(Cloud Mountain Retreat Center) In Itivuttaka 38, the Buddha talks about how the Tathāgata frequently has two thoughts: one about sanctuary and the other about seclusion. The thought about sanctuary, the safety and security for living beings, comes from his love of and delight in kindness. The thought comes from the Buddha's love of seclusion and his delight in it, so this thought often occurs to him: ‘What is unskillful has been given up.' The Buddha encouraged his disciples to love kindness and delight in it, then this thought will often occur to them: ‘Through this behavior, I shall not hurt any creature firm or frail.' He also encouraged them to love seclusion and delight in it, then this thought will often occur to them: ‘What is unskillful? What is not given up? What should I give up?'”

The Land Podcast - The Pursuit of Land Ownership and Investing
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Kaleb Greiner. We discuss: Mature bucks thrive in overlooked cover pockets. Small ditch farms can outperform big timber farms. Seclusion from roads matters more than acreage. Waterholes can dramatically improve deer movement. Deer use waterholes year-round, not just in summer. Overdoing CRP can remove critical destination food. Alfalfa outperforms clover during drought conditions. Fencing grain plots is essential in high-density areas. TSI improvements can impact deer movement immediately. Permission hunting still produces giant bucks consistently. And so much more! Thanks again for all of the support from our partners—none of this would've been possible without them! -Moultrie: https://bit.ly/moultrie_ -Hawke Optics | Use Code WHTL for 15% off: https://bit.ly/hawkeoptics_ -OnX: https://bit.ly/onX_Hunt -Painted Arrow: bit.ly/PaintedArrow - Buck Land Funding: https://www.firstbankers.com/bucklandfunding - Latitude Outdoors: https://www.latitudeoutdoors.com/ - Whitetail Master Academy https://www.whitetailmasteracademy.com - Use code 'HOFER' to save 10% off at www.theprairiefarm.com - Massive potential tax savings: ASMLABS.Net
Seclusion rooms have been used in Minnesota for decades, as a last-resort response to student behavioral issues in the classroom. The use of these solitary rooms was banned for some of the youngest learners statewide in 2023, after they were deemed harmful and ineffective. But now, the Minnesota Senate is considering reversing that ban for children in grade three and under until 2036. That's because, according to some administrators, schools need more time to plan alternatives to seclusion rooms. Minnesota School Psychologists Association President-elect Tascha Just joined MPR News host Nina Moini to share context on seclusion rooms and the conflict surrounding the ban.

From the publisher: "The Presidential Retreat Camp David is shrouded in mystery, and rightfully so. The hidden retreat atop the Catoctin Mountains is the one place the President, First Family, and invited guests can gather in absolute secrecy for relaxation, rejuvenation, and world-changing decisions. Because of this dedication to privacy, and a desire to maintain the mystery and exclusivity of the last bastion of solitude for the President, few comprehensive accounts exist detailing the storied history of Camp David and the role the “Spirit of Camp David” plays in world affairs. Presidential Seclusion provides an exclusive account of the mysterious and storied retreat. Extensively researched from Presidential Archives as well as from the pages of Presidential memoirs, this non-partisan, informative account weaves exclusive stories into a tapestry revealing the importance of Camp David on diplomacy and world history. Written by the former Camp David Historian, this personalized tour of the exclusive retreat makes tree-shrouded trails, majestic vistas, and rooms where history happened over the last 80 years accessible to everyone. As you read, the “Spirit of Camp David” is revealed to infuse everyone who works and visits the President's private mountain retreat, mainly how Camp David personally affected its primary guests, the fifteen First Families fortunate to call the private retreat a second home."Charles Ferguson's website can be found here: https://www.charlesfergusonbooks.com/Information on his book from Prometheus Books can be found here: https://www.globepequot.com/9781493091461/presidential-seclusion/AxelbankHistory.com is designed by https://www.ellieclairedesigns.com/Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Seclusion Through Mindfulness"
Join us as we unpack three distinct types of equanimity: equanimity as an enlightenment factor, equanimity of energy, and equanimity about formations. Margaret's insights into these essential aspects of Buddhist philosophy provide listeners with practical tools for maintaining emotional balance in the face of life's ups and downs. Key Highlights: · Equanimity as an Enlightenment Factor: This episode begins with the exploration of equanimity as one of the seven factors essential for enlightenment. Margaret discusses how cultivating equanimity helps in abandoning mental defilements and regulates our emotional responses. Through seclusion, dispassion, and cessation, we can nurture this vital quality in our lives. · Five Paths to Equanimity: Discover the five practical paths to achieving equanimity, which emphasize maintaining neutrality towards all living beings, avoiding favoritism, and fostering connections with neutral individuals. These strategies serve to strengthen our resolve and enhance our equanimity in daily interactions. · Equanimity of Energy: Tune in to learn about the delicate balance of energy necessary for optimal performance, as explained through the Yerkes-Dodson Law. Margaret compares this balance to the tuning of lute strings, highlighting how too much tension or too little can hinder our ability to concentrate and meditate effectively. · Equanimity About Formations: The discussion shifts to understanding the impermanence of our experiences and the critical realization that formations are not inherently "me" or "mine." This perspective is vital for progressing spiritually, from the entry point on the path to achieving the state of an arhant. · Core Insights for Life: As we navigate challenging times, Margaret emphasizes the importance of cultivating a "wise mind and gentle heart." This approach is not only practical but essential for maintaining equanimity amidst turmoil. · Spiritual Development: Wrapping up the episode, we reflect on the importance of recognizing suffering, impermanence, and the concept of non-self as foundational elements in the journey toward spiritual neutrality and growth. Tune in now to gain valuable insights that can help you navigate your own path with greater equanimity.
