Great clip from Sarah Rinyo giving a Dharma Talk at once of our recent meetings. What a great reminder: "What do I have right now?" Instead of "what am I missing?"

Sometimes people describe the Buddhist term "non-self" with the analogy of a footprint in the snow. The footprint is essentially empty . . . in other words there is no actual footprint there - just the impression left by the actions of the foot against the snow.

It's so important (not only on Juneteenth but every day) to support Black-owned businesses. If you are here in the Apex, NC area please be sure to check out The Mocha Room (themocharoom.com)! If you live elsewhere, be sure to look for Black-owned businesses near you!
May all beings be happy. May all beings be well. May all beings be peaceful. May all beings be FREE. Happy Juneteenth - Freedom Day.

Some of the best Dharma quotes come from physicists!

*Note: this quote is often erroneously expanded with parts that Einstein didn't say. But this version is a translation directly from the source material (a letter that Eintsein wrote in German).

#buddhism #oneness #noself #Einstein
A human being is a spatially and temporally limited piece of the whole, which we call 'universe'. He experiences himself and his feelings as separate from the rest, an optical illusion of his consciousness. The striving for liberation from this bondage [or illusion] is the only subject of true religion. Not nurturing the illusion but only overcoming it gives us the attainable measure of inner peace. Albert Einstein

This quote is from Thanissara's 2015 book "Time to Stand Up". She is speaking about environmental concerns here but the quote feels like it could have equally been written about today's political situation!
#buddhism #namuamidabutsu #buddha #dharma #oneness #mindfulness #Thanissara #engagedbuddhism
. . . what value is all this meditation and mindfulness if we just sit by and let the world burn? The old premise "getting involved in politics is inappropriate" isn't going to hold ground when the ground beneath us is disappearing . . . If we just sit this out, our "equanimity" will become indifference, our focus on personal awakening will be revealed as self-absorption, and our seeking of peaceful, mindful moments will become willful avoidance and denial. ~Thanissara
