What you would use to extinguish a stake? Water or more fire?
Thus, it is only love that can extinguish hatred.

Money is a cancer

Posted By Sensei on November 17th, 2011

Money is a cancer.
It grows, devours us, as a metastasis.
Now completely detached from the value of life and its useful things, money is flooding in every body and mind with its putrid mud.
As in ancient religions, every moment, we sacrifice to this god evil our good food, clean air, drinking water, our lives, the lives of our children, and love and all the joy of our hearts.
In return for this wicked huge sacrifice, we receive back a handful of his useless black cancer that spews his desperate hatred in the world.

Meditation for Calm - Breathing in 4 Steps

Posted By Sensei on April 16th, 2009

Bodhidharma, by Yoshitoshi, 1887.

Bodhidharma, by Yoshitoshi, 1887.

Who is so lucky to be never particularly agitated or anxious?
Sometimes, unfortunately, we happen to face even more critical situations, such as panic attacks, anger, or emotional states characteristic of depression.

If we are able to recognize the occurrence of certain body-mind situations we are already well advanced.
The second step is to try to control these negative emotions positively with, for example, a simple breathing exercise:

  1. inhale slowly with the nose counting (within our mind) to 5 and focusing on breath and numbers
  2. hold the breath by counting to 5 and focusing on the numbers and the beat of our heart (which soon will be felt calm and deep)
  3. exhale slowly through the lips just opened up and counting up to 5 with the mind
  4. withhold the emptiness of our lungs again counting to 5
  5. repeat to 1 up to a full and satisfactory calm

It’s important that we focus on the numbers, the breath and the heartbeat. In doing so we prevent our minds to think otherwise. This is because it is already hard enough to count, to feel your heart and control your breathing.

When your mind will continue to think of others and especially to thoughts that trigger negative emotions do not be discouraged. View by posting these thoughts pass and deflect attention firmly taking to control the breath, counting and feel your heart.

In repeating the exercise we can lengthen each phase counting slowly or counting up to 6, 7, and how far we want.
