As we observe sensations without reacting to them, the impurities in our minds lose their strength and cannot overpower us.

Via Daily Dharma: Nothing Special
Our
lives, just as they are, plain and simple, are filled with miracles.
Nothing special, nothing holy; or rather, everything special, everything
holy.

Opening Our Minds to Save Our World
Opening Our Minds to Save Our World
For
centuries, science and religion have been at odds with one another. Now
the future may depend on our ability to bring these two perspectives
together to meet the challenges we face as a species and a planet.
In September’s Dharma Talk series, "A New Paradigm for Science and Religion," Tibetan Buddhist teacher, scholar, and translator B. Alan Wallace presents a bold vision of science and religion joining in a spirit of radical empiricism and open-minded inquiry. Together, he suggests, these two knowledge systems can help us to adopt a more expansive view of the nature of reality—and to reduce suffering and find true happiness in a time of global uncertainty.
Wallace has studied Buddhist philosophy and practice for the past 50 years, seeking to marry the wisdom of the dharma with the insights of modern science. He is the founder and president of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies and author of books including Tibetan Buddhism from the Ground Up and The Attention Revolution: Unlocking the Power of the Focused Mind.

Noteworthy
1991 -
On this date a group of AIDS activists called "TREATMENT ACTIVIST GUERRILLAS" (TAG) accomplished one of the funniest and most outrageous bits of public activism when they literally put an enormous condom over the home of rabid homophobe and AIDS death accomplice Senator Jesse Helms in Arlington, Virginia. The activists knew they only had seven minutes before the police showed up. You can see the action in the 2012 documentary How To Survive and Plague. Here: https://youtu.be/Nrr0eA34CSM
