SECULAR, SYSTEMATIC EXAMINATION OF REALITY
Secular, Systematic Examination Of Reality We don’t have to be religious or spiritual to experience our primary nature of consciousness. Secular examination is based on our human faculties of logic, empathy, reason and moral intuition, none of which are derived from supernatural revelations. We see, … Continue reading
LOVE IS CONFIDENCE
Love Is Confidence Confidence is complete certainty about the truth, through experience. Empathy is confidence bursting with compassion.
WHAT IS AUTHENTIC, GENUINE, VERIFIABLE PRACTICE?
What Is Authentic, Genuine, Verifiable Practice? It’s not meditation, chanting mantras, saying prayers, waving vajras and bells, doing prostrations, listening to teachings, holding retreats, shaving your head: neither is it in flags, Buddha statues, tanka paintings, shrines, beads, cords, robes, … Continue reading
NO EMPATHY; KNOW APATHY
No Empathy; Know Apathy Without empathy there can be neither compassion nor love, and so we remain in apathy. When we talk about spirituality, we want to be inspired and uplifted and think only good things, but we have to … Continue reading
BEING WISE
Being Wise “Being wise, we suffer fools gladly.” 2 Corinthians 11:19 If we claim to be wise, we would not fall out with the foolish. That’s if we were wise. The way of the Bodhisattva starts by testing, stretching, energising, … Continue reading

COMPASSION – DOES IT WORK?
Compassion – Does It Work? Well, we are not going to change the world – not in its current mindset of over reaction and aggression. So what’s compassion all about, then? It’s all about remaining tranquil within one’s own mind, … Continue reading
WHAT CAN WE TRUST?
What Can We Trust? Good things happen to us, bad things happen to us, horrid things happen to us: there is no escaping this fact because it’s actually happening. That is what we can trust – that things happen. What … Continue reading

WHEN THE LIGHT’S ON, WE CAN SEE
When The Light’s On, We Can See This sounds so stupidly obvious but here, the light means clarity – clear seeing. “The clear light of bliss.” When I first took to the spiritual path, a tutor just happened to mention … Continue reading
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING?
Who Is To Blame For Everything? The answer is … empty essence! Isn’t that surprising? We may want to blame the Buddhas – or deities – for not doing more for mankind, but if they do anything, they would show … Continue reading
SPIRITUAL NARCISSISM AND SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM
Spiritual Narcissism and Spiritual Materialism This is a touchy subject which requires delicate handling as it’s possible to become oversensitive and upset. All we are doing is being aware of our potential behaviour. After all, our path is our confusion, … Continue reading

AWAKENING COMPASSION
Awakening Compassion means waking up to our reality. It means love … even though! When we realise our own true nature, compassion naturally arises in recognition that all sentient beings want happiness, and that this happiness is hidden from them. … Continue reading
WHERE DOES GOODWILL START?
Where Does Goodwill Start? It starts with ourselves. Before there can be goodwill towards others, we must be able to understand and have empathy for the confusion of others, and to do that, we have to understand our own confusion. … Continue reading

OUR LIFE IS JUST A STORY
Our Life Is Just A Story We become so involved in and obsessed by our story – our life – that we don’t bother about how the story started, and where it will end. When we were young, we acquired … Continue reading
THE PLANET OF SLEEPING BUDDHAS
The Planet Of Sleeping Buddhas If we want to wake up, we have to follow in the footsteps of those that have awoken. This is the purpose of devotion/inspiration. However, we need the right motivation. This is the purpose of … Continue reading

WE ARE EXPERTS AT NEGATIVITY
We are experts at negativity Or rather…the mind is an expert at negativity. We know this. How do we know this? Conscience! We actually feel uncomfortable when the mind expresses negativity. We know this. Why? Because conscience is none other than … Continue reading
