Tricycle Daily Dharma June 16, 2013

A Peaceful Mind

A hallmark of a genuine Buddhist practitioner is a truly peaceful mind. Advocating peace is not enough. One must have a mind that remains unflustered and nonaggressive even in extreme circumstances, including when one is provoked.

- Rita M. Gross, "Buddhism and Religious Diversity"

Tricycle red T Week Two of the Eight Awarenesses: Serenity and Meticulous Effort

In this second week of Zen teachers Chodo and Koshin's retreat, "Serenity and Meticulous Effort," they explore the third and fourth awarenesses from the Mahaparinirvana Sutra: serenity and meticulous effort. Serenity is not just about bliss, but about about finding presence and grace in the moment to moment chaos of daily life. This part of the practice demands rigor and constant effort; it is the ability to turn outwards and open to life, however terrifying or difficult it may seem to be. Watch the teaching.
