Life is FRAGILE


You may think that you are able to duplicate your face, your self, your life like a plastic mold. In reality there is never duplication. Everything is fresh and fragile. Please take care of everything.

Taking care of rubber toys, preciously

This morning I am getting ready to go to a 7 hour class that will last for 20 days...imagine that! Of course that is not so helpful to look out into the future like that...it's like gorging on food or bingeing. I want to hear the moth fluttering against the window as it attempts to free itself...to see the black thin-legged spider on the towel... to smell the cooking apples, to pick up the wet, gummy squeaky toy that Henry drops over and over again asking me to play...

When the mind is full of gorged ideas, or when we binge on the future we are consumed and miss the precious sticky rubber toys that continously roll in front of us. Now and again and again.

The first preliminary: life is precious

The Jackpot: A Human Birth


The practice of training the mind begins with your attitude. It begins by requesting that you take a look at your posture in your day to day life. In order to train your mind you need a posture of gratitude. To be able to see for yourself how lucky you are and to be able to use all your senses to receive the teachings that surround you. To position yourself in your daily tasks in such a way that you see, touch, taste, hear, smell and know how lucky you are to be born a human being. It's a posture of hitting the jackpot no matter what the circumstances. It's knowing it with every move you make.

Training the Mind


Will begin again to go through each slogan. This time will write a short paragraph for each one. This practice is slow, deeply going into the heart of this teaching.
To see clearly, taking a look, clearing our vision.
