Re: Staying motivated for everyday activities

What could in truth be more repetitive than sitting still in meditation, watching the rise and fall of one's breath? We have no reason to treat our daily choirs any different than this. To be entertained is to constantly be exposed to new, sensory impulses; a new experience. But the way to lasting ...

Re: Staying motivated for everyday activities

Everything you do had a ripple effect. Visualize/wish/make the aspiration that all beings benefit from whatever you are doing, that they find a connection with the dharma, because you have a connection with the dharma. So, even if you spend 10 hours a day putting rubber bands on rubber band balls, ...

Re: About clay and pottery

Creating stuff with ones own hands is just... so amazing. I am fascinated by hand-tool (no motors/electricity) carpentry. I talk about this with my father who was a professional carpenter starting at the point right after power tools took over and he just doesn't get the appeal. I think it's the di...

Re: About clay and pottery

I have watched several videos about finding clay in nature and purifying it for use. And about handmade pottery, which still exists here in our modern technical culture. This topic has a nice earthly feel to it. It is an industry and workmanship that has existed for several thousands of years. One ...

Staying motivated for everyday activities

The drudgery of normal, day-to-day life and work is really a snooze compared to dharma practice. I love the idea of "Taking everything as the path" as lamas describe. What are some ways that you get into the groove of routine, especially repetitive work with your dharma practice? I'm looki...

Finding deity's attributes?

I read somewhere, it might have been while lurking Dharmawheel, that finding a deity's attributes in everyday life is a sign of progress with the yidam. Is this true? If it is true, does it still count if we find shapes in dust particles, clouds, leaves, etc. shaped like the deity's attributes? :tha...
