Cinta speaks: October 2013
http://cintaspeaks.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 31, 2013. Saba ka mangala - May all be happy. Yesterday I received an email from the guiding Vipassana group, with a link to a lengthy newsletter devoted to this wonderful man. I wish I could share the link, but the site is password protected and while everyone who has ever completed a 10-day course anywhere in the world knows the login, we are asked not to divulge it, and I honor that request. I found it truly worthwhile to read. 8220;So much has been said for and against conversion...

Spiritual Musings: Blank Page
http://uposatha.blogspot.com/2013/12/blank-page.html
Here you will find postings on Virtue, Concentration and Renunciation. A blank page is symbolic of awakening, and the path that gets you there. It does not have any preconceived notions about what message it will receive. Nor does it spend any time dwelling on what has happened in the past. It is plain, beautifully simple, and empty. How does one achieve such simplicity within the confines of a complex human life? The Buddha suggests that we can. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Image by Jay Franco.

Spiritual Musings: January 2014
http://uposatha.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Here you will find postings on Virtue, Concentration and Renunciation. What is the common factor that causes people to cheat on their partner? I trust that most will find a complex answer to this. Some venture out because of abuse, emotional or physical dissatisfaction, the excitement of something new or forbidden. That is of course assuming the people involved are even aware of their actions at all. I’ve heard of circumstances where they claimed it just happened unexpectedly. I can never know the conten...

Spiritual Musings: January 2013
http://uposatha.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Here you will find postings on Virtue, Concentration and Renunciation. My weekend was filled with pain/difficulty. But that is only 1/3 of any experience. There is also (1/3)pleasure/ease, and (1/3)neither-pleasure-nor-pain. The problem is that I’ve spent the majority of my life clutching and labeling pain. So it is the first one to jump out at attention based upon my old Karma. I've made many strides with my practice. So why can't I enjoy this progress? It's very difficult to accept where I am. The ...

Spiritual Musings: Myself
http://uposatha.blogspot.com/2013/10/myself.html
Here you will find postings on Virtue, Concentration and Renunciation. Patience, endurance and more control over my speech are the biggest obstacles in my way at this time. I can see it all too clearly in the way I relate to myself. The voices that come up when I try to motivate myself are very cruel and impatient. That is why it so important that I practice with everyone else, what I wish to practice with myself. PS I've heard rumors that you ain't all that bad. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Cinta speaks: Believe nothing
http://cintaspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/05/believe-nothing.html
Saturday, May 23, 2015. One of the first things I learned, in my first ever meditation retreat where I heard my first Buddhist teachings (a 10-day Goenka. Retreat many years ago), was that we should not accept the teachings blindly, that they were intended to be used experientially. They only asked that we try it with an open mind and see for ourselves whether or not the teachings and practice were beneficial to us. Including ourselves first and foremost. There is no 'idol worship' involved. I've...We le...

ZenWarrior42: March 2016
http://zenwarrior42.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2016. You better keep your head little girl,. Or you won't know where I am. You better run for your life if you can, little girl.". The Beatles, "Run for Your Life". Narcs DO NOT let go easily if they aren't the ones cutting the cord. If you are going or have attempted to go NO CONTACT, you learn this lesson quickly. It is literally Baby Steps. Breaking the mental and emotional hold your abuser has over you can be one of the biggest battles you may ever fight. A 2011 National Intimat...

Spiritual Musings: September 2013
http://uposatha.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Here you will find postings on Virtue, Concentration and Renunciation. Be Generous or Thirsty. Anyone that wishes to be released from the clutches of fear, addiction, anxiety, lust, anger or obsession would do well to listen closely. Generosity must be your foundation. We must live as if life depends on skillful acts of kindness. Our happiness depends on it. Begin with generosity towards others, and then take joy in those acts. But there is always another way. I also see this in spiritual communities....

ZenWarrior42: Lotus Flower...
http://zenwarrior42.blogspot.com/2016/04/lotus-flower.html
Monday, April 18, 2016. You held me down, but I got up,. Already brushing off the dust. You hear my voice, you hear that sound,. Like thunder, gonna shake the ground. You held me down, but I got up,. Get ready 'cause I've had enough,. I see it all, I see it now.". Katy Perry, "Roar". As Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "No mud, no lotus.". Without suffering, there is no growth. Without hurt and struggle, there cannot be beauty. Why did I put up with his/her bullshit for so long? Why do I still miss him/her? Establ...
