Showing Up Together

Posted by Madrone Phoenix on May 2, 2012 at 5:38pm 1 Comment

Last night was our final class for the summer - we'll begin again ..and again, and again, and again.. in September (or more accurately, in each precious moment!). 

And that was just it..sitting together we were reminded of our practice. We were reminded of all we have come together to collectively, and individually, work on.

It was a very settled kind of class, one in which we could, at times, even hear a pin drop. We could certainly hear those same men - the…

Today was the Theravadin gathering and there were 14 folks present. We did an abbreviated form of the Theravadin chants and meditated for 15 minutes. The topic of conversation today was vipashyana and relative bodhicitta. I reviewed a class we had several weeks ago that emphasized absolute bodhicitta and shamatha practice. Then we dug into the notions of relative bodhichitta and…

I have been reading DEEP & Simple, Bo Lozoff, as when I visited a prison Chaplain last January, I had my eye on some of the available books to take with us [inmates],and I asked the Chaplain to select a couple of books for me, that would aim to a Buddhist approach. He chose the very book that first caught my eye,"WE'RE ALL Doing TIME".I have been oh so glad he chose that and very glad Bo and Sita are who they have been this lifetime ..power tools for a balanced life.I have kept reading…
