“Many people suffer deeply and they do not know they suffer. They try to cover up the suffering by being busy. Many people get sick today because they get alienated from Mother Earth.
The practice of mindfulness helps us to touch Mother Earth inside of the body and this practice can help heal people. So the healing of the people should go together with the healing of the Earth and this is the insight and it is possible for anyone to practice." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"We have constructed a system we can't control. It imposes itself on us, and we become its slaves and victims. We have created a society in which the rich become richer and the poor become poorer, and in which we are so caught up in our own immediate problems that we cannot afford to be aware of what is going on with the rest of the human family or our planet Earth. In my mind I see a group of chickens in a cage disputing over a few seeds of grain, unaware that in a few hours they will all be killed." - Thich Nhat Hanh

“May we find ways to live more simply in order to have more time and energy to change the system of injustice that exists in the world.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Just hit 3k days in a row on my #meditation app, Insight Timer.
Anyone could do it, I think, though I’d be lying if I said it didn’t take focus and dedication to avoid missing even a single day.
I confess I wasn’t 100% mindful for all or even the majority of those 118,851 minutes, but for every minute I made the effort, I was duly rewarded, and I don’t regret a single one.
☸️ May we all find peace in the here and now 🙏🏻
May you be happy.
May you be at ease.
May you be free from suffering.
"If there is Right Mindfulness, there must be Wrong Mindfulness. Wrong Mindfulness is where mindfulness is separate from the rest of the Eight-Fold Path. Where mindfulness is separate from Right Action or Right Livelihood." https://plumvillage.app/what-is-mcmindfulness/ #Dharma #Interbeing #Mindfulness #Meditation #PlumVillage #BuddhaGang #EngagedBuddhism #RecoveryDharma #SanghaInTheStreets @dharma @engagedbuddhism @bodhisattvaway @buddhagang @recoverydharma @plumvillage

When the Buddha was asked to describe his experience of awakening he said, “What I have awoken to is deep, quiet and excellent. But,” he continues, “People love their place. It’s hard for people who love, delight and revel in the fixed views and places of absolute certainty, to see interdependence.” https://michaelstoneteaching.com/remaining-human-a-buddhist-perspective-on-occupy-wall-street/

In times of social stress or authoritarian momentum, Tonglen intervenes before ideology, at the level of felt experience.
It trains you to:
- feel fear without becoming cruel
- feel anger without dehumanizing
- feel grief without collapsing
- feel vulnerability without shutting down
This is why tonglen is not passive.
It is anti-brutalization training.
It prevents you from becoming what you oppose.

The chaos and cognitive dissonance are really wearing on me. How are folks keeping up the energy and focus on so many fronts? How do you stay awake while so many seem to be numbing out in the face of growing need?

As all this unravels, I am seeing different patterns.
One that is coming to mind as I notice it grow is, "It's the people who you wouldn't have expected," or "The people doing it are the ones' you'd expect not to be doing this."
Another one I'm finding is, "To keep my sanity these days I have to remind myself that for as long as I can remember, I have been trying to help. As I drown in all the shit and corruption and cruelty."
A helpful discussion on Dzögchen practice in modern life.

"There is no time limit for taking care of ourselves, sharing space, mourning, grieving, and otherwise commiserating. In fact, it may even be most beneficial to slow to a snail’s pace so that we can realign, sleep, reclaim peace and homeostasis and prevent more premature death. What happens when breath reveals a different more sustainable path to liberation?" https://forgeorganizing.org/article/collective-breathing-post-election-grief-organizing-and-surviving-with-a-disability/ #USPol #Disability #DisabilityRights #Organizing #RecoveryDharma #EngagedBuddhism
