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 🙏🏻

"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

"McMindfulness" has been coined as a criticism of a commercial form of mindfulness separate from its Buddhist roots. The antidote is "Right Mindfulness".

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/

Remaining Human: A Buddhist Perspective on Occupy Wall Street - Michael Stone

A man stands on a bench in Zuccotti Park on Wall Street and chants a phrase from a meeting last night: “We don’t want a higher standard of living, we want a better standard of living.” He’s w…

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."
