No Person is an Island
29 May
In this entangled universe, we cannot do violence to our fellow human beings or our fellow inhabitants of the Earth without doing violence to ourselves. And the most effective way to benefit oneself may be to benefit others.
We are participants in the creation drama that is constantly unfolding. We are constantly co-creating and re-creating ourselves and other organisms in the universe, shaping our common futures, making our dreams come true, and realizing our potentials and our ideals. Mae Wan Ho
Spiritual Ego Transformation
23 May
Through the ego transformation process, by understanding the inter-being of all existence, our attention sees beyond our limited representative ego and is no longer directed to only our wellbeing but also the wellbeing of all of life’s manifestations. By listening to and responding to the ‘inner voice’ of the original mind, our ego becomes the transformative device to realize this natural actualization. Indeed, mindful, reflective awareness does not occur by the insistence of the ego, but by the promptings to realization originating from the original mind. We are all potential Buddha to the extent that we consciously participate in giving creative expression to our initially intuitive promptings of the original mind. This is the ultimate promise of the Buddha’s middle way relapse prevention program – to end the conditions, which create the tragedy of our suffering.
