  1. @GenKreton Not much left of Walden Pond, but your meditation and appreciation keep the gift of Thoreau alive for us!
  2. @GenKreton What a great place to meditate and get inspiration! Thoreu has much to teach us about the simple and happy life.

  4. Secular Buddhism is a path of practice that can free us of suffering in our daily lives; no need to worry about before or after this life.
  5. His explanation of the Four Noble Truths & Eightfold Path does not require metaphysics to live a path of awakening. That is my experience.
  6. @ZenDirtZenDust Yes, Secular Buddhism is a good foundation for practice. I just returned from 8 days with Stephen Batchelor on retreat.
  7. It is possible to skip the turkey and love the meal! ~ RT @Bodhipaksa: Going vegetarian for Thanksgiving: http://bit.ly/4tV7lN
  8. @ZenDirtZenDust Even secular Buddhism is only one tool (intellectual) to realize the Dharma and awaken.
  9. @ZenDirtZenDust I think of my "foundation" as my practice and my experience in the context of traditions, lineages, Suttas, teachers.
  10. Given the negativity bias in our brains, tilting towards the positive actually rights a neurological imbalance ~ Buddha's Brain
  11. One way to foster the positive:look for & turn positive facts into positive experiences by paying attention- from Buddha's Brain ~ R Hanson
  12. The happy person has to cultivate positive experiences since our brains are Velcro for negative events and teflon for positve experiences.
  13. RT @ToddGloria: To all our nation's veterans: Thank you for your service!
  14. May everything be our teacher! RT @ZenDirtZenDust:The bow to my teacher: leaves in my yard. That need raking and the wind the challenges me
  15. Waking up this morning may I use everything today to awaken, letting go of greed, hatred, and delusion..& their litlle brothers and sisters.
  16. @BrentCorrigan I like it!
  17. @ookiee Intention... the second part of the Noble Eightfold Path makes all the difference in letting go or giving up.
  18. RT @AHizz: @BellyUpTavern supports #H8! Do NOT spend $$ there or at Pacific Coast Grill & Muttropolis Pet Stores. http://ow.ly/ATfe
  19. Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom - by Rick Hanson Ph.D. et al. - New Harbinger. http://j.mp/1XeSdh
  20. Day off for reentry from retreat. Reading R Hanson's new book Buddha's Brain. Fascinating parallels of Dharma and neuroscience.
