Via Daily Dharma: Warm Up for Meditation

Take the time [you] need to prepare the body for meditation. By doing so, we invite the breath to become our closest ally—one we can rely on to inform us about and eventually lead us back to the spaciousness right here and now.

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.

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.
