7月11日 地球母親、大自然 正以極端氣候、頻發震動等 天地異象 自我療癒、調和 人人需修習接納無常的心態 順應大自然韻律與調整節奏 方能與之同頻，共同進化 讓我們一起創造共時好生活。 我是禹桐 Karuna。 無數人正以各自的方式 守護著行星地球、生態環境 國家也為此付出了多年努力 央視新聞有則報道 一位沙漠種樹人 當年響應國家號召與利好政策 用10年時間 在塔克拉瑪乾沙漠 種下棗樹 並誓願： 用平凡的一生，成全沙漠一片綠 她對著一顆小苗說： 這不是黃豆芽，這是沙漠里未來的參天大樹！ 致敬平凡英雄！ 大自然終會 讓所有人醒悟 對自然能源的無度攫取、濫用 甚至自大傲慢到想以人力對抗 人類只會自食惡果 “大自然不需要人類，但人類需要大自然” 學習坦然接受大自然的無常變化 從中領悟我們需要學習與成長的 學習順應與善用，懂得節制 我們也可藉助AI來探討生態環境 但需要警鐘長鳴的是： 全球AI系統超速度發展的代價是 它們在強力消耗實打實的自然資源！ 所以我目前會更節制地使用AI 道德經早有提醒： “知足不辱，知止不殆，可以長久” 知道滿足，也就不會受到折辱； 知道停止，也就不會遭遇危難。 知足知止，合於天道長久 無度掠奪、透支資源等 亦會導致天地失衡、災異頻生。 今天是 KIN 214，韻律的白色智者。 白巫師象徵著：永恆 喜悅 接受 而韻律的力量代表著：均衡 組織 平衡 “取用必守時節、且留有生機” 知足知止、日常環保 可從小事做起 洗澡洗臉洗物的臟水 熱水器開啟後有段涼水 這些都可用來沖洗馬桶 減少網購加工包裝食品 自製食品，不復雜也更放心 減少使用帶化工元素產品 比如用茶籽粉代替洗潔精 牙膏換成青鹽炮附刷牙粉 清潔用中草藥手工皂 嘗試自製天然皂與護膚品 前段時間外出學習時 久未見的朋友說我 現在都不打扮自己 我確實只帶2-3套棉衣替換 舒服簡單，已成為我的日常 如果你也經歷過 山中道觀生活的洗禮 也會像我一樣開始明白 原來人真正需要的，確實不多 道觀裡所有物資 全靠人力背上高山 生活用水，全靠老天 缺水旱廁又潮濕是常態 梅雨季還要不時修電修房頂 甚至曾半夜水漫土房 正如師父所說：“道在苦中求” 外境雖苦，卻能促進堅定內境！ 讓我們一起誦讀今日的共時好生活啟動語： 取之有度，用之有節，則常足 取之無度，用之無節，則常不足。 今天可試個日常覺察練習： 這個周末不妨將外出聚餐或點外賣 替換成與家人一起做餐飯吧！ 或朋友聚會時，每人各帶一份自製美食 感受下那份親手製作的心意與健康飲食 或者單純享受“一人食”的愜意。 韻律的白巫師的低語是： 接受無常、順應變革，共同進化。 祝福今天的我們 能安守質樸本真的日常 順道而行不妄為 IN LAK'ECH！ALA K'IN. 你是我，我是另外一個你。 田定豐 安眠書店互動社群 (line) @fong_venture 田定豐＿FB粉絲專頁 https://www.facebook.com/LancasterTien 田定豐＿IG ＠lancaster5858 https://www.instagram.com/lancaster5858 田定豐＿YOUTUBE 定心哲學 https://www.youtube.com/@lancastertien -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

మహాస్వామి - మహా కరుణ | Maha Swamy - Maha Karuna | Telugu Story

6月29日 我們是否都曾經歷過： --“說話比較直/都是為你好”為表達前提 以過於直接甚至攻擊性語言，專戳對方脆弱點 --那個誰誰誰，之前如何如何，最近又如何如何…… --嘴上說一套，實際做一套…… 語言是一把“雙刃劍” 取決於持劍之人的“發心”！ 讓我們一起創造共時好生活。 我是禹桐 Karuna。 《道德經》言：“曲則全，枉則正” 曲折行事、柔弱彎曲，得以周全圓滿、中正合道。 為人處事，小心全憑主觀，只知直來直去 學習水無常形，上善至柔，蜿蜒前行 老道長則提醒我們： “意誠通天界”，大腦意念場是無有遮攔的！ 你是否有誠心，首先瞞不過上天。 其次瞞不過自己，最終瞞不過任何人。 語言，就是你的心聲 通過意念發出，且帶有能量 所以，閑談不論人非、不該說的不說，玩笑話也要少說 多說好話。遇上不順之事，也要多說好的，大事化小，小事化了。 有時善意的謊言，是替對方考慮，帶著慈悲與善意。 最近電影《給阿嬤的情書》以黑馬之姿破圈 如紀錄片式、娓娓道來一段塵封往事。 “電影里90%的情節都有原型” “下南洋”歷史中， 很多人背井離鄉數十年 靠僑批與家人聯絡、遙寄相思 有些人客死他鄉後 其家人或友人選擇隱瞞其離世的消息 持續寄送錢款給其家鄉親人 並以“他尚在人世”的口吻書寫信函 幾十年如一日編造著善意的謊言 盡己所能去拖舉另一個親友的家庭 其中飽含的真善、仁義 跨越時空、地域，打動人心！ 今天的星系印記是 KIN 202，共鳴的白風。 白風象徵著：心靈 交流 呼吸 而共鳴的力量代表著：協調 開闢通道 啟發 《道德經》：“不言之教，無為之益，天下希能及之矣” 不言的教化，無為的益處，天下很少有人能達到的。 透過大自然，感受“不言之教” 從天地、四時、萬物等無言的存在中 覺知自然之“道” 真正能夠影響一個人的 往往是那無言的、無為的 無需刻意去說服或影響任何人 自然而然地做好自己 這種自然而然散發的能量、頻率 亦會於無形中去影響外在。 讓我們一起誦讀今日的共時好生活啟動語： 真正的大師、生命的智慧，早已在每個人自己裡面 越能跟隨自然頻率而生活，越能活出自己的天性自然 “授人以魚，不如授人以漁”。 讓我們一起多讀經典，汲取前人智慧。 推薦三秦出版社出版的 《道德經：帛書版全本全譯全析—— 秦復觀 註解》 值得細細品讀，慢慢去參！ 共鳴的白風的低語是： 大自然的教導，往往是無言的，是“不言之教”。 IN LAK'ECH！ALA K'IN. 你是我，我是另外一個你。 田定豐 安眠書店互動社群 (line) @fong_venture 田定豐＿FB粉絲專頁 https://www.facebook.com/LancasterTien 田定豐＿IG ＠lancaster5858 https://www.instagram.com/lancaster5858 田定豐＿YOUTUBE 定心哲學 https://www.youtube.com/@lancastertien -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

6月26日 這事為何要發生在我身上？為什麼是我？ 為什麼要離開？為何要這樣做？…… 你是否常發出類似的靈魂拷問？ 生命中有太多變數，讓人猝不及防 世間諸事，從來難遂人願 諸法緣起無常，半點不由人 讓我們一起創造共時好生活。 我是禹桐 Karuna。 黃戰士波符以 “藍風暴”形式來服務 近期13天如有何無常變化 自然能量，運作使然 盡力安頓好當下諸事之餘 最關鍵的是藉助所有發生 去“過關”、去煉己修心 方能早日解脫、境隨心轉 外物沒變，但你的心變了 更超脫地去看待世事無常 人有悲歡離合、月有陰晴圓缺 順應自然演化…… 我自己就在波符第一天 聽聞一位親人離世 他像我兩位家人一樣，離世前 都飽受病痛折磨，肉身終得解脫 他曾助我母親度過生命最難階段 母親卻不得不再三面對至親離世 我們能做的就是 好好送親人最後一程 好好守護活著的人 就在藍風暴的今天 我們出發去參加追悼會 我想沒人想聽到這些 生活本身夠苦了 為何還要去聽他人之苦 但這就是我的生活本身 也是AI無法替代的活人感吧。 我近些年也一直在修“生死關” 生而為人，都會面對的重要一關 學習“從生到死”的所有生命智慧 大覺者提出“人生八苦” 生老病死、怨憎會、愛別離、求不得、五陰熾盛 貫穿每個人的生命始終。 老道長也提醒我們： “不經歷大劫，誰能從“生產流水線”中下來？ 堅定方向，不丟宗旨，“考試”就過關了” 今天的星系印記是 KIN 199，自我存在的藍風暴。 藍風暴象徵著：自然運生 促進催化 能量 而自我存在的力量代表著：形式 確定 權衡 世間唯一不變的，是變化 生生不息，方為大道！ 我們都曾經歷過，生命的高低起伏 走過生命的絢爛，安於日常的平凡 也曾蟄伏於漫長的黑夜…… 當身處低谷困境，我們該何去何從？ 如何在絕望中，找到希望？ 如何在未知中，勇敢前行？ 每個人以各自的方式 不斷前行 在得失起落中沉澱自己 在世事輪回里成長蛻變 這本就是生命的力量 生命的本質就是在 成住壞空、循環往復中 不斷自我更迭，持續進化。 分享《臣服試驗》一段智慧語錄： 宇宙已存在一百三十八億年，塑造生命洪流的億萬因緣，並非在我們降生那一刻才啟動，也不會隨我們死亡而停止。世間萬物、所有際遇，是無窮無盡力量交織出的結果，客觀現實地展開，從來不以人的自由意志為轉移。 自我存在的藍風暴的低語是： 無常變化、生生不息，方為大道。 IN LAK'ECH！ALA K'IN. 你是我，我是另外一個你。 田定豐 安眠書店互動社群 (line) @fong_venture 田定豐＿FB粉絲專頁 https://www.facebook.com/LancasterTien 田定豐＿IG ＠lancaster5858 https://www.instagram.com/lancaster5858 田定豐＿YOUTUBE 定心哲學 https://www.youtube.com/@lancastertien -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

以下人性陷阱，你落入了幾個？ 偏聽偏信、恃才傲物、比較嫉妒等等 你是否落入我不知道 但我可是人性陷阱的常客 關關難過關關過 如將其細化到人性50關後 你一定會忍不住 開始懷疑人生 讓我們一起創造共時好生活。 我是禹桐 Karuna。 推薦清代劉一明所著《通關文》 深刻剖析了 如色慾、恩愛、財利、懶惰、書魔等 人生中的50個重要關口 旨在幫助打通人性阻礙。 此外，也要小心“書魔關” 盡信書，不如無書 “步步印證，方能明道” 去年當我跟隨老道長 首次學“修道49關”時 那叫一個汗顏 關關都是坎、都是深坑啊 “修自己”都來不及 哪還有精力用在跟外界較勁上 或者埋怨所謂原生家庭？ 不論我們來自哪裡？經歷過什麼？ 都是我們的來時路 否定了來時路 也就是否定了自己 請對自己好些！ 答應我，好嗎？ 人身難得、人生短暫 把所有向外的“戰鬥” 向內聚焦在：修己、煉己 萃取自己這部“真經”！ 今天的星系印記是 KIN 198，電力的白鏡。 白鏡象徵著：無窮無盡 反思 秩序 而電力的力量代表著：服務 啓動 連結 “祛魅”是我一直在修的議題 其核心是 打碎濾鏡、褪去光環、看清真相 然而“祛魅” 最首要祛魅的不是外界 而是“自己”！ 敢於撕掉自己所有偽裝與假面具 身為超越紅龍的我， 出生標配自帶超頻白鏡子啊 白鏡的無窮無盡反射功能 讓我栽在“如實觀照”議題上 九九八十一難，只少不多 為免過度傷人傷己 乖乖回到投射的源頭 也就是自己身上吧 終~於~！ 所以身為修己者 最近輪到我分享生活播報 勞您受累，聽我7日痴言夢語 我在那最低處給大家托底 至少我願意持續去精進自己 如果有哪句話剛好與您共振 不如我們一起將其落到實處 懂再多道理 不如事上磨練 正如王陽明所提示： 知而不行，只是未知；良知被私慾遮蔽。 讓我們一起誦讀今日的共時好生活啓動語： 1、放下虛假人設，回歸樸素本真 2、轉向外抓取為，向內修身 3、持續對治習氣，不依賴理論自我麻痹 聽懂道理不能代替修行，習氣需要長期覺察、約束、打磨、事上磨練。 今天覺察練習： 五祖曾問惠能：「米熟也未？」 （米舂好了沒有？） 惠能回答說：「米熟久矣，猶欠篩在。」 （米早已舂好，但還需要篩一下） 一個不斷自我精進和萃取提煉的過程 電力的白鏡的低語是： 當你體悟到心性的本源時 你只瞭解一件事 但是所有一切皆因而解脫。 IN LAK'ECH！ALA K'IN. 你是我，我是另外一個你。 田定豐 安眠書店互動社群 (line) @fong_venture 田 田定豐＿FB粉絲專頁 https://www.facebook.com/LancasterTien 田定豐＿IG ＠lancaster5858 https://www.instagram.com/lancaster5858 田定豐＿YOUTUBE 定心哲學 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

6月23日 你是否「敢於不同」？ 不是為了不同而不同，甚至爭鬥， 而是尊重彼此、和而不同， 將所有對外的鬥爭， 轉向「修自己」！ 讓我們一起創造共時好生活。 我是禹桐 Karuna。 清代劉一明祖師《通關文》中言： 「恐學者捨近求遠，不知先盡自己之事，而即妄想他人之事」 先做好自己，再由近達遠。 關關難過、關關過， 是對於黃戰士（波符）的極好詮釋。 但過關的重點不在脫離生活困境， 而在能否跳脫「人性樊籠」？ 歷經「未到達、未覺醒」的來時路， 一層層撕開所有的虛假、虛妄， 只指本心、本質、本真。 身為一名普通的修己者， 我在這條路上走了 10 年， 但主修的是「上層建築」， 內在衝突卻少有停歇。 不落足基本的修行，只會越修越偏； 靈性的高塔，早晚會坍塌。 而衝突失衡的結果， 必然會落在身體病痛裡。 去年上山學道家養生功法， 讓自己再次歸零， 回到生命最低處、也是根本之處。 從「身體」這個幼兒園層面， 重新一步步往上修。 所以要看清一個人或自己， 往往不是看最高處， 而是看我們的最低處。 也就是那無人問津時、身處困境時， 在人們看不見的地方—— 獨處時、對待家人／親近之人時、 看身體的健康狀態等。 在這些最低處，亦是根本處， 才能看清人的真實狀態。 自欺欺人的最終結果， 不過是自己受苦罷了。 今天的星系印記是 KIN 196，磁性的黃戰士。 黃戰士象徵著：智能・詢問・無懼 而磁性的力量代表著：目的・團結・引動 成為自己生命的英雄、戰士， 最難能可貴的是， 敢於直面自己的「最低處」。 「以疑破執」， 透過不斷探問， 打破思維疆界、限制性信念等， 將自我抗爭的力量／能量， 轉向聚焦在—— 從生命的最低處、根本處， 一層層，堅定往上修； 一步步，穩定向前走。 無論是向內探問， 或是同修間彼此探問， 答案為何、高低對錯，統統不重要。 真正重要的， 是這個「探問過程」， 助力自己與彼此， 去釐清內在哪些尚未清晰、尚未成熟？ 又有哪些限制性信念， 讓自己畫地為牢？ 人際間的爭鬥， 多源於「內在人格、小我之爭」。 這些外在事件或衝突， 皆可成為叩問自心的觸發點， 喚醒內在實相，照破執念樊籠。 讓我們一起誦讀今日的共時好生活啟動語： 己所不欲，勿施於人 己所甚欲，也勿施於人 得饒人處且饒人，宜退步處即退步 今天可試三個簡單的覺察練習： ① 做某件事前，問問自己： 「我做這件事，是否發乎本心？」 ② 說某些話前，問問我心： 「我的表達，是否心口合一？」 ③ 吃某樣食物前，問問身體： 「我吃這個，你感覺舒服開心嗎？」 磁性的黃戰士的低語是： 靈性的戰士，外在沒有敵人。 IN LAK'ECH！ALA K'IN. 你是我，我是另外一個你。 田定豐 安眠書店互動社群 (line) @fong_venture 田定豐＿FB粉絲專頁 https://www.facebook.com/LancasterTien 田定豐＿IG ＠lancaster5858 https://www.instagram.com/lancaster5858 田定豐＿YOUTUBE 定心哲學 https://www.youtube.com/@lancastertien -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

5月19日 地球就在每個人的心裡面！ 我們與地球同一心跳 地球與我們合一 讓我們一起創造共時好生活。 我是禹桐 Karuna。 紅色圖騰與波符 皆為紅色能量 對應肉身血脈等物質層面 也正因此 紅地球波符的超頻紅龍 家庭或個人生命議題 往往與身體有關 我雖不同體系修行多年 身體還是出現不少狀況 去年跟隨道門師父學習 才知曉道門智慧 是從「身體」基本面開始 遵循自然之道 一步步往上修 由根基穩步通達高維境界 由此我才將道家智慧 融入13月亮曆踐行中 意識進化的過程 也要同步身體修煉 避免能量失衡、心神紛亂 人身即是一方小天地 《黃帝內經》 早已闡明天人對應之道 「天有日月，人有兩目；地有九州，人有九竅」 「人身如大地，臟腑為山嶽，經絡為江河，氣血為流水」 人立足天地之間 當以肉身為根基 吸納天地能量 契合高維頻率 把修行融入日常 促進當下生活 從身、到心、到關係 自然和諧 今天的星系印記是 KIN 161，超頻的紅龍。 紅龍象徵著：出生 滋養 存在 而超頻的力量代表著：光芒四射 自主 掌握 我本平凡 但身為超頻的紅龍 曾自發開啟過一些「功能」 雖感恩賦予的天賦力量 但不會迷戀且主動關閉 不想濫用、不走捷徑 我更看重「心性鍊金」 帛書版《道德經》有言： 「大方無隅，大器免成，大音希聲。」 道不被萬物類象所框定，故「天象無形」。 不必執著天賦優劣 也無需被當下境遇障礙或設限 心性才是道之本體 每個人皆有無限可能 真正合道的大成或修行 從非一蹴而就 靠的是長久沉澱、默默修持 讓我們一起誦讀今日的共時好生活啟動語： 「道在苦中求。所有努力苦修，最終只為降伏自心」 「大方無隅，大器免成，大音希聲，大道不拘萬象」 「借假修真，淬鍊『本我』真經」 今天覺察練習：人身即是小天地 行走於人體地球的「山河地圖」 靜心感受身體內的「山川河流」 亦可以目前身體狀況 自查修行所處階段 不盲從外界理念 我們的身體 往往不是自己不清楚 而是被忽略太久 或過度用頭腦支配身體 唯有靜心聆聽 才能感受身體智慧 超頻的紅龍的低語是： 以肉身為根基，把修行融入日常。 世上最好的路徑，便是「安住當下」； 世上最大的變化，唯有「順應自然」。 IN LAK'ECH！ALA K'IN. 你是我，我是另外一個你。 田定豐 安眠書店互動社群 (line) @fong_venture 田定豐＿FB粉絲專頁 https://www.facebook.com/LancasterTien 田定豐＿IG ＠lancaster5858 https://www.instagram.com/lancaster5858 田定豐＿YOUTUBE 定心哲學 https://www.youtube.com/@lancastertien -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Una pratica in due tempi: prima stabilizziamo il corpo e la mente con la consapevolezza del respiro, lasciando emergere un senso di quieta felicità. Poi, ben radicati in questo benessere, apriamo il cuore verso chi in questo momento attraversa sofferenza, conflitti o guerre. Non per assorbire il loro dolore, ma per offrire riconoscimento e stabilità. Un modo concreto per imparare a stare accanto alla sofferenza del mondo senza esserne travolti. Meditazione guidata registrata da Sirimedho Stefano De Luca nel gruppo di meditazione dell'Associazione Kalyanamitta il 10 aprile 2026. Se vuoi partecipare agli incontri, vai sul nostro sito, sezione Partecipa / Gruppi di meditazione.

Every mile marker tells a different story, and each state along Route 66 offers its own slice of Americana. From restored gas stations frozen in time to desert craters that challenge your sense of scale, knowing where to stop can transform a long drive into an unforgettable adventure.In this episode, host Angie Orth is back with travel journalist and filmmaker Karuna Eberl to break down Route 66 state by state. Fresh from her 2,448-mile journey across eight states, Karuna shares her top picks for the most unmissable attractions from Illinois to California, helping you prioritize where to spend your time along America's Mother Road.You'll discover hidden gems in small towns and learn why one Kansas stop is a must for Pixar fans.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) This talk explores karuṇā as the heart that meets suffering with kindness and the sincere wish for its relief, without attachment to outcome. Compassion is not kind behavior but a wholesome state of mind from which wise action naturally flows. The talk distinguishes karuṇā from empathy: affective empathy can lead to exhaustion by taking on others' pain, while compassion is “feeling for,” supported by warmth and equanimity. Rather than merging with suffering, we attune to the care already present within it. Karuṇā is a brahmavihāra—abundant, immeasurable, and energizing—capable of meeting personal and global pain with clarity and agency. Practical guidance is offered: begin with manageable suffering, pair compassion with balance, use simple phrases, and end with spaciousness for all beings.

Picture yourself cruising past vintage motels with glowing vacancy signs, stopping for pie at a chrome-trimmed diner, and discovering roadside museums that tell stories most travelers speed right past. Today's Route 66 isn't about getting from point A to point B. It's about embracing the journey as America's most iconic highway turns 100.In this episode, host Angie Orth welcomes Karuna Eberl, a travel journalist and filmmaker who just completed the entire 2,448-mile journey from Illinois to California. Karuna wrote the latest cover stories for AAA Explorer and Westways, documenting her three-week adventure through eight states, visiting local eateries, historic motor courts, and small-town museums that preserve a century of American history.You'll learn how long you need to enjoy Route 66 and why slowing down transforms the experience. She also shares the cultural landmarks that make this highway a living time capsule and practical tips on where to stay and how to navigate the route.What You'll Learn:3:35 Why slowing down transforms the Route 66 experience 8:13 Mid-century Americana's roadside diners and motor lodges 13:41 Must-see roadside attractions 19:12 The historic motor courts that connect travelers24:30 Essential lessons from 2,500 miles on the Mother RoadConnect with Karuna Eberl:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/quixotictravelersHave you driven Route 66?

From a downloaded document from one of my online dharma dialogs — dated June 8, 2016, but otherwise unidentified — we find the following definitions of the Four Immeasurables of Buddhism: Metta (loving kindness) Karuna (compassion)Mudita (sympathetic joy or empathy) Upekkha (equanimity) I have always felt that the immeasurables of Zen practice are more important than those aspects subject to measurement. For example, it is more important in doing meditation, zazen, to never give up, as MatsuokaRoshi would often encourage us, than how long we sit when we do, how often, how frequently, how regularly, etc. More important than the quantitative dimension is the qualitative.Folks bring this up in dokusan frequently, saying they know they need to “sit more.” I ask them when do they think they can do that. You cannot sit more in the past — it's too late. You cannot sit more in the future, because it is not yet here, though you can plan to do so — and possibly set yourself up fordiscouragement by failing to live up to your own expectations — been there, done that. The only time you can do more zazen is when you are doing it. You can do zazen more by refraining from doing anything else while you are on the cushion. Such as daydreaming, worrying, planning, ruminating, regretting, and so on. Turn up the intensity knob. The list is followed by an extension of the definitions: The ease of equanimity, the full-heartedness of love, the tenderness of compassion, the radiance of joy. There follows a brief “prayer,” a term we do not often see in Buddhist teachings, a “short version” attributed to H.H. the Dali Lama:The Four immeasurables are found in one brief and beautiful prayer: May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes,May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its causes, May all sentient beings notbe separated from sorrowless bliss, May all sentient beings abide in equanimity, free of bias,attachment and anger.This sounds very similar to the familiar Metta Sutta, or Loving Kindness Sutra, from the Soto Zen liturgychanted often in Zen temples, though finding our “bliss” is not a term I would use as a goal or objective of Zen practice. While human beings are included in the panoply of sentient beings that we pray may be happy, it is also acknowledged that human beings can be a significant part of the problem, the cause of unhappiness and sorrow in their fellow sentient beings. Needless to say, we “pray” in the sense of earnestness — not to a god, to Buddha, nor to a specific bodhisattva. Our basic prayer is that we wake up, as soon as possible.It should be equally needless to point out that the prayer, or wish, for all beings to be happy does not imply a rose-colored, magical-thinking belief that somehow just because we pray for it, it shall come to pass that all beings will suddenly become happy, via some “spooky action at a distance” — thank you, Zen Master Einstein.We “transfer merit” at the end of our service because we don't want to suggest that we actually believe we personally accumulate any real merit owing to our devotional activities. Whatever merit there maybe, it must already finitely exist, and can be neither increased or decreased by what we do.Likewise, the practical worldview of Buddhism and Zen dictates that if and when all beings actually do become happy, it will be happy with the causes and conditions of existence just as they are, or in spite ofthem: the unsatisfactory nature of life, being subject to aging, sickness and death, etc ad infinitum. Zen isnothing if not realistic.“Things as it is” is an expression David Chadwick attributes to Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in his charming book, “Crooked Cucumber,” as his condensed expression of one of the central truths of Zen. It does notmean “things as they are.” If it did, there would be no reason to engage in all the necessary discipline andwork of Zen, if it were only to result in things staying the way they are. That is, if our own perception and conception of our own reality did not undergo some kind of meaningful change as a result of our efforts, what would be the point of practicing? Which begs another central question, What kind of change is that?The kind of change that can come about through the practice and study of Zen, particularly itsmeditation, is pointed to in the Heart Sutra, chanted ubiquitously in Zen centers all over the world. The linethat declares, “Given Emptiness, there is no suffering, no end of suffering.” This Emptiness is capitalized tostress the unique meaning of the Sanskrit shunyatta. It is not voidness of existence, or devoid of meaning, but the dynamic nature of change that underlies all existence, the operative meaning of dukkha, usually translated as “suffering.” The suffering that can change through our coming to this insight that Buddha experienced and coached others to find, is of the unnecessary sort — that needless suffering that we heedlessly inflict upon ourselves and others. The suffering that does not — indeed cannot — change is that of the natural type, e.g. sickness, aging and death.Metta, nonetheless, is a worthy and worthwhile aspiration to a frame of mind that, while embracing the universal givens — impermanence, imperfection and insubstantiality — continues to encourage a hopeful mindset, and an engagement in compassionate action for all, toward that ideal of all beings being as happy as is practicable, under the circumstances.However, kindness — and likewise the other three immeasurables — is not at all separable from the immediate circumstances of life. Suffering fools gladly, or humoring others in their delusions or neuroses, is not an act of kindness, but of uncaring, a kind of cop-out. Treating others in ways that may not be helpful, butthat allow one to sustain a false sense that one is being kind, is not truly kind.In Zen, we recognize that the kindest thing to do, with and for others, is sharing the dharma assets, including those aspects that are most adaptable by others, such as the unsurpassably simple method of Zen meditation. But we also recognize that, even then, the effect of Zen training upon their lives is entirely up to them. You can lead a horse to water, et cetera. It requires a sense of modesty and humility to accept that we can actually do very little to help anyone else. And that what we suppose to be the most important kind of help they need may not be so. The most we can do is to expose them to the practice and teachings of Zen — sanzen and zazen — in the midst of the universal, ongoing, relentless pandemic of ignorance. Whether the inoculation against this virus takes, or not, depends upon them.

With Avatara, Linda created a clean, dermatologist-tested skincare brand designed for tweens, teens, and beyond—offering safe, fun, and affordable products now found at Target, Walmart, and Whole Foods nationwide.In our conversation, Linda shares her journey from retail buying for major fashion brands to becoming a beauty industry innovator. We talk about the inspiration behind both Karuna and Avatara, how she identified untapped opportunities in the skincare market, and the strategies that helped her brands stand out in competitive categories. She opens up about the challenges of scaling in mass retail, the importance of consumer education, and how she balances innovation with simplicity.Whether you're a beauty lover, aspiring founder, or someone curious about building a mission-led brand from scratch, this episode is full of insight and inspiration.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with my client Karuna - science writer, high achiever, and living proof that secure attachment is possible! We're talking full transformation: from spiraling over missed texts to feeling calm, confident, and deeply self-trusting in relationships (and beyond). Karuna shares the real, raw moments (crying in the shower, questioning everything, and wondering if the anxiety would ever go away). But through coaching, truth-telling, and data-driven reflection (yes, we get nerdy), she experienced a 75%+ increase in her confidence, mindset, and self-trust AND a 133% decrease in her overthinking.

Ashma KC, the reigning Miss Nepal, is a social work student and entrepreneur with a deep passion for women's empowerment. Karuna Rawat, Miss Nepal International 2024, is a registered nurse committed to advocating for children's mental health. Both queens are now preparing to pass on their crowns to their successors at the upcoming Miss Nepal 2025 pageant.

Host Myrna Young welcomes Karuna to explore the mystic realms of Kundalini Yoga. With an illustrious career spanning several decades, Karuna shares her journey into the world of Kundalini Yoga, discussing its ancient roots and spiritual significance. This episode delves deep into how Kundalini Yoga is not merely a physical exercise but a comprehensive spiritual practice that promotes personal growth and self-awareness.Listeners will gain insights into the profound benefits of Kundalini Awakening as Karuna explains how it harmonizes energy within the body, aims to awaken one's consciousness, and unify the mind, body, and spirit. "Kundalini Awakening," "spiritual healing," "Ayurvedic practices," "chakras," and "10 bodies" feature prominently throughout the discussion. Karuna elaborates on the various aspects of the Kundalini Yoga landscape, touching on the elements of the practice, including meditation, mudras, and mantras. Through anecdotes and teachings, Karuna exemplifies how these practices form a crucial toolkit for personal and spiritual transformation.Key Takeaways:Kundalini Yoga is not just a physical exercise, but a practice aimed at spiritual awakening through harmonizing and awakening dormant energy.Working with the chakras and the 10 bodies are central to experiencing a Kundalini Awakening.The practice of meditation and mantra in Kundalini Yoga helps align the spiritual, mental, and physical aspects of the body, creating a state of awareness.The journey of Kundalini involves embracing both the infinite and the finite, facilitating personal growth and consciousness expansion.Resources:Find more about Karuna and her work at lightonkundalini.com.Follow Karuna on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn via Light on Kundalini.Sponsors of this podcast MINT Mobile Get this new customer offer and your 3-month Unlimited wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month at MINT MOBILE.com/TRANSFORM. ShopifySign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at SHOPIFY.COM/transform To advertise on our podcast, visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TransformyourMindor email kriti@youngandprofiting.com See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

In the tenth Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, we find a verse left for all of us here today by Śukadeva Goswāmī. All of those who feel left behind, who feel hopeless in life, who are striving for the spiritual world, find that it's like reaching for the moon. He wrote: 'Jayanti jana-nivāso devakī-janma-vādo yadu-vara-pariṣat svair dorbhir asyann adharmam sthira-cara-vṛjina-ghnaḥ su-smita-śrī-mukhena vraja-pura-vanitānāṁ vardhayan kāma-devam (SB 10.90.48).' The verse starts with the word Jayati, which means victory, but it is written in the present tense because Śukadeva understood that people after Krishna's disappearance would feel separation from Him and wonder, "Why couldn't His pastimes have gone on even to the present day?" And here he's saying they are going on right now for us, right here in this room. 'Jayanti jana-nivāso devakī-janma-vādo' - He's the Lord who is jayanti jana-nivāsaḥ. He walks among us. He gives His association to all human beings, and for those who enter deeply within the sādhana given to us by Śrīla Rūpa Goswāmī, He is perfectly present in our lives. We need never fear separation from Him by continuing the transcendental vibration in our lives, and the transcendental vibration is the clarion call for everyone to go back home, back to Godhead. Anyone who wants to go back to Godhead, say, "Hare Krishna!" We're going to be singing the Hare Krishna mahā-mantra. This is the most famous song in the world. It's not only sweeping the nation here, but all over the world: Russia, Australia, China, Mexico, Japan. In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam it is mentioned that in the spiritual world, every devotee of Krishna has a unique rāga or a melody for which he or she sings to Krishna from his or her heart. Then it goes on to say that actually, every species of life has a unique rāga to express their deep yearning for Krishna. This next rāga is called Haṃsadhvani, and it is the rāga of the swan. The gracefulness, the aesthetic beauty of the spiritual world, once captured in one's mind, it never leaves. And the song brings us to the swan swimming back to its home. So let's all take Haṃsadhvani into our heart and go back home, back to Godhead. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

In this episode of Heal Here, I'm talking about something I've been wrestling with lately - the role of AI in the spiritual space. I'm sharing my honest experiences using ChatGPT, what felt aligned (and what didn't), and a powerful channeled message I received from the Akashic Records about technology, truth, and discernment. I also reflect on how our evolving relationship with technology carries echoes of Atlantis, and what it means to walk this path with awareness, using tools like AI without outsourcing our sacred connection to Source. In this episode: Spiritual karaoke Transmuting pain into purpose Using creativity as a healing portal My first experiences with AI AI and the ADHD brain False validation and spiritual bypassing Can AI replace therapy? AI impersonating the Akashic Records The importance of spiritual discernment Atlantis, tech misuse, and power distortion A channeled message from the Akashic Records about AI Energetic hygiene & intention when using tech Why your creativity should never be outsourced Finding your middle path with AI The AI writing fingerprint Spiritual integrity in a digital age If you are enjoying this podcast I would really appreciate a rating and review, so that my work can reach more people. Thank-you so so much for your support!!

“Voice is the most valued part of yoga. How you communicate and how you are received and heard as a student, as a teacher, as a divine human being. When your voice has not been heard, how does one open this channel? Yes, chanting for sure. Yet a deeper exploration has to be heard from within, a longing to be heard.” - KarunaToday's featured bestselling author is a mom, celebrated Yogini, ordained minister, founder of lightonkundalini.com, and co-founder of Light on Light Publications, Karuna.
