BUDDHA'S PILLOW: Anger
http://buddhaspillow.blogspot.com/2010/09/anger.html
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. The politics of anger are rising from the relatively wealthy in the form of the Tea Party. In America. Funny. I am reminded of the advent of the French revolution, when the relatively affluent Bourgeoisie. Manipulated the destitute and truly poor to dislodge the aristocracy for them. The result was a Reign of Terror, in which many of those leaders of the Bourgeoisie were cannibalized by their own monster. Posted by Paul Creeden. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

BUDDHA'S PILLOW: Cleanliness
http://buddhaspillow.blogspot.com/2010/09/cleanliness.html
Friday, September 10, 2010. The old Puritan ethic said, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." This is one of the very rare instances where I agree with Puritanism. Cleanliness. Also lies at the core of Zen Buddhist practice, a traditional practice with which I more readily identify. I have developed daily and weekly routines of cleanliness in my practice. For example, I have reduced the objects in my environment to make it easier to keep surfaces free of accumulated dust. Each object in my home has...The p...

BUDDHA'S PILLOW: Crises
http://buddhaspillow.blogspot.com/2010/09/crises.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. The best way to avoid constant crises in life is to avoid constant crises in life. By increasing your awareness and general state of mindfulness, many of life's so-called crises can be avoided entirely by proper planning and responsible action. Posted by Paul Creeden.

Thursday, September 23, 2010. This is my last post on. My new blog is.

BUDDHA'S PILLOW: Awakened
http://buddhaspillow.blogspot.com/2010/09/awakened.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. The sleepwalker passes through life with eyes fixed firmly on his past and, walking backwards through his present into his future, he allows his path to be directed by the life situations which he bumps into. The awakened looks ahead to the future with a firm footing in the moment, each moment, a slippery stone in the stream of ever changing life. Posted by Paul Creeden.

BUDDHA'S PILLOW: Autumn
http://buddhaspillow.blogspot.com/2010/09/autumn.html
Wednesday, September 22, 2010. In the Northern Hemisphere, we move into Autumn. The arc of the sun shrinks on the horizon. Days shorten. The light becomes sharper on clear, dry days. It is easy to ignore the turning of the seasons in an urban environment. Our lives, tied to illuminated panels, large and small, are less impacted by the shrinking hours of natural light. The projected world, a transmitted construct of bytes and code, fuses with the natural world in our distracted minds. So nice. :). Gordon,...

BUDDHA'S PILLOW: Politics
http://buddhaspillow.blogspot.com/2010/09/politics.html
Friday, September 17, 2010. The media obsession with details of politics in America breeds an apathy, born of overkill. Politics have overshadowed government. The manipulations for power have become a spectator sport on the level of professional wrestling. Meanwhile, the quality of American government on all levels deteriorates. Look at your roads, your buses, your subway trains for an illustration. There comes a time in any organization's life when it begins to exist for itself, not for those who have f...

BUDDHA'S PILLOW: Taxes
http://buddhaspillow.blogspot.com/2010/09/taxes.html
Wednesday, September 08, 2010. Life in a civilized society requires citizen participation. Too few citizens vote. Even fewer actually contribute time to their local city or town government. Crimes are observed and unreported daily. People treat the public space like a trash can. I speculate that many of the people who scream against taxation of any kind exhibit the least responsible behavior in the public sphere. Posted by Paul Creeden. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

BUDDHA'S PILLOW: September 2010

Thursday, September 23, 2010. This is my last post on. My new blog is. In the spirit of this new Humanism, I have decided to write under a more direct title, one which better describes me and the way I view humanism in my life. Posted by Paul Creeden. I hear we live in a consumer economy. The term is used in media constantly. It is a given. By defining human beings as consumers, some human beings exploit human greed and materialism for great profit. This is not new. I come back to the Japanese Buddhist m...
