Via Daily Dharma: The Constantly Changing Self

 

 
The Constantly Changing Self

Because it is altered by each act, wise or foolish, fearful or brave, the self, even as decision-maker, is doomed as an enduring entity. Constantly changing, it arises and passes. Yet in that very evanescence lies promise.

Via Daily Dharma: Learning to Stand on Your Own

 

 
Learning to Stand on Your Own

Every challenge we encounter is an opportunity to learn to stand on our own again, grounded and immovable by any external force, unperturbed by inner grasping or turmoil.

Via Tricycle: The Buddhist Review \\ Sponsored: 108 Stupas in One Day—An Offering of Peace for the World Inbox

 
BUDDHIST WISDOM TO LIVE BY

Sponsored Message from Project 108, Gelephu Mindfulness City:
108 Stupas. One Day. One World.

On November 1st, 2026, under a Royal Initiative of His Majesty the King of Bhutan, 108 stupas (Jangchub Chortens) will be raised in a single day.

What a stupa is

A stupa is prayer given physical form. Its shape traces the path from earth to enlightenment. Inside, each is sealed with sacred texts, relics, and blessed substances. Once consecrated, it is no longer stone and earth but a presence, radiating blessing and peace to all who pass by.
​
Along the Mau River, 108 of them, each fifteen meters tall, will stand in a procession twelve kilometers long. Work that would ordinarily take years will be completed together in a single day.
​
Why one day

When tens of thousands of hands hold one intention and act in one moment, the act itself becomes the offering. At a moment when so much pulls the world apart, the most powerful thing we can do may be the simplest: to come together and show that another way is possible. The stupas will remain for centuries. The raising of them, together, is the prayer.
​
An invitation
​
Wherever in the world you are, join us on November 1st by live broadcast. As the stupas rise, set your own intention for peace and let it rise with them—one of thousands that day, across every border. Sign up to receive the link. If you wish, an offering of any size becomes part of the whole—the stupas, their sacred contents, their consecration—and may be dedicated to a loved one or all beings.
​
However far away you are, we hope you will join us in this shared vision.
With prayers for peace,

Project 108, Gelephu Mindfulness City, Bhutan

Via Daily Dharma: Meditate on the Body

 

 
Meditate on the Body

When we are aware of all the intricate processes and parts that make up our bodies, we are less likely to identify the overall image as “me.” Disdain for our bodies is, in fact, born not of detachment but of identification.
