Dear Friends:

In enaction, there’s this added layer of awareness of the participation of the living being in the creation of meaning, and the creation of the reality that it exists in. That’s where wonderful new enactive thinkers have come up with this notion of ‘participatory sense-making’–which is that meaning is made, not in my head or in your head, but in the space between us. So it’s through participating together in a relationship that we create meaning.

Love Your Neighbor as Yourself

In the words of Jesus, we are taught to love our neighbors as ourselves. These days, many people are so miserable that they don’t love themselves. Instead, they find someone else to blame and go off to create more misery for other people. The are caught in a self-destructive cyc …

Words of Wisdom for September 22, 2023

Dear Friends:

Authentic Love

There are zillions of relationship-advice books out there but many share a failing: their readers, desperate in their relationships, are still trying to control things. They’re using the book to “make things better,” when the key is in accepting ourselves and our partners for who we are.

The arc of the spiritual path and the arc of the relationship path aren’t merely parallel; they are intimately bound together. As we practice our spiritual path more deeply, it inevitably changes the way we are in our relationships. Likewise, as we learn to ease up on our demands and needs from others, we learn that the spiritual path is not about fulfilling a need — a need to change what we don’t like about ourselves, for example — but about letting go of needs altogether.

– Sumi Loundon Kim, Lion’s Roar

Dear Friends:

The Spirit of Recognition

Paying attention provides the gift of noticing and the gift of connecting. It provides the gift of seeing a little bit of ourselves in others, and of realizing that we’re not so awfully alone.

Words of Wisdom for September 20, 2023

Dear Friends:

Take some time to look at suffering rather than avoid it by looking elsewhere. There are opportunities for doing this all around you, as both small and large examples of suffering abound. Pay close attention to the quality of mind that occurs when you are giving sustained attention to the suffering of another. It is not about getting lost in pity or sorrow but about allowing the mind to feel the pain with an attitude of caring.

Dear Friends:

Arbitrary Divisions

We divide our world into me/you, friend/enemy, desirable/undesirable, fulfilling/frustrating, and so on. It’s a natural process, but a very arbitrary, utterly subjective one.

Words of Wisdom for September 16, 2023

Dear Friends:

Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of human beings but lies in the first step of existence. In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.

– Jiddu Krishnamurti

Words of Wisdom for September 18, 2023

Dear Friends:

You were always free

There always was a pure drop of the water of compassion
Falling from the branch of the willow tree

There always was a wondrous voice,
a voice that thundered like the rolling sea.

There was always freedom from affliction

Within the suffering
the cause
the end
the path

Even in the desolation
Even in addiction
Even in injustice
Even in the endless war

There always was a springtime returning to the dry earth
A child born from a lotus blossom
and
You were always free

– Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear Friends:

Face to Face

In a sense, all of Buddhist practice takes place here, in this most intimate realm: here, in the family, shoulder to shoulder with fellow workers, beside each other on the cushion. Even alone in a cave, there is no way out of the sense object we call the body. We meet each other face to face, and so have all our teachers and ancestors met each other. In this way have all the Buddhas taught. Hand to sweating hand.
