If you missed Julia's visit to Q***r Dharma last fall, you are in luck. She'll be back this month. We all really enjoyed having her, so naturally we're excited that she'll be making time for us once again. Julia is a professor and noted meditation instructor with a long history of practicing the Dharma in addition to being a founding voice of Q***r Dharma.

Even before we start noticing that clarity, Trungpa Rinpoche urges us further into the ungainly: “Don’t be afraid of being a fool; start as a fool. The techniques of meditation practice are not designed to reduce active thoughts at all. They provide a way of coming to terms with everything that goes on inside. . . . When we begin to find the spiky quality in ourselves, we see it as antispirituality and try to push it away. This is the biggest mistake of all in working with our basic psychological patterns.”

From the forward to Trungpa's The Sanity We Are Born With

These came up in a discussion after an open meditation the other day. When in doubt, you can't go wrong with the four immeasurables, aka four limitless qualities, aka four divine abodes.

"Compassion, a heartfelt yearning that others not suffer, is the core of the whole enterprise. The more we know the groundlessness of experience, the more we see that it is not necessary to struggle with what we experience. That understanding takes expression as compassion, not as a felt sentiment but as how we live our lives. 'Awakening mind' (bodhicitta) is the life force of all beings. What does awakening mind do? For Jigme Lingpa, awakening mind, this empty clarity that manifests as compassion, is what animates all beings. This is probably the one article of faith in Buddhism. In the end we do take care of each other."
