Just Sitting or Is There More to It?

Buddhism, as a healing art rather than a religion, in its therapeutic mandate of healing human suffering, takes the path of getting rid, not of the Suffering, but of the Sufferer...nnLet me clarify...nnBuddhism, in its strategic (long-term) rather than tactical (short-term) mandate, is not a "feel-good" endeavor, it's a "feel-nothing" endeavor: "According to Buddhism, the pleasure/pain mechanism keeps people locked into a self-perpetuating cycle of conditioned existence .

Spirituality – Inspirational Stories ( Part 2 )

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind.

“Should We Have Compassion… For Some People and Not Others?”

I was confronted with someone the other day who was angry. He’s usually very composed and never upset. But today he was ranting and raving that someone hurt his feelings. And I asked him: Should we only have compassion for special people? Are We to Have Compassion for Those Who Hurt Us? It’s really easy to have compassion for people who are kind and loving. But compassion is more than just caring for those we love. Even the Dalai Lama has compassion for those who took his country away. Are We to Have Compassion for Those Who Do Evil?

15 Ways to Change Your Thoughts and Transform Your Life

The nature of our thoughts determines the quality of our life-whether it is sad, happy and contented.

External and Internal Conditions for the Practice of Meditation

Swami Vivekananda, in his lectures on Raja Yoga, describes what we may call the “mind stuff”, citta, which tends to be always disturbed as impressions, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, emotions create ripples, as a breeze will create ripples on the surface of a lake. He goes on to describe the need to bring this “mind stuff” to a state of quiescence as an essential condition for gaining control over the mental processes. This is a preliminary stage to the eventual development of concentration and samadhi, the ‘yogic trance’.

Scientists frequently comment on the changes in primates that accompanied the development of man, the mental being.

Kabbalah - What Will Make Us Happy?

We may cite such reasons as having a warm home, a family, a job, food on the table - something not everyone on this planet can claim- and since there are people much worse off than us, then surely we must be happy. nnFor some, happiness may not be in the picture.

Materialism

Materialism has entangled us so much that we don’t even realize that we have become slave of so many not-so-essential things.

Creativity and living systems – Networks – Relationships

`Over the past thirty years, a new systemic conception of life has emerged at the forefront of science. New emphasis has been given to complexity, networks, and patterns of organisation leading to a novel kind of ‘systemic’ thinking. `The view of living systems as networks provides a novel perspective on the so-called “hierarchies” of nature. Since living systems at all levels are networks, we must visualize the web of life as living systems (networks) interacting in network fashion with other systems (networks).

Understanding the Role and Nature of the Gods in the Universal Creation

It is quite natural for human beings to extrapolate the nature of the universe and the meaning of existence from the limited set of facts and information that we perceive and organize in our normal mental-logical process. Yet there is so much that falls outside the scope of these perceptions and modes of understanding that we clearly miss the much wider significance that the creation holds. In our limited view, we judge everything by the way our world appears to work.
