Practicing mindfulness meditation creates a steady, calm space so that what used to overwhelm me is far more manageable. I understand from my own observation that what I am feeling in the moment is like a passing cloud....

His dark prediction about the future has become our present.
ozziegontang's insight:

Buddha talking to the people of Kalama told them to be skeptical of all those who come and say they have the truth or use their authority, knowledge, wisdom to persuade others that they hold the truth. Read the Kalama Sutra.  He ends up by saying:


"However, after thorough observation, investigation, analysis and reflection, when you find that anything agrees with reason and your experience, and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, and of the world at large; accept only that as true, and shape your life in accordance with it; and live up to it."


These words, the Buddha went on to say, must be applied to his own teachings.

Via Brenda Bentley
ozziegontang's insight:

When one is had by their Vision and is working on their competence of accepting themselves and at the same time with the commitment to be better tomorrow than I was today at being me and being better at the work I do it changes one's perspective. 


We each have a unique contribution because no one has had another person's experience. Being present. Being aware. Being intentional. Mindfulness like any human endeavor is about practice. Regular practice.  No matter how I am feeling it is there as my teaching.  Can I slow myself down? Can I focus on doing here doing what I need to be doing.  We are mindful  or mind full.  It is always a choice

Though a well-recognized fixture around several of the city’s chuches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

A Very Bad Idea That Millions of People Believe

A Very Bad Idea That Millions of People Believe | Mindfulness.com - A Practice | Scoop.it
From www.linkedin.com - April 3, 2014 12:34 PM

For the first time since the field of psychology formally became a science, which was only a century ago, serious attention is being paid to happiness. 

ozziegontang's insight:

Some good reflections by Deepak Chopra.


Often we think of happiness as a destination, a place to get to. It's the journey and being in the present in this journey. As every there becomes a here. There exists in my imagination.  As some say it's the only nation many pledge allegiance to.  If things are going to be better tomorrow it also means they are good today. 


Letting go and falling away are interesting concepts.  To Charlie Brown's question may be another question: Is happiness a series of incidents that allow me to see how present I am in dealing with each one. Maybe best to look at happiness as a practice.


I am taking an improv class to go along with the idea that my life is one continual Improv.  In Improv you always say yes and look for the better in the good that is always in front of oneself.  Like the world being on the backs of turtles all the way down.  My life is choices, all the way down. The one that wins is the one I feed.  ozzie Mindfulness.com
