A peaceful refuge in the eye of the storm Serious Vipassana Meditator. Radiator of Metta, Bastion of Equanimity. Nomad. It's a practice. #Mahasi #Vipassana #Meditation #Metta #Mindfulness #Buddhism #Jhana #BeHappy #BeKind #itsapractice

Another reminder, for myself as much as anyone, to radiate kindness towards all beings.

You are safe here.

May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free.

#metta
Once again I am posting to remind myself to practice #metta... All day long, remembering to radiate kindness to everyone I see.

May you be happy!
I have a hard time switching from #Vipassana to #metta - or at least remembering to practice metta. I voice recorded the Metta Sutta (attached ) to play back to myself a few times a day as a reminder.

May you all be happy and kind

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.
Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
Break habits!

Start the day by thinking "may you be happy, healthy, peaceful, free"

...Aiming that intention towards all beings equally, including yourself.

Whatever is happening in the world is happening. You have a choice of how your inner world looks.
May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free

Despite external conditions

You cannot reach a state of mind that is calm, equanimous and compassionate through means that are rushed and full of stress.

Find joy in your practice and be patient.

May you all be peaceful on this perfect day. Everything is just as it is.

Be happy! Be mindful. #metta
I chose metta over money. I'm going on an intensive #metta #jhana retreat for 3.5 months starting in Dec.

May you all be happy, healthy, peaceful and free!
Wavering between going on retreat for 3.5 months early next year, or working harder and earning more. This is the first time I haven't been 100% all in that the retreat is the better option.

I'll decide on Wednesday.

HUGE peaceful joyful march in Seattle
Spiritual practice does not exempt you from participating in Democracy, social movements etc.

Yes, it's good to drop out at times and focus inwards. But this is partly to build strength, equanimity and clear vision so you can act more effectively in the world.

Hope everyone will be getting out tomorrow to support Democracy and rule of law.

No Kings!

#BeHappy. Be Peaceful. Be firm. Be strong.

Just finished leading a 10 day #Vipassana retreat. It was so rewarding to connect to people in this way and to offer a gift that will help them for the rest of their lives. Such a good use of 10 days!

I am radiating #metta to you all.

May you all #BeHappy
Airport #metta

Watching all the people and wishing:

May you be happy
May you be healthy
May you be at ease

Like a light shining equally on everyone. May you #BeHappy
Taking a red-eye to a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat that begins tomorrow evening. It's time to give back.

May the yogis practice well and gain the Dhamma on this retreat!

May you all be happy! #metta
