The Purity of Good.... There has to be Evil, so that Good can Prove its Purity above it.

The true Practice of Vipassana Meditation leads to an Equipoise beyond the Pokes of Pleasure and Pain.... It Creates a slow, cumulative Change within the Mind and Body which Evolves into a new Source of Well-Being. It is a steady Investment in the Personal and the Real. It Evokes the Music of the Wind and the Rain. It makes Pain more Bearable than Hate, Equanimity Sweeter than Excitement, and Death more Welcome than Conquest. It makes Service Nobler than Heroism. Sorrow and Joy run back and forth into each other like Twin rivulets Intersecting, Entwining, and Separating again on the same hillside. It leads to a State of Grace, Insight, and Wisdom beyond this world.

🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Thursday, the 18th of April, 2024 Water Rat day in an Earth Dragon moon in a Wood Dragon year (3/10) Lunar Lodge: The Stride/Wolf Solar Index: Complete From now until the #startofSummer, the courtship between the great potential of Yin and the forcefulness of Yang becomes increasingly passionate. Today strong appetites for fulfillment stir us into action! Heaven penetrates and #invigorates, energizing all activity and summoning the unexpected. Thunder puts us #onnotice! Can we handle it?? On the eve of seasonal Yang Qi’s enthronement, it is strongly advised to step back and review our progress rather than begin anything new. It’s a good time to take stock and perform a thorough diagnostic. How well do our resources and capacities square up to our aspirations? Make adjustments. Better to be ruthlessly realistic today than #overstate our ambitions and become gravely #overextended as a result! In the cosmology of the Tongshu, most chronic illnesses are directly related to our misuse of seasonal Yang Qi. Habitually overextended and overstimulated, we quickly burn out our potential and become chronically #deficient. Summer leaves us spent! Over the next seven days, we can #unseat these habits of excessive ambition with a disciplined approach and a little help from our friends. Coordinate with others and #takerefuge in the influences of our social body today. Celebrate the good fortune we have for those who inspire maturity and promote a broad sense of perspective. #Agoodteam should put us at ease and allow us to express our trust safely. Without needing to struggle, we can adapt to circumstance, maintain our flexibility and demonstrate an efficiency of effort. In setting our intentions for Summer, less is often more. However, the one place we can successfully #overindulge is in being generous with others. Invest in each other! Cultivating a #goodreputation secures the support of our alliances as we prepare for the intensity of Summer. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Wednesday, the 10th of April, 2024 Wood Dragon day in an Earth Dragon moon in a Wood Dragon year (3/2) Lunar Lodge: The Basket/Leopard Solar Index: Design In less than four weeks, as this current moon closes, Summer will begin. At that point, the Fire of #theSummerSeason will pull everything into action. Between now and then, we are invited to assess and #authenticate our potential. Where do we find #meaningandpurpose and how do we plan to contribute? What is our vision? For the next two days, the auspices favor forward movement but the situation is very fluid. We’re still in #theearlystages of #soliddevelopment. We should be cultivating our capacity to relate not just fixate on being productive or accomplishing something. Do not attempt to command Nature. While today provides encouragement and laziness is not advised, deliberately #bidingourtime shows insight. In fact, careful observance is the best sort of progress today. Be engaged and #continuously perceptive. Treat everything that catches our attention as an opportunity for omen. The best way to avoid getting #backedintoacorner is to see it coming ahead of time. Avoiding the #pretense of overcommitment, we are in a better position to know what to embrace and what to leave behind. #Takerefuge in those that show a history of having our back. #Jointefforts show resiliency and provide great benefit. Be receptive to the inevitable success that comes from joining together with others today! Once we feel a collective spirit with great sincerity, everything else is put into perspective. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Saturday, the 6th of April, 2024 Metal Rat day in a Fire Rabbit moon in a Wood Dragon year (2/28) Lunar Lodge: The Root/Badger Solar Index: Complete During these final three days of 2nd moon of Spring we would be strongly advised to #takerefuge in what is regular and continuous. When it comes to the movements of the Heavens, the #revelatory traditions of the modern world would have us align our aspirations with exotic phenomena. The rarer and #moredramatic, the better. While obviously sensational, to the Chinese tradition, these events #destabilize Nature rather than nurture it. As such, they offer no #realmomentum. In the cosmology of the Tongshu, we are encouraged to ground our aspirations in what is cyclical because repetition naturally #stabilizes and accumulates momentum. Readying ourselves for the 3rd moon, what is exceptional disperses potential. ‘Keeping the Qi in the channels’ is the road to success. One of the opportunities of the 2nd moon has been to establish a continuity of trust with one another. Be in good company today. Closing the second moon, it is greatly favorable for showing our commitment to #jointefforts or communal endeavors. When we agree to participate and contribute, we show ourselves #worthyoftrust and become more influential as a result. Rest and celebrate our rapport! Of course, negotiations in this process of #relatedness may be ongoing. While it’s fair to be discerning about who we share our time and energy with, it’s better to be cooperative than competitive today. Being overly independent or calculating advantage may discredit us. Back off a little and recover our humility. When we do, #allisforgiven. Forget #beingexceptional. Who picks us up when we fall? 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

This by @mark_nepo, never stops being a source of inspiration. “We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved, and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed and beneath every sadness is the fear that there will not be enough time”.

After a winter break, I'm happy to return with a new project. I selected a familiar theme: verses Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels. These particular verses come from the Refuge Chant of the Order of Interbeing. I still find the Order of Interbeng, @plumvillagefrance and Thich Nhat Hanh's other communities have the most inspiring and well-composed chants in English. Although the topic of this work is not new, the script I've used is. I've used the Beth script, developed by The @thepostmansknock. It's a lovely, slightly modernized version of a traditional Copperplate style. This script is not as ornate as similar styles, which, to my eyes, makes it well-suited to these kinds themes. I look forward to resuming a regular cadence of work: there are always far more ideas than there is time.

Role Models, Mentors, Teachers, and Gurus.... We spend a lot of our lives looking for Role Models, Mentors, Teachers, and Gurus to Guide us on our Path. There is nothing wrong with this and, finding the right person at the right time can really help. However, it is important to realize that in the Absence of such a Figure, we can very safely Rely upon Ourselves. We carry Within us Everything we Need to know to make Progress on our Paths to Self-Realization. The Outer World serves as a Mirror. Or to use another metaphor, our Inner World has a Magnetic Force that Draws to us What we Need to Evolve to the Next level.

What were the conditions which led Ayya Yeshe transforming her monastic life from being focused on the inner spiritual journey, to one that would now serve the wider community? In our recent podcast conversation, she tells the story of how she began to formulate the Buddha’s teachings in a deeper manner. “Although our own spiritual practice is very important, and seclusion is necessary - it's the building block, the foundation stone of Buddhist practice - communal practice is often underestimated and misunderstood. Westerners have just taken this insight [meditation] practice and left everything else: ethics, altruism, community, which were naturally there as part of Buddhist practice. The Buddha spent many months of every year on the road teaching different people, encountering different people, and different people would come to the monastery every day. So, it's a myth to say that monks and nuns live in solitude all the time. They actually meet with lay people every day when they have a meal! They're completely dependent upon lay people. If they lose that connection, Buddhism will disappear in that country. So, I started a charity, because at first, I was just chanting and giving people blessings in India, but somebody put a dying baby in my lap, and it had diarrhea. It was like a little skeleton, and they were like, ‘Please pray for this baby.’ And I was thinking, ‘This is not upāya; this is not ‘skillful means.’ This baby doesn't need just prayers; this baby needs a two dollar tablet that will save its life. And I, as a person with white privilege from a wealthy country, have the ability to do this.’ I just realized it was patronizing to teach people about spiritual things when they were basically starving and didn't have basic human rights or education. So, I just realized, ‘Okay, this garden bed of human beings needs more nourishment. Let's lift their survival and their education and their human rights situation. And then, they can think about spiritual teachings and practice.’ And that's how the Bodhichitta Foundation India started.”

What are Paramis.... Paramis are Virtues. Good human Qualities. By Perfecting them, one Crosses the Ocean of Misery and Suffering and Reaches the stage of Full Liberation. Full Enlightenment. Paramis are Needed to Dissolve the Ego and Reach the stage of Egolessness - to develop Detachment, Equanimity. To Come Out of all Attachment to “I”, Me, Mine.” A Student of Dhamma, who Aspires to Attain the final stage of Liberation, Enlightenment, joins Vipassana courses in order to Develop these Paramis. Little by little, one Develops these Paramis in every course one does. They should be developed in Day-to-Day living as well. However, in a Meditation course Environment, the Perfecting of Paramis can be greatly Accelerated.

A Buddhist Monk Learns the Truth Ashin Kovida's journey towards supporting democracy and human rights is a compelling tale of personal transformation and the power of knowledge, which he shared on a recent podcast episode. Growing up in a remote village in Burma, he initially followed the traditional path of monastic life. However, his curiosity led him to secretly study English, introducing him to Western political concepts like democracy and human rights, which he initially viewed with skepticism due to their foreign origins. His perspective shifted when an educated monk helped him see the importance of these ideas, and his exposure to foreign media and literature, including Aung San Suu Kyi's "Freedom From Fear," solidified his commitment to democratic values. Drawing from Buddhist teachings, he realized the fundamental importance of government respecting the will of the people, a principle the military junta in Burma failed to uphold. Ashin Kovida's advocacy for democracy eventually put him in danger, prompting him to seek refuge in Switzerland. He continued his advocacy from abroad, highlighting the need for change within the Burmese monastic education system to include a broader curriculum and encourage critical thinking. He believes that this evolution is essential to making Buddhism more relevant to diverse populations and ensuring the continued relevance of its teachings. Throughout his journey, Ashin Kovida's commitment to truth, democracy, and human rights has remained steadfast, embodying the essence of Buddhist principles and inspiring others to stand up for these ideals as well. “When I started learning English, I was just interested in learning English language; that's it. But fortunately, I met some well-informed, well-educated monks, who were really open minded. And I had an opportunity to talk with them about politics. I didn't believe. I didn't support, I didn't like Aung San Suu Kyi at that time! Because I was influenced by the state media, which is called the ‘New Light of Myanmar;’ the state-run military printed all this stuff. So, all the times they blamed Aung San Suu Kyi..."
Psalm 34:8 encourages people to experience God's goodness for themselves. The phrase uses the metaphor of taste to invite people to personally encounter God and discover the goodness that comes from a relationship with Him. Everyone who applies God's Word learns firsthand that the Lord is good, and also finds the Lord is an available and reliable stronghold. #cityreachqueens #crqchurch #thelordisgood #takerefuge #tasteandseethatthelordisgood

Trust is a funny thing. When we are children we trust most anything that we are told. We have to really, because we have no knowledge to speak of that it could be wrong. As we get older and we gain that knowledge there are things that maybe don’t line up and you realize they were wrong. We also start to learn that everyone does not have our best interest in mind. There are many people we may encounter that will break our trust. Trust is a very difficult thing to get back once it has been lost. It is possible, but difficult. Here is a truth you can count on. Every single person in your life will disappoint you at some point. I don’t care how good of a person we think they are, they will. The Bible clearly tells us in Romans 3 that there is no one who is good. You will disappoint people in your life and others will disappoint you. That’s just how it is. And you can also count on this truth, you can trust in God. He will not disappoint you. He is the only one who is good. All the bad comes from people and the enemy. Not from God. God will not break your trust and He will always have your best interest in mind. We are the only ones who have broken and continue to break bonds with God. We are the problem, not Him. Trust in Him, not people. “It is better to take refuge in the Lord Than to trust in people.” Psalms 118:8 #itis #better #takerefuge #intheLord #than #trustinpeople #verseoftheday #devotion #scripture #bible #daily #pray #verse #devotional #JesusPeriod

Dear gardener… 👇🏽👇🏽 In life, we all have a garden. It’s the garden of our mind, our spirit— if you will. When we are on a personal or professional growth path, we are tending our gardens. What we can forget sometimes is that although we are focused on the weeds, there are wonderful things in our gardens that we can enjoy every day. Every garden has weeds, gopher holes, decaying leaves, and overgrown grass. And, every garden has a tree that offers shade in the summer heat. A ruby red tomato. A blooming flower. A bench to rest. As we find ourselves on the first day of a new year, let us not forget that as we work on the weeds, we can also celebrate and enjoy the wonderful aspects of our gardens. Both exist simultaneously, making us deeply human. The garden grows the gardener.

Small Acts, when Multiplied by Millions of people, can Transform the World.... When we’re not Peaceful, when we don’t have enough Compassion in us, we can’t do much to help the World. We Ourselves are at the Centre. We have to make Peace and Reduce the Suffering in Ourselves first because we Represent the World. Peace, Love and Happiness must always Begin here with Ourselves. There is suffering, fear, and anger inside of us, and when we take care of it, we are Taking Care of the World. Thich Nhat Hanh Loving, Understanding, Accepting and Supporting each other will allow us to Work Together to Change The World in 2024. May you have a Happy New Year.

Protecting Your Delusion.... Train Yourself - Your Mind, with the Meditation Techniques you have received, and Don’t Twist the Techniques to Protect your Delusion. - Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche Eventually, in time, with the Right Committed Daily Meditation Practice, the technique will naturally “fall away”, and you will be left with True Meditation. But you won’t get there without the Practice of the Purity of the Technique to Turn the Key and Open the Door. And you are certainly Far from your Goal if you Judge others Against the Technique that You Choose to Practice.

Even during the most tumultuous moments, the dharma holds steady. When the worldly winds whirl, I take refuge in the Buddha, the dharma, and the sangha. I also take refuge in nature, art & beauty, swimming, reading, friends and family, making love with my husband, writing, and sometimes a bit obsessively with Duolingo, and sweet things! How about you? It’s always good to remind yourself of the things that uplift, relax, comfort, and inspire you.

Sometimes we put a unspoken “limit” on God and his power. The gravity that has a constant hold on your body, the air that circulates through your lungs with each breath you take, the water that falls from the sky, the highest mountain peak to the lowest depths of the earth… all of it was created by the ultimate creator. Rest assured that God has even “tiny” You in the palm of His hand. There’s no place better to be. If you’re having a hard day, if you feel overwhelmed with life, if you have uncertainties fogging your brain; give all your cares to the Lord. #thelord #lordgod #god #godfirst #godisgood #godthefather #godthecreator #creator #fathergod #goodthought #palmofhishands #peaceful #rest #takerefuge #refuge #peaceperfectpeace #peacethatsurpassesallunderstanding

I take refuge to the sea.. it’s not the first time. Since I was a young boy, I was merely surrendering myself to the waters, maybe the only way to be connected. I haven’t realised that till now! Very often, I use to advice my patients in treatments, just to slow down, reduce speed, take a breath, even more to realise that the whole body is constantly breathing without the slightest effort. Just be there, let go, observe, do not proceed, no need to. Thus, me as an experienced practitioner, as I probably am after all these years, I realise that myself, in some of my hardest moments I have somehow, no other way than taking refuge to the sea. My path leads me to my fears, I need to admit that. My suffering, my loss, my frustration, show me there is something else out there. The way of acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness. Life is giving me a lot to understand, to work with, to appreciate. It’s not easy, never liked it easy anyway. With these miracles happening around me all the time, teaching me, helping me grow and transform, what else could I express than gratitude, thankfulness. For some reason , I’m still here, my path leads me to my terra incognita.. #takerefuge #sorrow #pain #loss #acceptance #fear #journey #breathe #gratitude #transformation

There’s one refuge in Buddhism, and it‘s not to take refuge in any people. It is to take refuge in in the Three Jewels of Buddhism, The Buddha, The Dharma and The Sangha. 佛教的皈依只有一个，皈依不是皈依人，而是皈依佛法僧三宝。 #takerefuge #buddhism #guru #buddha #dharma #sanga #threejewels #wisdom #innerwisdom #guruquotes #tibet #tibetan #tibetanbuddhism #vajrayana #vajrayanabuddhism #khyentse #khyentsesenge #皈依 #皈依三寶 #佛法 #佛法僧 #佛 #上师 #上师每日语录 #西藏 #藏传佛教 #钦哲桑格 #钦哲

Veil of Ignorance.... When the Buddha speaks of Ignorance, he is Not talking about a Lack of Knowledge in an Intellectual sense. He is talking about a Lack of Knowledge of What is Happening Within Oneself. It is this Lack of Inner Knowing that Causes our Unhappiness.
