Such loses of mindfulness are referred to as attacks by “dons.” Because of such losses of mindfulness, we act in ways that are not kind to oneself, to others, or to theenvironment.

All you need to do is write a short paragraph or two SEVEN-LINE SUPPLICATION TO PADMAKARA This is the mind of Padmasambhava, who is also known by the name Padmakara. The Seven-Line Supplication is a famous prayer to Padmasambhava, a powerful yogi renowned in Tibet as the “Second Buddha”. Padmasambhava’s exact dates are unclear, but THE NATURE OF COMMUNITY At its inception, society is the interaction between two people. In its most basic form, it is birth. We might grow up to have painful interactions, to experience trauma and difficulty, but our lives began with someone else saving us, again and again. Our lives began with compassion. In this sense, compassion is the heart of community; it is SHAMBHALA IN THE KALACHAKRA TANTRA The History of the Kalachakra. The Kalachakra is an encyclopedic collection of vajrayana Buddhist knowledge, including material on astrology, the human body, ritual, and meditation practice. The Kalachakra tradition gained prominence in India sometime in the early 11th century, making it the last of the tantric traditions to developin India.

Filed under Community Articles THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH POWER AND WISDOM, WE’VE JUST FORGOTTEN HOWTO SEE AND FEEL IT.
_By Halleluiah Strongheart_ With all of the challenges going on in the world today it’s easy to feel like everything is doomed and that humanity is to blame. From the mishandling of the Covid pandemic, to police brutality and the climate crisis, the evidence that we are somehow failing feels undeniable. There could even be the sentiment that if human beings were not here on earth, everything would be fine. There is a prevailing feeling that we don’t belong and we have forgotten who we are in the natural order of things. I’ve heard it said that the Corona virus was created by the earth to “shake off” human beings. In this atmosphere it’s hard not to feel embarrassed about being a human being and a sense of hopelessness about how we’ll all survive together on this small blue planet. What is being called for is at this moment is a remembrance of what’s sacred and true. Of course we could say that’s different for everyone, and to a certain extent that’s true; but it’s important, especially in times of crisis, to connect with the self-existing sacredness that pervades all of life and existence. By self-existing I mean no one is responsible for creating it or maintaining it. It doesn’t belong to any one tradition or belief system. The world is filled with power and wisdom, we’ve just forgotten how to see and feel it. When we are in nature we are reminded of it: the way the light falls on the grass and trees, the way the water sparkles, the sounds of birds and wildlife. _This power and wisdom exists in things as they are. _ Continue… _Read our Mission Statement » _ *SITE ARCHIVES »

GOOD SOCIETY PART II: FEELING THE GOODNESS Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash The second part of a two-part series by Shastri Russell Rodgers. For part one, click here. In Part I of this two-part essay, we looked at the genetics behind the universal human impulse to create good society. The logic was this: everywhere there are humans, we form society. Therefore, it must be in our genes. The first part of this essay was basically a book review of Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society, by Nicholas Christakis, a Yale professor. Dr. Christakis proposes that encoded in our genes is a “social suite” that is common to all societies that are able to survive the test of time and circumstance. This “suite” includes : good leadership (and respect for that leadership), cooperation, ...continue
