| The Examined Life
Life is profound if you’re awake to see it. It’s one thing to draw from culture, it’s another thing to be drawn so deeply into the culture that your true nature disappears. Wisdom is not merely something to be gained with old age. One can be wise in every stage of one’s life. To manifest wisdom means simply to step back and see–to reflect, inquire, be aware, be disciplined, and be focused not once in a while, but all of the time, moment to moment. This life is precious and fleeting. Pay attention. – Seido Ray Ronci, “The Examined Life” |

| American Buddhism Calls for Participation
In this historical moment when American democratic ideals of freedom, civility, pluralism, altruism, and individualism make America the most comfortable home on earth for the individual pursuit of enlightenment, it is an essential form of Buddhist practice to participate in politics, to vote, to speak out, to encourage those who agree, to reason with those who disagree. It is wisdom. It is meditation. It is compassion. It is ethics. – Robert A. F. Thurman, ” The Politics of Enlightenment “ |

| 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” |

| What We’re Made Of
All that we are is a result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. – Buddha, in Scott Darnell’s “Dharma in a Broom Closet “ |

| Commit to Love
To commit to love is fundamentally to commit to a life beyond dualism. That’s why love is so sacred in a culture of domination, because it simply begins to erode your dualisms: dualisms of black and white, male and female, right and wrong. – bell hooks, “Agent of Change: An Interview with bell hooks “ |

| Equanimity is the last of the seven factors of awakening and completes the preceding series of mindfulness, investigation of states, energy, joy, tranquility, and concentration. Equanimity is the culmination of skillful states of mind because it neutralizes craving, occupying the midpoint between its two forms, greed and hatred. Equanimity is in the middle where one gazes upon what is happening without entanglement.

What leap of faith is your compass telling you to do next? If it’s easy, cheap, logical, and socially acceptable, lucky you! If it’s terrifying, expensive, weird, and a little crazy, lucky you! Feel the fear and do it anyway.

 Remember that love, like inner peace comes from within and exists aside from outside circumstances. As we saw before, love is the desire to relieve pain and bring happiness. Lust, on the other hand, is the desire to mate. Love and lust may exist together, but there is also lust without love and love without lust, i.e., without the desire to produce offspring.
