    How Easy to be Pulled Away - How Wonderful to Return

    I've been on the road since June 30. Not all of it has been work. There were 5 days with my step-daughter, her hubby and the 3 year old over July 4. Still, I haven't been home. I've been keeping very long hours for work, and I've been away from any recognizable routine. Part of the missing...

    Recently Dan Rather interviewed the Dalai Lama and Mingyur Rinpoche in his Dan Rather Reports : Mind Science on the interface between mind science and Buddhist practice.

It always wakes me up to pay attention to what is going on, and usually, it is fear expressing itself as self-protection (self-absorption), or avoidance of the situation. When I am not being reactive, I actually try to use that feeling as a geiger counter...

    Discuss: Garuda Contemplation

    Equanimity is an interesting and wonderful place to live in. I enter it at times, and life seems so easy and joyful. It is a space of possibilities and I am not stopped by seeming problems.
