This morning while I was on the cushion an old insight came to visit me. A while I go I realized that what I do on the cushion effects what I do off the cushion and what I do off the cushion effects what I do on the cushion. This insight and getting back to the Four Noble Truths are the foundation upon which I need to build my practice.
I've been a little distracted lately and I have not been standing on that foundation. I've kind of been all over the place spiritually; chasing every 2012 book or article, obsessing over the signs of the times etc. etc. I realized today that I need to get back to the basics and that will be my goal.
About Me
- Rafael
- I am just trying to make my way in the world without causing any harm while I am here. It is a noble task that I hope to get better at with each passing day. I currently write several blogs. NoThinker is my social activist blog. Running for CRSF is a blog I started when I wanted to track my training for my first half marathon race which I ran in Sept‘08. I also used this experience to raise money for an orphanage in Sri Lanka. My Meditation Journal is where I chronicle my thoughts and experiences with meditation. I hope that something here touches you and enriches your life. I learn best when I learn from others so all comments are welcome.
