Mini Mindfulness Break for December 23, 2022

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Deep Engagement

It is a misunderstanding to think that enlightenment is some sort of final escape from life and that the doctrine of the unsatisfactory nature of samsara obviates any need for involvement with other beings or social responsibility. Because nirvana is selfless, there is no self that enjoys a state of being beyond the world. Wisdom and compassion are ultimately inseparable, wisdom being the complete knowledge of ultimate selflessness and compassion being the selfless commitment to the happiness of others.

– Robert Thurman, “The Politics of Enlightenment”

Dear *[FNAME]*:
The Possibility of Transformation

Only because of emptiness can things change and flow. Emptiness is not a vacuum, a black hole, but the possibility of endless transformations. There is no more grasping, or self-created barriers and limitations. The Buddha-nature can shine through and express itself fully.

– Martine Batchelor, “The Ten Oxherding Pictures”

Salvation Beyond Self
Each deepening of refuge is a lessening of ego. More faith, less ego. Thus Buddhism finds salvation beyond self.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Challenge How We Cling

When Buddhism says, ‘It’s an illusion, it’s empty,’ I think back to when Ignatius said, ‘Your self–that’s your problem. You have to conquer self, kill the self.’ It’s that tradition, both in Christianity and in Buddhism, in which we are challenged to let go of what is so comfortable and what we cling to as who we are, if we’re going to open ourselves to reality and truth.

– Jerry Brown, “Politics and Prayer”

We’re not attempting to meet some standard egocentric karmic conditioning/self-hate sets for us and badgers us to meet. We’re learning, growing, and changing in a process of coming to Presence.

Skillful Speech

Skillful Speech
Few things can improve the nature of our relationships as much as the development of skillful speech. Silence offers us, and those around us, the spaciousness we need to speak more skillfully. When we speak with greater skill, our true self–our compassionate, loving self–emerges with gentle ease.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Nobody to Be, Nothing to Strive For

To study the way of enlightenment is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.

Dear *[FNAME]*:
Freed from Fixations

Our lack of self frees us from the compulsion to secure ourselves within the world. We do not need to become more real by becoming wealthy, or famous, or powerful, or beautiful. We are able to realize our nonduality with the world because we are freed from such fixations.

– David Loy, “Healing Ecology”

Dear *[FNAME]*:
How to be Mindful

Since the sense of self is the embodiment of the absence of awareness, forgetting to observe is inevitable as we try harder to be aware. The problem of how to be mindful is actually resolved not through strenuous effort but by relaxing, allowing, and observing what is already here. Within the framework of relaxation, the sense of self has a diminishing power center, making space for awareness to be revealed.

– Rodney Smith, “From Thought to Stillness”
