding the nature of what you are focusing on.
– Andrew Olendzki, Dharma Wheel – Tricycle |

Rest in natural great peace This exhausted mind Beaten helpless by karma and neurotic thought Like the relentless fury of the pounding waves In the infinite ocean of samsara. Rest in natural great peace. – Nyoshul Khenpo Rinpoche |

Dear *[FNAME]*: |
Open to It All
Become still, quiet the mind, sit like the mountain and sky–stable and undivided in the face of everything that comes up. Open to the unpleasant part, the down-in-the-dumps part, the making-mistakes part, the prolonged-aching-in-the-heart part. The not knowing and the bouts of joy. Become one in the same as yourself, or “one with” your life – Diane Musho Hamilton, “Practice Is the Way” |

Cultivate an Awakened Mind
Bodhicitta, generally translated as the wish for or spirit of awakening, refers to a state of mind that corresponds to being awakened or that leads to it. It is the intention to attain perfect awakening for the sake of all beings. – Karma Trinlay Rinpoche, “What We’ve Been All Along” |

Vision and Routine
The key to development along the Buddhist path is repetitive routine guided by inspirational vision. It is the insight into final freedom–the peace and purity of a liberated mind–that uplifts us and impels us to overcome our limits. But it is by repetition–the methodical cultivation of wholesome practices–that we cover the distance separating us from the goal and draw ever closer to awakening. – Bhikkhu Bodhi, “Vision and Routine” |

Balancing Our Lives
There has to be breathing in as well as breathing out. We need to have both the active and the contemplative. We need time to just be with ourselves, and to become genuinely centered, when the mind can just be quiet. – Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, “Three Kinds of Laziness” |

The Mind’s Surprises
The mind can do wonderful and unexpected things. Meditators who are having a difficult time achieving a peaceful state of mind sometimes start thinking, “Here we go again, another hour of frustration.” But often something strange happens; although they are anticipating failure, they reach a very peaceful meditative state. – Ajahn Brahm, “Stepping Towards Enlightenment” |

Mini Mindfulness Break for December 28, 2020
Dear *[FNAME]*: |
The way the self arrays itself is the form of the entire world. See each thing in this entire world as a moment of time. Things do not hinder one another, just as moments do not hinder one another. The way-seeking mind arises in this moment. A way-seeking moment arises in this mind. It is the same with practice and with attaining the way. Thus the self setting itself out in array sees itself. This is the understanding that the self is time.
– Eihei Dogen, Trans. Kaz Tanahashi |
