    Reflection: The Support of Joy

    his reflection considers the strengthening qualities of joy, love, and happiness in the face of very challenging times.  I draw heavily from a beautiful short talk and meditation by one of my favorite teachers, Yongey Mingur Rinpoche, on Insight Timer. From the Dhammapada, translated by Thomas Byron: Live in joy, in love , even among those who hate. Live in joy, in health, even among the afflicted. Live in joy, in peace, even among the troubled. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, the sweet joy of the way.

    Sitting Meditation- True Home

    This meditation draws heavily from a short talk and guided meditation by Yongey Mingur Rinpoche: “Looking for happiness is love. Looking to not have a problem is compassion. Self love, self compassion are right here right now— please appreciate that.”

    Sitting Meditation- “Meditation Is Love”

    “Don’t meditate to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself. In this way there is no longer any need for the subtle aggression of self-improvement, for the endless guilt of not doing enough. It offers the possibility of an end to the ceaseless round of trying so hard that wraps so many people’s lives in a knot. Instead there is now meditation as an act of love. How endlessly delightful and encouraging.”  Bob Sharples, from Meditation: Calming the Mind Dipa Ma, the beloved teacher of Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield and others summed this very simply: “Meditation is love.” How do we embody this in our practice now?   Please note: no talk this week.

    Reflections on Practice: Openings

    I took five weeks away from CCM for “family need.” What I quickly learned was that I needed the time out of my usual pace of life just as much as anyone in my family. Today’s sharing is reflections on what time and space can open.

    Sitting Meditation- Grounding And Opening

    There is a normal ebb and flow in all parts of life, including our meditation practice. We can learn to move with the naturalness of opening and closing by allowing body, breath, and senses to be a home anchor as needed.
