FeministBuddhist: January 2016
https://feministbuddhist.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Wednesday, January 27, 2016. Religious folk will talk about the longing to touch God or to feel God. The longing for me since as far as I can remember is to experience reciprocated emotional intimacy on a depth that I am certain I have never experienced in a relationship. And like an untouchable mystic spirit tucked away out of reach - it’s the Holy Grail of romantic life. Most of us have been shut down by ...

Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Photo by GraceChon.com. I discovered meditation initially as a coping mechanism, a form of cheap therapy unattached to any religious or spiritual label. When I could feel curiosity kicking and screaming during my novice meditation practices I gradually started turning to the study of Buddhist philosophy - the. And then to other Buddhists. For advice, connection, and understanding.

FeministBuddhist: No Walls Required
https://feministbuddhist.blogspot.com/2016/01/no-walls-required.html
Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Sunday, January 3, 2016. I don't know what you're talking about. That's not something I have. Can we please not talk about that. The intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefor unworthy of love and belonging. Is how researcher and storyteller Brene Brown defines shame. It's the unobtainable, hopeless, conflicting expectations about who we are supposed to be. My theor...

Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Saturday, February 20, 2016. Nachiketa and the Kingdom of Death. The following is my adaptation and interpretations of an ancient Upanishads story. These original stories were written in Sanskrit likely somewhere between 400 and 200 BC and centralized its teachings on philosophy, moral conduct and the path to salvation. Nachiketa and the Kingdom of Death. Beyond the rice fields into the dark forest where Ya...

Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Monday, February 16, 2015. When I see a woman I'm attracted to, my body tingles with all kinds of throbbing sensations, and I get that hot zealous feeling in my pants. I think about all the things I want to do to her body. Then I want to talk to her and get to know her. I want to look into her eyes and hear her whole life story. Me too." my lover says as he holds my gaze. We smirk. He turns his back to me a...

Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Friday, June 3, 2016. Where is your boyfriend? 8221; I reply. Her eyes and mouth go wide with surprise but once she sees my serene smile and languid shrug, she leans across the counter at me with a knowing look and scrunches up her face as if she is smelling a fart. Ah, you dump him because he is. Yi mao bu ba. He is like Iron Cock - one feather won’t pull out! Wang Xiu Ying is implying. Seeing an opportuni...

Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Saturday, September 19, 2015. The blonde chick on the stoop drags on her cigarette and nods towards the over-sized orange tour bus parked on Queen street West. 8220;Who’s playing tonight? 8220;Ani Difranco” I reply. Her eyes bug out and she repeats the name but pronounces it “Annie”. 8220;Holy. Fuck. Untouchable Face. Is the best breakup song of all time” she claims. A father and son shift in and sit one ro...

Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Saturday, December 26, 2015. 1989 Was A Good Year. As a self-proclaimed lyric junkie, the most meaningful element of a song is the story. The cherry on top is the accompanied melodies - the ‘second voice’ as I like to call it, to which the feelings are safely attached. There’s an intense bond that forms with an artist the moment you hear them take the words right out of your mouth. Ryan Adams is an American...

Exploring the universal paths of the human condition through the lens of a peace-seeking feminist. Friday, October 30, 2015. You walk into a grocery store that appears to be selling only apples and oranges. The shopkeeper is beautiful and charming and proudly shows you their collection of apples and oranges which appear delicious if you like apples and oranges - which you do. And they certainly know their apples and oranges. They’re not rejecting YOU, can’t you see? It is you, after all, who cannot susta...
