Whatever arises in your life, in your mind and in your relationships, receive that. It’s so important, but we miss it by the impulsive reaction to the perception. As soon as the leading edge of the negativity shows up, do nothing with it. It might just fall apart without your participation.https://youtu.be/D9H05PZhBFo…

Enlightened means awake or realized. An outflow is usually seen as something negative that happens when we react to something we don’t like with anger and blame because all we see is the simple cause and effect. Don’t do anything unless you have to. You’re going to have to train your mind to see this.https://youtu.be/tsUJYW8l_Os…

“Don’t waste your time” comes from the last lines of the Sandokai. How this shows up for each person will be so different. Maybe it’s working at a job you hate, or a relationship you think you can’t get out of. Sitting meditation over time will help you get closer to the very area where you are probably wasting your time.https://youtu.be/mB8tqc_K3x…

We can do both; have a life and a family, and be a fully ordained monk. The reason I say it this way is so we don’t confuse the mundane with the spiritual path.
