Also, a friend sent me a great book called The Order of Time by physicist Carlo Rovelli, excellent bedtime reading. This is by way of preamble as to why I’m talking about the cool science shown in this quantum video, here. For a practical guided meditation to start feeling that refuge, check out this article.
“There are too many unhappy people already,” as Geshe Kelsang once put it. We can’t solve our own or others’ problems if we stay confused and unhappy. This will not only help ourselves, but transform us into a source of refuge and courage for others. It is a good idea to visit that refuge zone every single morning when we wake up (instead of the caveman mentality that immediately casts around for things to worry about) until one day we discover we never have to leave it. Therefore, rather than using our delusions to solve all our problems outside the mind, in the “real world”– which in chapter after chapter of our life is turning out to be a rather exhausting and futile venture - I think the sooner we can shift into that Dharma perspective the better.
#PARADIGM SHIFT IN LIFE FREE#
Literally whenever we have this Dharma experience functioning in our minds, we are free from feeling anxious, free from feeling tight or hemmed in by the day’s worries, free from feeling overwhelmed. In Buddhism we rely on the realistic minds of wisdom and compassion, starting with a confidence that we can grow these because we have Buddha seed or Buddha nature.
Blaze the fire of wisdom, and it can consume all our delusions and suffering. Someone just sent me this gif, saying she has been trying this out in her meditation sessions on retreat, lol.
