Enlightenment

Ten years ago I couldn't stop thinking, feeling,  Just anger, just rage, until this moment. A crow laughs, the dust clears, I hold the arhat's fruit.   -  Zen Master Ikkyu, "Incense Thrown on the Buddha"

JMG HomoQuotable - Andrew Sullivan

"I never believed this would happen in my lifetime when I wrote my first several TNR essays and then my book, Virtually Normal, and then the anthology and the hundreds and hundreds of talks and lectures and talk-shows and call-ins and blog-posts and articles in the 1990s and 2000s. I thought the book, at least, would be something I would have to leave behind me – secure in the knowledge that its arguments were, in fact, logically irrefutable, and would endure past my own death, at least somewhere. I never for a millisecond thought I would live to be married myself. Or that it would be possible for everyone, everyone in America. But it has come to pass. All of it. In one fell, final swoop. Know hope." - Andrew Sullivan, returning to his blog to spike the ball.

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. -  Allan Lokos, "Skillful Speech"

“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.”

“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.”

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. -  Sensei Nancy Mujo Baker, "On Not Being Stingy"
