Gratefulness
My dear “helpers” in my meditation group have touched my life deeply. They have literally helped me get out of a deep hole of desperation. The meditation method that is all of the world is truly amazing! I recommend it to everyone! Im so grateful!
In the garden of life, the weeds have taught me that we need the mud to grow any kind of flower and that nothing is ever lost.
Grateful eyes look at each thing as if they had never seen it before and caress it as if they would never see it again. The quote of the day from brother David is a beautiful reminder of what each moment is showing us- another quote I love is from Thay: happiness is available, help yourselves to it. I was listing to Thay speaking this morning and he brought up a talk that he had with brother David. He said that he could see that the flower is a manifestation of the kingdom of god....

I was listing to Thay speaking this morning and he brought up a talk that he had with brother David. He said that he could see that the flower is a manifestation of the kingdom of god. The kingdom of god or The dharma Kia is available to us at every moment. We have to be available to it ourselves. This brings me to the question of the day – I am available to this beautiful space of the present moment and I’m gratefully open.
I can be still and listen now. Everything is occurring and flowing in harmony. I’m grateful and happy.
Happiness is available, please help yourselves to it!
I’ll do my best today and I will keep trying to do my best . I pray that doing my best will help the world .
Being here and recognizing what is with acceptance.
By meditating and letting go- over and over again. Repentance is beautiful.
Enjoy it! I’m grateful for this day. I get to swim laps later ! Yippee!
We’re all in this together- it’s not my world. I am in you and you are in me. So thank you. Thank you for helping and being here .
Life isn’t difficult. It’s the mind set that is difficult. If I encounter a situation or experience that I label difficult then it is that way. It’s my reactions to whatever is occurring that I’m experiencing. For me gratefulness practice is also practice of humbleness and letting go over and over. I don’t think I can remove any of the elements that make up a grateful mindset – gratefulness is an open empty mind that allows everyone and everything. ( of course this...

( of course this isn’t always easy to practice- I’m by no means saying I can do this always. Thanks for your support friends. )
My sense of taste is offering me pleasure of a crisp sweet apple.
I have grown in confidence through the wisdom of praying. By repentance and being free from lies I have become much happier and grateful for each moment. I have grown a more open mind by letting go. I’m grateful all the time and this is heaven.
Swimming and water bring joy to life! I also have started to paint with oils and it’s wonderful
Thank you for this question. Letting go of the mind of expectations is necessary in order to love. I noticed lately that I carry a lot of expectations and it’s a habit! How can I love truly when I hold this ? Lately I have been doing a lot of repentance and praying/meditation. I see the things that I hold and many of them are not at all beautiful. This has been very difficult to look at because I have always expected way more out of myself! Here it is – more expecting! When I tr...
Thank you for this question. Letting go of the mind of expectations is necessary in order to love. I noticed lately that I carry a lot of expectations and it’s a habit! How can I love truly when I hold this ? Lately I have been doing a lot of repentance and praying/meditation. I see the things that I hold and many of them are not at all beautiful. This has been very difficult to look at because I have always expected way more out of myself! Here it is – more expecting! When I truly take a deeper look at the mind I can see much more of the garbage which needs to be taken out and let go of . I appreciate that this question adds letting go gracefully and I would add gracefully. I have to do this with patience with myself and others. Otherwise I try to shove it out with an attitude of hate and disgust. This is not true letting go. I think letting go with gratitude and grace is repentance. Each baby step closer to truth.
Thank you for being here Herman. Happy Sunday to you.
Thank you Herman ! I was actually caught in this exact mind trap yesterday! It was an actual trap – I grateful for the light of mindfulness shedding a sharp light on the falseness of what my mind was getting up to. Freedom is available when we use wisdom to let go of falseness.
Congratulations on your new choice ! Well wishes to you lamme!
Lovely Ose! So true! Thanks for being here !
