Key Themes

slowing down accept v resistance Shifting perspective Suspending judgment Self- compassion

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Slowing down

When we are hurried, stressed, scared we lose touch with our natural compassion. Mindfulness helps us slow down, see clearly and stay connected to our deepest values.

Good Samaritan Study

Acceptance v Resistance

! Suffering arises when we resist what is. ! Mindfulness, instead of trying to change our experience , simply adds the resonance of awareness to what is already here. ! We can accept what is here (because it is already here), see it clearly, and consciously respond.

The bud stands for all things, even for those things that do not flower, for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing; though sometimes it is necessary to reteach a thing its loveliness, to put a hand on its brow and retell it in words and in touch it is lovely until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing Galway Kinnell

Metta Meditation

May I be peaceful May I be happy May I be healthy May I be free

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle

  • f compassion to

embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Buddhist concepts of interpenetration hold that all phenomena are intimately connected; Indra’s net symbolizes a universe where infinitely repeated mutual relations exist between all members of the universe.

All life is interrelated, and we are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.
