Mindfulness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • is a spiritual or psychological faculty (indriya) that, according to the teaching of the Buddha, is considered to be of great importance in the path to enlightenment.
  • Enlightenment (bodhi) is a state of being in which greed, hatred and delusion (Pali: moha) have been overcome, abandoned and are absent from the mind. Mindfulness, which, among other things, is an attentive awareness of the reality of things (especially of the present moment) is an antidote to delusion and is considered as such a 'power'

  • Western Buddhism can be understood as a “culture of awakening,”
  • rather than a religion
  • To “wake up” existentially involves acting upon four “ennobling” tasks,
  • embrace dukkha (suffering, pain or unsatisfactoriness); let go of craving for things
  • nvolves caring for oneself and others.
  • he great risk of the engagement with mindfulness in the West, whether through Buddhist Studies or Psychology, is that it is taken as an object of study, to be written about, rather than as something to do or be.
  • Introspective observation is what we have to rely on first and foremost and always. The word introspection need hardly be defined – it means, of course, the looking into our own minds and reporting what we there discover. Every one agrees that we there discover states of consciousness (p. 185; emphasis in original).

  • This action of the right hand can be described as based in the the mind of non-discrimination. The right hand looks after the left hand without thinking in a discriminatory way, "I am the right hand. I am taking care of the left hand. There is no thought such as that. There is no sort of discrimination like that. Therefore the right hand acts in a non-discriminatory way. There are moments when the right hand cooperates with the left hand to do something, like playing on the piano; both hands work together in order to produce the music, and there is a perfect harmony between the two hands. Therefore, if you look deeply into your body, into your mind, you will see that the mind of non-discrimination, the spirit of non-discrimination is already there in your own person. And if you use this spirit in your relationships with others, then happiness is possible.

      This paragraph is just teeming with Buddhism and I just love it. The Placement of this just helps with the overall feel of the article
  • In the past, I was not very fond of ordaining people or having disciples. I tried to avoid that, especially when I saw that there were many other teachers. But during my visit last year, I changed my idea. We have to support each other, and the practice of the precepts is very important to help us. We do not practice meditation alone. We practice with a teacher and with friends

      I remember having a conversation about meditating alone in class and I agree 100% it requires a group
