One jag's thoughts on Buddhism.
leaves in the hand: September 2014
http://leavesinthehand.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Leaves in the hand. One jag's thoughts on Buddhism. Sunday, September 28, 2014. Noble friendship, part deux. This weekend I had the opportunity to attend my third retreat. And the second led by Sakula. The spiritual director of Portland Friends of the Dhamma. The theme of the retreat was based around the threefold practice of virtue. And how they're all integral to a successful practice. And one thing Sakula had us do was to think of something skillful we did and delight in how good it made us feel.
leaves in the hand: November 2014
http://leavesinthehand.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Leaves in the hand. One jag's thoughts on Buddhism. Saturday, November 1, 2014. Yesterday, instead of going out with friends, I went to PFoD. In a sense, our minds can be our own worst enemies, and it's within our minds that real suffering arises. To help counter the influence of greed, hatred, and delusion, as well as to distill fear, Buddhism offers four guardian meditations. Given at Wat Metta:. Or do you just want to write it off? After all, when people aren't happy, they can do cruel and miserable t...

Leaves in the hand. One jag's thoughts on Buddhism. Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Rules to live by: context matters and always cite/review source material. Two important things that I've learned over the years discussing Buddhism and other topics on the internet that I can't stress often enough are context matters and always cite/review source material. A great example of why these are so important occurred the other day. During a discussion about literalism and where to draw the line on NewBuddhist. Later on...
leaves in the hand: some reflections on the passing of my mother
http://leavesinthehand.blogspot.com/2015/07/some-reflections-on-passing-of-my-mother.html
Leaves in the hand. One jag's thoughts on Buddhism. Friday, July 10, 2015. Some reflections on the passing of my mother. Even still, I wasn't really. On the flight; and with every bump of turbulence, I thought that at least my pain would end if I were to die. Midway through, they called for a doctor. Someone was having a medical emergency. I'm not sure how serious it was, but after we landed a lady was helped off by EMTs before the rest of us could exit, and I hoped that she'd be OK. While there is a low...

Leaves in the hand. One jag's thoughts on Buddhism. Monday, August 25, 2014. And the Buddha encouraged their followers to renounce the world. This doesn't mean, of course, that one must literally run away from the world and go hide in a cave. It's primarily a kind of attitude, a shift in the focus of one's life. To renounce the world is to play by a different set of rules, to go against the current. Of selfishness and craving, and live a life that others may not understand. Is not the source your pleasur...

leaves in the forest: November 2014

Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Monday, November 24, 2014. Ferguson. What can I say about it? A] riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? Saturday, November 15, 2014. I haven't been inspired to write much about politics lately, but I thought this Jacobin. Was rather interesting in that it helps to illustrate the underlying moral foundation of capitalism, one making the last, first, and the first, last. Who coined the phrase "time is money":. But i...

leaves in the forest: rape is a tired trope that needs to be put to rest
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2015/05/rape-is-tired-trope-that-needs-to-be.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Rape is a tired trope that needs to be put to rest. After last Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones. The New York Times. Fans: How do you feel about the show's depictions of sexual violence? That's a good question; one I think needs asking. I'm to the point where I can't stomach any rape scene, regardless of the context. I've seen arguments recently re: Game of Thrones. However, that lament the rape scenes. An argument can be made...

What Makes Indiana's Religious-Freedom Law Different? Just look at our history. This country is still predominately a Christian nation. According to Pew. 78% of people in the US self-identify as Christian. The evidence is everywhere. It's on our money. It's in the Pledge of Allegiance.

http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Saturday, January 17, 2015. On newbuddhist.com today. A university student doing some research for an essay regarding contemporary Buddhism asked, Why does Buddhism appeal to you? My answer to such questions changes depending on the day, with certain aspects taking the forefront in my mind, and today was no different. Since recently starting Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene. In such a way as to ' go against the stream. Of craving ( tahna. So looking at ...

leaves in the forest: April 2015
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Re: baltimore: if you don't get it, educate yourself. Some people just don't get it. They see an eruption of violence in places like Baltimore. And criticize the protestors rather than the socio-economic inequalities that condition them. They say things like, "I don't get it. Violence is counterproductive.". You're probably not afraid that every cop you see is going to kill you. You probably don't have to do twice as much. While ...

leaves in the forest: salo
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2011/12/salo.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Monday, December 26, 2011. I watched Pier Paolo Pasolini's last film, Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom. Tonight. The genius of Salo. Is also its downfall and why it was banned in several countries. It's one of those films that, if we let it, succeed in forcing us to confront what we fear the most—the evil that lurks in the depths of the human heart, a horror that's all the more terrifying because it's real. In this, Salo. December 29, 2011 at 1:32 AM.

leaves in the forest: ¡si se puede!
http://leavesintheforest.blogspot.com/2009/05/si-se-puede.html
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Saturday, May 2, 2009. 161;si se puede! Yesterday, I attended the May Day rally and march. In downtown Portland. I ended up talking to some cool people and marching for a great cause. It felt good being a part of something that's trying to raise awareness about important issues that affect us all, especially when it comes to immigration. To live in this country while I simply have the luxury of being born here and often take that for granted. Mancow wate...

Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Monday, August 4, 2014. Fives days at our lady. Thursday morning, I awoke to a bright, blue sky and a dull headache nesting behind my right eye, excited and at the same time somewhat anxious about my five-day guest house retreat at Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey. Which I found had a lot in common with the wisdom of many of the Thai Forest ajahns, whose ascetic lifestyle in many ways mirrors that of the early Christian monks and nuns who lived conte...

leaves in the forest
Leaves in the forest. One jag's thoughts on stuff. Wednesday, December 27, 2017. Virtue is its own reward. The Stoics often said virtue is its own reward. Epictetus, for example, argued that there's no reward for a person greater than doing what's good and just. In response to one of his students, who asks what good can be expected from the development of virtue, Epictetus says. What greater good do you look for than this? Notes from a potential revolutionary. The Underground Man's acute consciousness as...

Leaves in the forest. One jags thoughts on stuff. January 4, 2016. Malheur wildlife refuge standoff and the deeper implications of privilege. Apparently this happened while we were on the coast. My initial reaction is that this is a great example of privilege, one with deep implications:. And since privilege is relative, it’s not easy to see, often going unnoticed because it manifests itself as a lack of discrimination. In this case, a group of armed, white men who feel entitled to public land and more l...
leaves in the hand
Leaves in the hand. One jag's thoughts on Buddhism. Wednesday, March 14, 2018. What is the Dhamma? Although I began my journey into Buddhism with meditation, I think my journey truly began when I read Food for the Heart: The Collected Teachings of Ajahn Chah. Which inspired me to read the suttas starting with the Majjhima Nikaya. And got me seeing things from a whole different perspective. I was inspired to practice, to change myself for the better. And perceiving the fullness of the emptiness beyond.

Leaves In The Spring
Saturday, 16 June 2012. Book Review: The Cellist of Sarajevo. I have a lot of reading time these days. With an hour long train ride each way between work and home I get through books quicker than ever. This one is a gem. The Cellist of Sarajevo. The story is told from the point of view of each of these three people. We see their struggles to not only survive the war but also to save a part of who they were before it. Have you read it? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Page for more info. Thanks! Showcasing...
