It’s all dhamma. Exploring living by dying to every moment. At the beginning, this was a way for me to explain to those who wanted to know, why I had left a good job, abandoned an apartment lease, sold my belongings, and bought a one-way ticket to Burma. It then served as a link to the outside world while I practiced intensive meditation, and has since continued to be a practice journal in daily life. Over time, my impression of what the precipice. At this point. Please take advantage of the resources.

What happens when you decide not to call yourself a Buddhist | on the precipice
https://sharanam.wordpress.com/2011/10/09/what-happens-when-you-decide-not-to-call-yourself-a-buddhist
It’s all dhamma. Exploring living by dying to every moment. What happens when you decide not to call yourself a Buddhist. I also had no idea how much I’d learned during my stay in Burma until my return to the US a little over half a year later, as I saw conditioned patterns reemerge and now had tools to be with difficult emotions, to divert habitual reactions, to be present fully. What does Dhamma mean to me? What is right livelihood? May we find ways to reach across seeming divides, of language and cult...

It’s all dhamma. Exploring living by dying to every moment. A chronological list of posts on this site. I went to Mongolia, saw a reindeer be born, and it kind of changed my life. Everything called into question. A revolutionary view on relationship. What we are meant to do. So what is happiness? Nomad by nature, perhaps. On the way to Myanmar. To be a Buddhist. The Internet is a perennial source of dukkha. Why meditation, why intensive retreat practice. Awareness for daily life. The gift of presence.

It’s all dhamma. Exploring living by dying to every moment. It’s all … movement. Of or relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process. Occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. First, an explanation perhaps. Why months have gone by without a word. A post in October but penned in August. A flurry of opinions I’d sat on for months before that, released into the world with trepidation and with consequences. Life hasn’t really been the same. How’s your practice? It chan...
