Re: What we are doing right?

I guess one thing I'm doing right is not letting the current political shenanigans get to me. I've resolved to accept the things I cannot change, have the courage to change the things I can, and do my best to discern the difference.

I won't let it go to my head, lol.

Re: Being mindful of our actions

Being human is samsara and being a Buddha (as we all try to be) is nirvana. Are they different? Nah!

Samsara = Mind turned outwards lost in its projection (Been there and done that-more times than I care to admit)
Nirvana = Mind turned inwards recognising its true nature (Practicing on being there and doing that-practice makes perfect and perfect practice makes perfect practice)

Re: Being mindful of our actions

Some might say that..

Samsara = phenomena being subjugated by a "self versus others" mentality.

Is such suffering actually addressed merely by the direction that a mind faces?
Couldn't a Mind turned inwards also describe myopic limitations, just as a mind
turned outwards might offer a wider world beyond the walls of our sandbox?

Nirvana= phenomena no longer being shang-highed by an ego's cravings.

What does a No Mind know anyway?
Appropriate actions are one spoke of the 8 fold path wheel and as such are best supported by the understanding, thought, speech, lively hood/relationships, effort, mindfulness & concentration of the 4 Nobel Truths.
