Non-clinging Awareness's video: Guided Meditation on Equanimity with Joseph Goldstein

A guided meditation focusing on how to cultivate equanimity with Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein. Develop a mind that is vast like space, where experience both pleasant and unpleasant can appear and disappear without conflict, struggle or harm. Rest in a mind like vast sky. ~ Buddha I am the heir of my own actions, my happiness and unhappiness depends on my actions, not upon on my wishes. Go beyond good and bad by refraining from mentally labeling anything as good or bad. When you go beyond the habitual naming, the power of the universe moves through you. When you are in a nonreactive relationship to experiences, what you would have called "bad" before often turns around quickly, if not immediately, through the power of life itself. Watch what happens when you don't name an experience as "bad" and instead bring an inner acceptance, an inner "yes" to it, and so let it be as it is. ~Eckhart Tolle I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old. I am of the nature to have ill-health. There is no way to escape having ill-health. I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death. All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand. - Thich Nhat Hanh If anyone says that a person must reap according to his deeds, if anyone thinks the law of karma is inexorable, then he is saying that there is no spiritual life or growth, nor is there any opportunity to bring confusion to an end. But if anyone says that what a person reaps is in accordance with his deeds, in that case a spiritual life can exist and there is opportunity for realization. ~ Anguttara Nikaya Without love, there is no right action. We talk about action. We do so many kinds of social work. But when there is love in your heart, in your eyes, in your blood, in your face, you are a different human being. Whatever you do then has beauty, has grace, is a right action. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti I am the owner of my actions (karma), heir to my actions, born of my actions, related through my actions, and have my actions as my arbitrator. Whatever I do, for good or for evil, to that will I fall heir. And the mind of the Great Being was not moved. Whether gods or demons should arise - be not moved.
