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. Joanna Macy, “Karma and the Energy of Will” CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE

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. Take part » With prayers for peace, Project 108, Gelephu Mindfulness City, Bhutan Questions? Please contact 108@gmc.bt

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.

I have much gratitude for Daily Dharma. Each offering is like a seed, growing into a forest. I keep each and every quote, so I can explore this forest and learn from the trees how to be in this world. It's a hard time to be a human, and every quote is like a lamp of hope and a guidepost. –Daily Dharma reader

Experiential Aspiration

Zen’s aspiration is experiential, not academic. You don’t have to prove the existence of a god before you commit yourself to living a good life. Otherwise, you may never get started. Geoff Dawson, “Moral Philosophy and Zen” CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE
