Today's Daily Dharma: 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.

“Chegou o momento de realizarmos uma revolução na consciência. Isso é
possível através do comprometimento com o silêncio. O silêncio evoca a
consciência, e a consciência evoca a transformação. A prática de um
único minuto em silêncio por dia é capaz de iniciar a maior revolução
que o planeta já viu.”
“The time has come to revolutionize our awareness. This is possible through our commitment to cultivating silence. Silence brings awareness, and awareness evokes transformation. The practice of being in silence for just one minute a day could spark the greatest revolution the planet has ever seen.”

Making Wisdom Possible

As
the reordering of our life, brought about by moral training, creates
the environment for meditation, the stillness of mind created by
meditation will make possible the examination of reality that is the
hallmark of wisdom.

“Por alguma razão
estamos todos encarnados nessa Terra, portanto nos cabe jogar esse jogo.
E não importa o quão desafiador o jogo seja, é possível vencer. Para
isso é preciso ter consciência de que caímos e levantamos até que
amadurecemos o suficiente para não mais cair. Quando podemos identificar
a nossa intencionalidade negativa, podemos escolher fazer diferente, e
portanto temos a chance de mudar nossas vidas.”
“We are each born on this Earth for a reason, so it’s up to us to play this game of life. No matter how challenging the game is, it is possible to win. In order to win, we must become aware that we will keep falling down and getting back up until we are mature enough not to fall anymore. When we are able to identify our negative intentionality, we can choose to do things differently, and we consequently have a chance to change our lives.”

Exorcise the Zombies

In samsara, the city of preconceptions,
Wander the zombies of the eight worldly concerns.
You are in a terrifying charnel ground;
Have your guru perform an exorcism.

Today's Daily Dharma: Getting Back What We Give
|
Getting Back What We Give
|
We
are always trying to get something? admiration, love, recognition,
praise, acknowledgment, even just staying connected. Think how we
manipulate and bargain and negotiate to turn a profit from every
interaction. Much of this is subtle, unconscious habit. Even when we
give, or serve, or love, or pay attention, we?re trying to get
something. Sometimes it?s just to get back some of what we give.

“No atual estágio da nossa jornada evolutiva a principal prática
espiritual é se relacionar com o outro de forma pacífica. Todas as
demais práticas devem estar a serviço disso. Muitos buscadores estão
preocupados em abrir os chakras, despertar a kundalini, adquirir
poderes... Mas nada disso adianta se não pudermos amar. É tempo de
sustentar o seu coração aberto enquanto se relaciona com o outro.
Enquanto não pudermos manifestar essa consciência amorosa, seguiremos destruindo a natureza, matando os animais e machucado os outros e a nós mesmos.”

“At the current stage of our evolutionary journey, our main spiritual practice is to relate to others peacefully. All other practices should be working towards this. Many seekers are preoccupied with opening chakras, awakening kundalini, and acquiring powers. However, none of this is worth it if we are not able to love. It is time to sustain an open heart while relating to others. As long as we are not able to embody loving awareness, we will continue to destroy nature, kill animals and hurt others as well as ourselves.”

Religious
awakening does not depend initially on who we are or what we do;
rather, it is becoming attuned to the working of great compassion at the
heart of existence.

“Embora o relacionamento amoroso seja um poderoso instrumento de
aprendizado e integração de aspectos da natureza inferior, ele também
pode adiar o seu desenvolvimento espiritual. Muitas vezes, preso pelo
apego ou pelo comodismo, você fica no relacionamento repetindo padrões
destrutivos: disputas, projeções, ciúme, e assim você passa a andar em
círculos. Então você para de crescer, de expandir através do
relacionamento. Nesse momento, é preciso ter discernimento, sabedoria e coragem para encerrar essa relação.”

“Aunque la relación amorosa sea un poderoso instrumento de aprendizaje e
integración de aspectos de la naturaleza inferior, también puede
retrasar tu desarrollo espiritual. Muchas veces, preso por el apego o
por la comodidad, te quedas en la relación repitiendo patrones
destructivos: peleas, proyecciones, celos, y así das vueltas en
círculos. Entonces dejas de crecer, de expandirte a través de la
relación. En ese momento, es necesario tener discernimiento, sabiduría y
coraje para terminar esa relación.”
“Although loving relationships are a powerful tool for learning and integrating aspects of our lower nature, they can also postpone spiritual growth. Oftentimes, we get stuck in our attachment or complacency, and we stay in the same relationship repeating destructive patterns including arguments, projections and jealousy. Thus, we continue running around in circles. We stop growing and expanding through the relationship. At a time like this, we need to have discernment, wisdom and courage in order to end the relationship.”

Unlikely Transmission from Father to Son

From
the ashes of [my father's] unhappiness rose the phoenix of my spiritual
calling. I can?t stand in judgment of him, because I am the result of
him. . . . I have inherited his spiritual discontent, and have devoted
myself to overcoming it.
