notesMay 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.
