Via Daily Dharma: Trust Your Own Pace

If enlightenment were easy, everyone would be enlightened. Meditation has its own pace. The practice brings you just the challenges you need and are able to handle at the right time.

We have to work on ourselves until we can be in the world without being automatically reactive. As the stuff of the world around us comes pouring in on us, instead of reacting with fear and aversion or greed and grasping, the art is to introduce a moment of clear, quiet awareness between the input (or perception) and the output (or response). By adding this moment of awareness, we break the chain of reactivity that keeps us all so unconsciously bound.

As you quiet your mind, you begin to see the different components of your being and which ones are out of harmony. For example, at times you can feel that your body is pulling on you. It’s draining your energy, or the muscles need strengthening or relaxing.

Remember that your body is the temple of your spirit, work with it, doing things that release or balance energy. Hatha yoga, the yoga of energy, can be used as a path to the soul. Forming an asana is talking to God. Also, be mindful of what you are putting into your body. The human body is a manifestation of God. Honor it.

Via Olhar Budista // O Budismo, a Homossexualidade e as questões LGBT

"Essa conduta (hetero ou homoafetiva) gera sofrimento para as partes envolvidas? Essa conduta gera apego para as partes envolvidas? Essa conduta gera raiva para as partes envolvidas? Se a resposta for NÃO para as 3 perguntas, de acordo com a doutrina budista e os ensinamentos tradicionais ensinados pelo Honrado do Mundo, a conduta não é imprópria."

Neste post, Rev. Mauricio Hondaku e Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche esclarecem o ponto de vista budista sobre a homossexualidade. É também disponibilizado uma ligação para vários textos explanativos do Ven. S. Dhammika.

Buddhists have a role to play… in creating a different vision of America that is from the start about multiplicity and not singularity, from the start about interdependence.

Via Daily Dharma: Sitting with the Unpredictable

Right concentration does not want us to get attached to it. It does not want us to turn it into an object of worship. Use it to free yourself, but don’t turn it into another thing. Allow it to remain unpredictable.

Via Coisa do Japão // Templo budista em Saitama realiza casamentos LGBTQIA+

Saimyouji, em Saitama, torna-se o segundo templo budista conhecido no Japão a promover abertamente casamentos LGBTQIA+, seguindo o exemplo do templo Shunkoin de Kyoto.

No Japão há templos e santuários em praticamente todo lugar. Apesar disso, menos de 40% da população japonesa se identifica com alguma religião, sendo que a maioria deles se afirma budista.
Atualmente, pode-se dizer que os templos budistas operam mais como negócios do que como local para receber orientação espiritual. Ao contrário do budismo na Índia, onde a religião se originou, o budismo japonês é mais conhecido como “budismo fúnebre”, pois em muitos casos apenas os serviços funerários estão disponíveis ao público.

O templo Saimyouji, em Kawagoe, Saitama-ken, com uma história de quase 800 anos pretende se destacar do resto graças aos esforços de seu recém-nomeado sacerdote chefe Senda Akihiro.

Senda Akihiro, 57º sacerdote-chefe de Saimyouji, passou dois anos na Índia estudando e praticando o budismo sob a orientação de seu mentor indiano antes de herdar o templo de seu pai.

“Quero abrir meu templo para todo mundo, seja japonês ou estrangeiro”, diz Senda em entrevista ao site Tokyo Weekender. “O objetivo de todas as religiões, incluindo o budismo, é ajudar as pessoas.”
