How to pursue a spiritual life through abandoning the ego.
the fall of liyue is nothing so grand that it could be called that, considering it hadn’t fallen at all. akechi lived and breathed in the irony of it as he stood upon the peak of mt. tianheng, gaze cast toward the jade chamber, already rebuilt. he eyes the quaint little pinwheel, wondering if it was a shortcut that would allow him direct access to it once activated, and suppresses the morbid desire to see how much it would take to bring it down a second time. pity that neither of them were wielders of anemo and couldn’t find out — but he’d digressed.
childe’s defeat was a minor hitch in the grand scheme of things: their objectives had already been achieved, so it hadn’t mattered all that much in the end. to the tsaritsa, that is.
“ it seems your plan didn’t go so well, ” akechi says, followed by a hum of amusement, “ you’re certain you don’t need me to clean up the mess? ” not that he would, his reveal wasn’t scheduled for another few months if things went to plan, but teasing the older harbinger about his failures was always fun. he doesn’t wait for an answer, eyes crescenting before he continued, “ pity. ah, well, i suppose i can always make myself useful in other ways. conversation over a meal, to start? it’ll be your treat. ”
@renunciate , ♡ : for childe !

"This is where renunciation enters the picture—renunciation of the hope that our experience could be different, renunciation of the hope that we could be better. The Buddhist monastic rules that advise renouncing liquor, renouncing sex, and so on are not pointing out that those things are inherently bad or immoral, but that we use them as babysitters. We use them as a way to escape; we use them to try to get comfort and to distract ourselves. The real thing that we renounce is the tenacious hope that we could be saved from being who we are. Renunciation is a teaching to inspire us to investigate what’s happening every time we grab something because we can’t stand to face what’s coming." Can't get enough of my girl Pema lately.... Recently, I have noticed that social media has been become a "babysitter" for me. I mindlessly scroll to see what others are doing. To make sure I "like" what others are posting so they feel supported. I know exactly what subway stations have reception so that I can hit the refresh button and see how many likes I got on my post. But I can't help but wonder (cue Carrie from SATC voice...) What am I covering up? What am I trying to avoid by filling all of my time up with social media? What would I do with all the minutes hours and days of my life ruled by social media? Whenever you feel addicted to something or that are stuck in a bad habit, it's a beautiful practice to give it up. Well, as of tomorrow : I'm taking a break... giving it up. It may be a week. It may be a month or it may be a year. But I'm taking a break from posting, scrolling and liking. I don't like when I look around and see everyone (including myself) on their phone mindlessly scrolling while crossing the street because there is life to be lived and I don't want to miss it by zoning out on the phone. Can't wait to see what I'm missing!!! If ya want to talk - come to class, email me or call me.

What is a Renunciate?
If you asked me what life comes down to, I would answer that I believe it all comes down to Letting Go. Dynamics between people, situations, emotions, get to the point where it’s just not working or it’s simply intolerable. You don’t feel heard or understood. The way someone chooses to engage is intolerable. You’ve experienced someone doubling back one to many times. A vulnerable trust is broken yet again. Sometimes, actually often, people feel so justified in their actions and it makes it even harder to be at peace within ourselves. You are flat out on the ground waving the white flag from the sheer exhaustion of trying. You’re broken-hearted and disappointed in yourself with how you acted under pressure with throat-choking fear. This all leads to this radical and daring place of Letting Go. Or as it’s called on the spiritual path, Renunciation. From a Buddhist perspective, Renunciation has to do with letting go of holding back. It’s about seeing clearly all the ways we pull away, shut down, close off, hold back, deny, ignore, and then learning how to open. How we actually stay open has to do with coming up against our edge. That’s the moment when we learn what renunciation means. You know how rivers flow down mountains? And then at some point, the flow of the water gets blocked by big logs and boulders? The water can’t move any further, even though it has tremendous force and energy, it just can’t move. That’s what happens with us. We get blocked–out of the fear of the unknown, or fear of what happened in the past, we put up these blocks, these dams that basically say no to life and feeling. How do we let go at these moments? How do we renounce? How do we say yes to opening further and let the water keep flowing, and keep our life-force evolving? How do we not freeze and instead take another step toward the unknown? Whenever you realize you have met your edge, you can be honest with yourself, by just gently acknowledging that you are saying some version of “No”. The whole journey of renunciation, and letting go–which are just two phrases that mean saying yes to life– is realizing you’ve come up against your edge, that every single cell, molecule, bone, neuron within you is saying No, and then at that point softening. The paralyzed quality, and the quality that causes us and others pain, seems to be the hardening or refusing quality. The letting go, or the renunciation of that attitude is simply feeling the whole thing in your heart rather than your head and letting it soften and penetrate you so that you actually sit there with the troubling feelings and let them soften you some more. You feel compassion for your predicament and for the whole human condition. You reach out from inside yourself, the heroine of your own journey of awakening, constantly coming up against big challenges and then learning how to soften, open, and connect. It’s a journey you can be proud of making on behalf of all beings, including of course, yourself. *this post is adapted from the teachings of Pema Chodron.O Renunciation and Letting Go. by BINDU WILES on JULY 17, 2012
