If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.
Krishnamurti (via thecalminside)
The Path of Unselfishness
‘A rich man said to the Buddha, “I see you are the Awakened One and I would like to open my mind to you and to ask your advice. My life is full of work, and having made a great deal of money, I am surrounded by cares. I employ many people who depend on me to be successful. However, I enjoy my work and like working hard. But having heard your followers talk of the bliss of a hermit’s life and seeing you as one who gave up a kingdom in order to become a homeless wanderer and find the truth, I wonder if I should do the same. I long to do what is right and to be a blessing to my people. Should I give up everything to find the truth?”
The Buddha replied: “The bliss of a truth-seeking life is attainable for anyone who follows the path of unselfishness. If you cling to your wealth, it is better to throw it away than let it poison your heart. But if you don’t cling to it but use it wisely, then you will be a blessing to people. It’s not wealth and power that enslave men by the clinging to wealth and power.”
“My teaching does not require anyone to become homeless or resign the world unless he wants to, but it does require everyone to free himself from the illusion that he is a permanent self and to act with integrity while giving up his craving for pleasure.”
“And whatever people do, whether in the world or as a recluse, let them put their whole heart into it. Let them be committed and energetic, and if they have to struggle, let them do it without envy or hatred. Let them not live a life of self but a life of truth, and in that way bliss will enter their hearts.”’
- Majjhima Nikaya, in The Buddha Speaks, A book of guidance from the Buddhist Scriptures edited by Anne Bancroft.

The joke of it all is that you are looking from your true nature right now without knowing it. If you would stop being fascinated with the contents of your mind, you would experience what I am saying. Feel your way into what I am saying rather than thinking about it. Only a self-concept looks and longs for God. Drop your self-concept and there is only God meeting God. Enlightenment is the restoration of cosmic humor.

Take a moment just to be still, to be here, regardless of what is passing through you. Recognize that you are the hereness that all is passing through. All the changes, sights, sounds, smells, emotions, thoughts, information, events, births, and deaths are all passing through the ever-present stillness that is here now in the core of your being.

Taking Refuge is one of the most beautiful aspects of the Buddhist meditation practice. We take Refuge in the deep potential of each and every one of us for an inner sense of Freedom, in the Teachings of liberating the mind and heart, and in the sense of Community and Fellowship.

Your Own Noble Heart
‘There is a Buddhist saying that can help strengthen your determination to keep your balance in any challenging situation. It says: “If you can do something to change the circumstances, why be upset about it? And if you cannot do anything about the circumstances, why be upset about it?”
This situation is relevant to all situations in life. If you can do something to improve matters, wonderful. There is no reason to be distressed. On the other hand, there is certainly no point in worrying about something you cannot change. This advice applies when you seek to influence the way your government intervenes in others’ conflicts. It also applies when you are attempting to resolve other people’s conflicts. It applies when you come into conflict with others.
In fact, this advice covers all circumstances in life. Most situations can be changed, but some cannot. Either way, there is no cause to become agitated or feel unhappy. If you really think about this, then when you allow yourself to become disturbed or unhappy, you really cannot say it is someone else or something else making you upset. It is you causing your own unhappiness. Why let yourself become stuck in an untenable position? In situations where change is possible, you work for change; where it is not possible, you accept that fact and work within the bounds of what is possible.
In short, there is no point to being disturbed and unhappy. You only hurt yourself: you do not fix the situation or benefit others. You just make it harder for yourself to access the wholesome resources that you have within your own mind. You just deny yourself access to your own noble heart.’
- The 17th Karmapa, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, The Heart is Noble.

Aromatherapy is a healing art that uses essential oils to create fragrances which positively affect the mind, body, and spirit. The oils are distilled from plants, herbs, trees and flowers which all have their own healing properties. Be selective when choosing your oils. Choose scents that are pleasing to you, as well as capable of aiding any physical, mental, or emotional issues you may be having. Design a scent that will inspire you with joy
Day 10 of #JuneSwoon: Meditation is my happy spot. Whether I need to connect spirituality, or get my physical world in order, sitting in silence reminds me that most times the stress and worry I feel is an illusion. All I have to do is BREATHE and connect to the soul of things, and it’s all gonna be alright.
