"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/

It may be an outcome it's not the only one, nor is it natural. It adds, as you allude to separateness, which does not exist in the natural world. #Interbeing is normal

"The Shambhala Warrior Prophecy" • Joanna Macy

https://oneearthsangha.org/articles/the-shambala-warrior-prophecy/

> «There comes a time when all life on Earth is in danger. In that time great powers have arisen. Barbarian powers as they’re called. And although they waste their wealth in preparations to annihilate each other, they have much in common. And among the things they have in common are weapons of unfathomable, destructive power and technologies that lay waste to the world. It is just at this point, when the future of all beings hangs by the frailest of threads, that the kingdom of Shambhala emerges.

> Now, you can’t go there, because it’s not a place. It exists in the hearts and minds of the Shambhala warriors. And you can’t tell whether someone is a Shambhala warrior just by looking at them because they wear no uniform or insignia. They have no banners to show which side they’re on, no barricades on which to climb to threaten the enemy or behind which they can rest and regroup. The Shambhala warriors don’t have any home turf. There is only the terrain of the barbarian powers for them to move on, regroup, and use.»

"Today, especially in Western societies, we are in the midst of a major turning point where the very notion of “humanity” is being reexamined. As AI vastly surpasses #human logos—language and intellect—we will inevitably be challenged to cultivate our own capacity to recognize our own perspectives as human beings.
Through the mirror of #ai we are once again confronted with the question of what it means to be human." (Shoukei Matsumoto)
