A Matrix of Opportunity Once we awaken to where we are, we must take the responsibility to transform that world into a matrix of opportunity for wisdom and compassion, not just for ourselves but for all others.

Via Dhamma Wheel | Right View: Understanding the Noble Truth of the Way to the Cessation of Suffering

RIGHT VIEW Understanding the Noble Truth of the Way to the Cessation of Suffering And what is the way leading to the cessation of suffering? It is just this noble eightfold path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. (MN 9) One perfects their ethical behavior by abandoning the taking of life, dwelling without taking life, with rod and weapon laid aside, gentle and kindly, and with compassion for all living beings. (DN 2)

Reflection The first and perhaps most important of the basic ethical precepts is committing yourself to the practice of harmlessness. This means not only no deliberate killing but also refraining from any kind of assault against living beings. The phrase used above literally means “laying down the stick” and broadly speaking is construed as not only abandoning any overt acts of violence but also softening the heart internally with kindness and compassion. Daily Practice How can you bring more harmlessness to your daily life? It  is an emotional attitude more than anything else. It involves seeing things through the eyes of other beings and recognizing that they do not want and do not deserve to be assaulted. Begin by brushing insects away rather than killing them, slowing down to avoid animals on the road, and in every way increasing your sensitivity to the inherent value of life.  Tomorrow: Cultivating Equanimity One week from today: Understanding the Noble Truth of Suffering Share your thoughts and join the conversation on social media #DhammaWheel Questions? Visit the Dhamma Wheel orientation page.

Exploring Gay Wisdom & Culture since 1989
This Day in Gay History
March 08

Noteworthy 2022 - Today is INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY (IWD), originally called International Working Women's Day. It is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women for women's economic, political, and social achievements. The original International Women's Day started as a Socialist political event event, the holiday blended the culture of many countries, primarily in Europe, especially those in the Soviet Bloc. In some regions, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for people to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. In other regions, however, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. Some people celebrate the day by wearing purple ribbons. Because, you know, it isn’t a thing until you have a ribbon.

"Being with someone as they’re dying is the closest one can come to the truth with another person. There is nowhere and no need to hide. Death is a situation that demands no bullshit. You just have to be there and be there in truth. If you’re frightened, say 'I'm frightened.'"   Source: Ram Dass Here & Now - Ep. 110 – Live Awake Share Tweet Forward

The First Buddhist Women The women of the Therigatha are not limited by their suffering, nor does it define them. The wonder of it all is that, despite the pain (and perhaps in part because of it), these women tried for something more. Vanessa R. Sasson, “When Women Showed Up” CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE
