My butt

edited January 2011 in General Banter
I just got a new pair of pants. In the past few years I have lost a lot of weight and have been wearing clothes too big for me. As i walked by a mirror I paused long enough to evaluate myself in my new pants and decided my butt looks pretty good.
I don't know where to take these feelings.

    Why take them anywhere? Just be happy! Nothing wrong with having a nice butt :)

    Take them, tie them in a hanky, and tuck them into your back pocket. Where they belong..... :D

    Tell me about it.... :rolleyes:

    I have to say, I did move this one from "Buddhism for beginners" :wtf:

    to General Banter.... Hopefully people will understand why.... :buck:

    You enjoy the sensation of having a smaller butt, and you are grateful that you have succeeded in losing the weight. The human body is a wonderful blessing! If you also feel good about how it looks, that's just something else to feel gratitude about.

    Basically, its all good, as my meditation teacher is always saying :)

    I'm not going to congratulate you on your butt, sndymorn, but I will congratulate you on your weight loss--no mean feat. Congrats on your healthier self.

    Where to take the feelings? There are two directions:

    Either get baggier pants and go gangsta or get more form-fitting pants and shake your booty.

    The haptic proprioceptions will be taken either to "fast and loose-fitting" or "tight and out there."

    Otherwise, keep the feelings where they are: in the present - in front of and behind you. :D

    I would say you can take them for a walk so everyone else can enjoy your butt... or you can view your butt rightly as impermanent, suffering and not-self.

    Let go of the feelings, don't cling. Same as with emotions in general.

    I think that would be gluteophilia :)

    I wonder if the move to Vanilla is the culprit. The main reason being all the discussions from the different sub-forums are blended together on the main page. This creates an appearance of disorder, which perhaps affects what people choose to write about.

    I think a more organized main page would be an improvement...

    A view of my butt must remain like"the palm at the end of your mind."
    It is better for all concerned .

    Maybe Buddha had a teaching on butts?

    I think applying the 4 Nobel Truths would work quite well in this situation!

    Four Nobel Truths
    1. Existence of Suffering (because said butt does not fit well in jeans)
    2. Causes of Suffering (big jeans, small butt, not enough $$ to buy new jeans that fit)
    3. End From Suffering (finding the perfect set of jeans)
    4. Way Leading To The end of Suffering, the Nobel Eightfold Path;

    Nobel Eightfold Path
    1. Right view (of butt in the mirror)
    2. Right Intention (to keep the butt small)
    3. Right Speech (don't call the butt "big")
    4. Right Action (working out, eating less)
    5. Right Livelihood (one that gets you off your butt)
    6. Right Effort (searching until one finds jeans that make the butt look good)
    7. Right Mindfulness (making sure one only wears the perfect set of jeans and keeps thin)
    8. Right Concentration (when guys stare at your butt all the time)

    Hope this helps.

    Indeed. Buddhism as it applies to real life :)
