.: Back again.....

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2007/01/back-again.html

Wednesday, January 24, 2007. Haven't been doing my practices.no excuses but trying not to condemn myself either. As they say, just pick yourself up and start again. My meditation mat is still in it's usual place and I'll be sitting tonight. Will consolidate the most helpful Quiet Mind podcasts into one CD to listen to in the car. I always feel more motivated and ready to get back on track when I listen to these. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Silent Bliss-my related blog.

.: Which tradition of Buddhism?

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2006/05/which-tradition-of-buddhism.html

Saturday, May 27, 2006. Which tradition of Buddhism? Years ago I thought about coming up with my religion.just choosing what I find is right for me and following it, no matter what belief system it came from. The person insisted I couldn't do that. Well.why the hell not? I don't intend to do that now, but I'm likely to not follow any specific branch to the letter. Of course it will be Buddhist because I see how right the basics feel to me.

.: Lapse

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2006/05/lapse.html

Monday, May 08, 2006. Had too long a lapse in my meditation. so easy to get off track. Anyway, last night I went to bed and fell asleep for a very short time. Then I awoke and it felt like I'd been injected with adrenalin! Tried deep slow breathing but it didn't help. Finally went to sleep after nearly two hours. I don't wake up refreshed very often. Meditated this evening and will do my best to do so every single day. The retreat is a week from Friday. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

.: Why?

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2007/02/why.html

Sunday, February 04, 2007. SighI should be reading my Thich Nhat Hanh books, re-listening to podcasts, and meditating.probably coming up with more mindfulness days (or blocks of time). What am I doing instead? I'd say it's a total waste of time, except that I am *in the moment* when I argue with these brainless sheep.ok, ok.not a good excuse. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

.: A few thoughts...

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2006/07/few-thoughts.html

Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Began meditating again yesterday. I feel so much better - focused, calm, less irritable - when I meditate regularly. It's difficult to remember to be in the present at all times, but it's a goal worth trying for. I hear you, buddy. Keep on truckin! Wed Aug 02, 02:20:00 am BST. Can't become enlightened overnight, can we? Wed Aug 02, 05:42:00 pm BST. It's difficult to remember to be in the present at all times, but it's a goal worth trying for.". That's the word on the street.

.: What would Thich Nhat Hanh do??

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2006/04/what-would-thich-nhat-hanh-do.html

Thursday, April 27, 2006. What would Thich Nhat Hanh do? Sometimes when I'm complaining about someone hub will ask me 'what would Thich Nhat Hanh do or think'? It took awhile to make the connection, but I just remembered the ridiculous 'What Would Jesus Do' phenomenon in the US. So, should I start a 'What Would Thich Nhat Hanh Do? Bumper sticker and tshirt business? Is true, he's a really peacefull man, that seems to be he's very own nature. My e-mail is fernando.wg@gmail.com. Wed Jun 14, 08:55:00 am BST.

.: How my mindful day went....

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2006/11/how-my-mindful-day-went.html

Saturday, November 11, 2006. How my mindful day went. Well, I didn't make it the whole day but for a first try I think I did well. The weather was crap today so I never got a nice, long, mindful walk in the woods. I do have a clean house though! The long, hot soak in bubblebath was quite pleasant and relaxing.

.: Bad karma?

http://buddhismmaybe.blogspot.com/2006/05/bad-karma.html

Sunday, May 14, 2006. I'm wondering about this concept of karma. Am I being denied inner peace because of bad karma? Because of bad things I've done in my life? Am I now being repaid and is there a way to redeem myself? Most certainly made me think. They used the concept of fear as to when you get to move forward and finish your earthly incarnations. When you prove yourself courageous, you move to heaven. Interesting. Http:/ www.angelfire.com/electronic/bodhidharma/karma truth.html.
