Blogmandu
If you don’t read Blogmandu , you are missing out on the best of the Buddhist-istic Blogs on the web.
I just finished reading an excellent post which was part of this week’s Blogmandu round up on a weblog titled Doe-Do on the subject of emotional detachment and compassion. In this post, Mike Doe writes…
I want people to be realistic with emotions. The best thing that you can do in general is learn how to accept everything that you feel without discrimination. This will allow your heart to be open and compassionate. This is also hard practice.
One of the initial mistakes I made coming into Buddhism was that Buddhists are so serene and peace-loving that they never get angry. Storing away anger or envy or resentment doesn’t allow one to work with the richness of that bullshit.. the truly earthiness of what it is to be human. In working with why we feel the emotions we feel and then seeing that these emotions are impermenant is the challenge.
