Greetings!

 

Ken McLeodThis Friday we continue Chapter 7 in Ken McLeod's book, Wake Up to Your Life. Topic: Compassion.

The four verses from the Immeasurables Prayer:

Compassion
May I be free of suffering, harm, and disturbance.
May I accept things just as they are.
May I experience the world accepting me just as I am.
May I serve whatever arises.

From Ken:
"When we are not present with what is arising in our lives, then we're reacting to it. And the reaction is always based on resonance with past history, so basically we are reliving the past. It never is really attuned with the present. And because of that mismatch, projection and so forth, then problems arise. And we create suffering for ourselves and others."

After we listen through the entire chapter over the coming weeks, we'll go back and listen to Ken teaching through the Four Immeasurables via six podcast classes, available here: http://www.unfetteredmind.org/category/class/the-four-immeasurables  

Schedule

Quote of the Week


We often wonder what to do about negativity or certain troubling emotions. In the spaciousness of meditation, you can view your thoughts and emotions with a totally unbiased attitude. When your attitude changes, then the whole atmosphere of your mind changes, even the very nature of your thoughts and emotions. When you become more agreeable, then they do; if you have no difficulty with them, they will have no difficulty with you either.

--Sogyal Rinpoche, Glimpse After Glimpse
