Whatever arises in your life, in your mind and in your relationships, receive that. It’s so important, but we miss it by the impulsive reaction to the perception. As soon as the leading edge of the negativity shows up, do nothing with it. It might just fall apart without your participation.https://youtu.be/D9H05PZhBFo…

Enlightened means awake or realized. An outflow is usually seen as something negative that happens when we react to something we don’t like with anger and blame because all we see is the simple cause and effect. Don’t do anything unless you have to. You’re going to have to train your mind to see this.https://youtu.be/tsUJYW8l_Os…

There are many examples of skillful disruption in our lineage. Sometimes the disconnect can be so strong that the gap between concepts and seeing can’t be bridged through intellect.

We’re looking for any reference point by which to gauge our meditation practice and try to derive meaning. Thoughts are so addicting and seductive, we feel we need to do something with them.

“Don’t waste your time” comes from the last lines of the Sandokai. How this shows up for each person will be so different. Maybe it’s working at a job you hate, or a relationship you think you can’t get out of.
