Sangha of Auspicious Companions

Dalai Lama Quote from Snow Lion Publications

Dalai Lama Quote of the Week Courageous Bodhisattvas risk their lives to help others, and so, when we are in relatively better, more comfortable situations, we must certainly practice giving. Even if they are threatened, the courageous ones will not engage in improper actions. Instead, after examining the situation carefully, when they find that certain actions are correct and justified, on the basis of reason, they engage in them even at the risk of their lives. That is the way of the decent, civilized and courageous ones, who do not follow misleading paths.(p.20) –from Generous Wisdom: Commentaries by H.H. the Dalai Lama XIV on the Jatakamala, Garland of Birth Stories by H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama, translated by Tenzin Dorjee, edited by Dexter Roberts Generous Wisdom • Now at 4O% off!

And yet it retains both hopefulness and an action-plan. “The only way you can change anything,” he slams, “is to look in the mirror and find no enemy.” Share: Related KarmaTube Videos Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir The Fun Theory: Piano Stairs Designing For Generosity Strongest Dad In the World About KarmaTube: KarmaTube is a collection of inspiring videos accompanied by simple actions every viewer can take.

Recovering the Heart of Medicine

Recovering the sacred is remembering something we’ve forgotten, something we may have hidden from ourselves. It is about uncovering and discovering the innate wholeness in ourselves and in the world. — Dr. Naomi Rachel Remen

Inspiration of the Day:
“Our modern view of disease is that disease is centered in the body. The older view of disease is that it is soul loss, a loss of connection, of meaning, of purpose, of essence. If this is so, the real task of the medical system is to heal soul loss, to aid in the retrieval of the soul. What is needed is not to develop more of a spiritual practice or to go to church more. Our task is to recognize that we are always on sacred ground, that there is no split between the sacred and secular. That there is no task that is not sacred in nature and no relationship that is not sacred in nature. Life is a spiritual practice. Health care, which serves life, is a spiritual practice.” Renowned medical leader Dr. Naomi Rachel Remen shares more about recovering the heart of medicine.
