“Be kinder to yourself. And let your kindness flood the world.”
pickOne might think I‘m a Buddhist by how often I read/listen to Buddhist texts and related topics. I‘m not. But I find a lot about Buddhism lines up with my personal philosophies. Or, at least, how I imagine my personal philosophies.
Meditation in Action is very accessible. I was able to follow along while working, and while not everything is new to me here, Trungpa is able to frame it in a way that makes it seem new. Def recommend for beginners.
pickBrief and yet so impactful! Listening to the audio version twice has given me so much to think about in regards to love, anger, and kindness to myself.
Happy Birthday to the Dalai Lama!
bailedWhile there are sometimes nuggets here that resonate with me, overall I find her writing opaque, circular, repetitive, and without a lot of practical application. DNF at 40%
so-soMi primer libro en español! Budista y profesor de ética y religión, David Loy identifica el sentido del "yo" como destructivo en el sentido de que hay una otra mitad necesaria de la cual comprendemos algo que siempre falta. Así lo llenamos de dinero, sexo, guerra y karma.
pickThis is a straightforward commentary on Shantideva‘s classic text on the way of the Bodhisattva. If you enjoy books by Pema Chodron, I welcome you to dig deeper into Buddhist wisdom with this text. Norman Fischer‘s zen interpretation of this work is also excellent. ☸️ I would have preferred a print edition, but I am rich in Audible credits, so audio had to do.
I know this is super late, but I wanted to thank you all for the #holidaycardswap and #naturalitsycardswap cards! I read and loved them all! I have them saved in a nice box ❤️
