Touring the Buddhoblogospehere

Time for a turn of couple sharing, as well as not of a golf variety, although there might be a bit of "putt, putt" along a way (see above).

First off, we added a bit of thoughtfulness to a posts we did a small while behind on young kids as well as Buddhism. You can find a post, as well as an active contention over during Buddhist Geeks.

Jaye over during Digital Zendo has an excellent post about a teacher/student attribute in Zen. we was generally changed by this paragraph:

It was during this point we had been feeling so powerless that a lot of anger was surfacing, In an email to me Genjo Osho wrote to me; Sounds similar to a tough day in a formidable position. In regards to your temper, it is fully yours, no a single else is responsible. we someday remove my rage (thankfully much reduction than before!), though we know that when this happens there is customarily a little lucid movement that we am not taking. My rage is nearly always projected onto others, though unequivocally it arises from my own folly of not receiving a little movement that in hindsight we should have taken. In other words, many mostly my rage flares when we destroy to do something that in a moment is too tough to do. He was saying something, from a position that we could or would not see, not formed on superiority though due to effort, experience, use as well as joint with his own heart-mind. Since we was blinded by circumstances, he was saying for me, since we could not as well as so that we would not only survive though live.

I'm unequivocally interested in investigating this "folly of not receiving a little action" comment some-more deeply.

Over during Alan Senauke's brand new blog, he is chronicaling a current hearing for Jarvis Masters, an African-American Buddhist as well as writer who is on genocide row for a murder he substantially didn't commit. Whether or not he's guilty, we firmly stand a! gainst a genocide penalty, as well as hold it is prolonged past due time to abolish it's use once as well as for all.

At a trial, Alan observed:

all a principles in court, except for Jarvis (and a single corrections officer there for security) are white. Mostly white men. Some on a single side, a little on a other. This includes all a police officers seen over a last dual days. we pull no organisation conclusions from this, in reserve from noting where energy as well as management appear to rest in a authorised complement as well as in this nation as a whole.

The legacy of institutional injustice in a U.S. "Justice" complement is really prolonged as well as awful, as well as so when saying this kind of dynamic, it's really formidable not to consider "here we go again."

Over during her brand new blog, Maia has a post about Maha Ghosananda (1929 2007), a Cambodian Buddhist who has been compared to Gandhi. Like a practice we have been reading about in Chan Khong's book, a ways in that Maha Ghosananda worked with a great suffering of Cambodians during as well as after a Khmer Rouge duration are all moving as well as absolutely humbling.

Genju has a good post examining equanimity, that we consider many of us mistakenly consider means being calm, cool, as well as isolated in all circumstances.

And finally, Algernon brings up a aged what's flapping koan, that is always worth flapping with in my view.

Enjoy!
