A dhamma talk on how to work with thoughts and emotions in our meditation practice.
“The truth of suffering is to be realized. The truth of the cause of the suffering is to be understood. The true of the end of the suffering is to be experienced. And the way to the end is to be walked by each one. The Buddha´s enlightenment solved his problem, it did not solve ours, except to point out the way. There is no magic formula which will release us from suffering. Each of us has to purify our own mind, for it is the attachment in our minds that keeps us bound. “
- The Experience of Insight – Joseph Goldstein

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.
Whenever you are able, have a "look" inside yourself to see whether you are unconsciously creating conflict between the inner and the outer, between your external circumstances at that moment -- where you are, who you are with, or what you are doing -- and your thoughts and feelings. Can you feel how painful it is to internally stand in opposition to what is?
When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.
~Eckhart Tolle

“All that we have invented, the symbols in the church, the rituals, they are all put there by thought. Thought has invented these things. Invented the savior. Invented the temples of India and the contents of the temples. Thought has invented all these things called sacred. You cannot deny that. So thought in itself is not sacred. And when thought invents God, God is not sacred. So what is sacred? That can only be understood or happen when there is complete freedom, from fear, from sorrow, and when there is this sense of love and compassion with it's own intelligence. Then when the mind is utterly still, that which is sacred can take place.”
~Jiddu Krishnamurti
May all beings be free from fear and hate.
May all beings find joy and happiness within.
Because I care about the happiness and well being of all,
I carefully watch over my mind and strive to put an end to all delusion.
The gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts;
The taste of the Dhamma excels all tastes;
Delight in the Dhamma excels all delights.
The eradication of Craving overcomes all sorrow.

Here Joseph Goldstein guides meditators through the first foundation in the Satipatthana sutta, the Buddha's discourse on the foundations of mindfulness. For more sources of information: http://www.dhammatalks.net/ & http://www.naturalawareness.net/sutras.htm
The Satipatthana Sutta
Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was living in the Kuru country at a town of the Kurus named Kammasadhamma. There he addressed the monks thus, "Monks." "Venerable sir," they replied. The Blessed One said this:
[DIRECT PATH]
"Monks, this is the direct path for the purification of beings, for the surmounting of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of dukkha and discontent, for acquiring the true method, for the realization of Nibbana, namely the four satipatthanas.
[DEFINITION]
"What are the four? Here, monks, in regard to the body a monk abides contemplating the body, diligent, clearly knowing and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world. In regard to feelings he abides contemplating feelings, diligent, clearly knowing, and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world. In regard to the mind he abides contemplating the mind, diligent, clearly knowing and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world. In regard to dhammas he abides contemplating dhammas, diligent, clearly knowing and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world.
[BREATHING]
"And how, monks, does he in regard to the body abide contemplating the body? Here, gone to the forest, or to the foot of a tree, or to an empty place, he sits down; having folded his legs crosswise, sets his body erect, and established mindfulness in front of him, mindful he breathes in, mindful he breathes out.
"Breathing in long he knows 'I breathe in long,' breathing out long, he knows 'I breathe out long.' Breathing in short, he knows 'I breathe in short,' breathing out short, he knows 'I breathe out short.' He trains thus: 'I shall breathe in experiencing the whole body,' he trains thus: I shall breathe out experiencing the whole body,' he trains thus: I shall breathe in calming the bodily formation,' he trains thus: 'I shall breathe out calming the bodily formation.'
Just as a skilled turner or his apprentice, when making a long turn, knows ' I make a long turn,' or when making a short turn knows 'I make a short turn' so too, breathing in long, he knows 'I breathe in long,'
[REFRAIN]
"In this way, in regard to the body he abides contemplating the body internally, or he abides contemplating the body externally, or he abides contemplating the body both internally and externally. Or, he abides contemplating the nature of arising in the body, or he abides contemplating the nature of passing away in the body, or he abides contemplating the nature of both arising and passing away in the body. Or, mindfulness that there is a body is established in him to the extent necessary for bare knowledge and continuous mindfulness. And he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world.
"That is how in regard to the body he abides contemplating the body."
~Translated from: Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization by Bhikku Analayo

According to the commentaries, the repetition of the object of contemplation also indicates emphasis, implying that the object of contemplation should be considered simply as perceived by the senses, and in particular without taking it to be "I" or "mine". In this way the repetition - body in body - underlines the importance of direct experience, as opposed to mere intellectual reflection. One should let the body speak for itself, so to say, disclosing its true nature to the scrutiny of the meditator.
~ Bhikkhu Analayo (from Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization)
Therefore, the Buddha continued, let dedicated followers of the Dhamma strive to be their own island of refuge, with the Dhamma as their island of refuge, not looking for any other refuge. Let them rely entirely on the powerful help of the four foundations of mindfulness (satipatthana). Those who, with keen desire, thus train themselves along the Noble the Eightfold Path will certainly pass beyond all the realms of darkness which abound in samsara.
From the book - Great Disciples of the Buddha: Their Lives, Their Works, Their Legacy
"Go forth, monks, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world... There are beings whose eyes have little dust on them, who will perish if they do not hear the teaching. But if they hear the teaching, they will gain liberation."
~ The Buddha
May the BuddhaDhamma reach all beings.
May all beings liberate themselves from the poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance.
May all beings live in and experience happiness, joy and clarity.

A dharma talk where Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein discusses the nature of impermanence and letting go of the grasping mind.
All the Buddhist traditions converge in one understanding of what liberates the mind. It is summed up very succinctly in one teaching of the Buddha: "Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as 'I' Or 'mine.' Whoever has heard this has heard all the teachings. Whoever practices this has practiced all the teachings. Whoever realizes this has realized all the teachings." Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as "I" or "mine." Non-clinging can be understood on two levels. The first level is non-clinging as a non-sectarian instruction for practice. What to do? Don't cling. There's no Buddhist school that says, "Cling." How to practice in the world? Don't cling. It hardly matters what form we build around that. We can not-cling in a Tibetan house, we can not-cling in a Zen house, we can not-cling in a Theravada house. The essence of One Dharma is the same. But non-clinging is not only an instruction of practice. On the second level, it is also a description of the awakened mind. If we want to know what enlightenment is like, what awakening is like, we can practice the mind of non-clinging, non-fixation, nonattachment to anything at all. It's the mind of open groundlessness.
~From One Dharma by Joseph Goldstein

Ajahn Maha Bua writes:
Once when I went to practice at Wat Do Dhammachedi, the problem of unawareness [ignorance] had me bewildered for quite some time. At that stage the mind was so radiant that I came to marvel at its radiance. Everything of every sort which could make me marvel seemed to have gathered there in the mind, to the point where I began to marvel at myself, “Why is it that my mind is so marvellous?” Looking at the body, I couldn’t see it at all. It was all space-empty. The mind was radiant in full force.
But luckily, as soon as I began to marvel at myself to the point of exclaiming deludedly in the heart without being conscious of it . . . “Why has my mind come so far?”-at that moment, a statement of Dhamma spontaneously arose. This too I hadn’t anticipated. It suddenly appeared, as if someone were speaking in the heart, although there was no one there speaking. It simply appeared as a statement: “If there is a point or a centre of the knower anywhere, that is an agent of birth.” That’s what it said.
This is the critical point: as long as there is any identification with anything, any sense of the “knower,” the one knowing, then we are still bound by the conventional, conditioned mind. Through mindfulness and wisdom we keep deconstructing the sense of self until the pure mind is realised and only the ultimate ease remains.
___________________________________________________
You see, dear reader (speaking frankly, without any intention to offend), you are a ramshackle collection of coincidences held together by a desperate and irrational clinging, there is no center at all, everything depends on everything else, your body depends on the environment, your thoughts depend on whatever junk floats in from the media, your emotions are largely from the reptilian end of your DNA, your intellect is a chemical computer that can't add up a zillionth as fast as a pocket calculator, and even your best side is a superficial piece of social programming that will fall apart just as soon as your spouse leaves with the kids and the money in the joint account, or the economy starts to fail and you get the sack, or you get conscripted into some idiot's war, or they give you the news about your brain tumor. To name this amorphous morass of self-pity, vanity, and despair self is not only the height of hubris, it is also proof (if any were needed) that we are above all a delusional species. (We are in a trance from birth to death.) Prick the balloon, and what do you get? Emptiness.
Take two steps in the divine art of Buddhist meditation, and you will find yourself on a planet you no longer recognize. Those needs and fears you thought were the very bones of your being turn out to be no more than bugs in your software. (Even the certainty of death gets nuanced.)

A confrontation between two SF State students caught on video in the Cesar Chavez Student Center went viral Monday. The argument centered around whether a white person wearing dreadlocks constitutes cultural appropriation.
Golden Gate Xpress got an exclusive interview with Cory Goldstein about his altercation with SF State student, Bonita Tindle.
“Someone within an activist group thought that she could attack me based on my locs and that’s not okay – it’s not even a part of the colored community’s culture,” Goldstein said. “I felt that I didn’t need to explain myself. My hair, my rules, my body.”
The video, titled “SFSU 2016 - Campus employee assaults white student for ‘cultural appropriation’” had more than 260,000 views on YouTube at press time and was trending on Facebook Tuesday afternoon.

A dharma talk where Joseph Goldstein explains the Buddha's teachings on how craving and grasping lead to suffering.
The Buddha's Song of Victory (Enlightenment):
Through many a birth I wandered in samsara,
Seeking, but not finding the builder of this house.
Painful it is to be born again and again.”
“O house-builder! You are seen.
You shall build no house again.
All your rafters are broken.
Your ridgepole is shattered.”
“My mind has attained the unconditioned.
Achieved is the end of craving.”
[Builder: craving]
[House: body (the five aggregates)]
[Rafters: defilements]
[Ridgepole: ignorance]
~ Dhammapada verses 153-154
The Tanha Sutta (Craving):
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an04/an04.199.than.html
___________________________________________________________________
One day I wiped out all notions from my mind. I gave up all desire. I discarded all the words with which I thought and stayed in quietude. I felt a little queer-as if I were being carried into something, or as if I were touching some power unknown to me..... and Ztt! I entered. I lost the boundary of my physical body. I had my skin, of course, but I felt I was standing in the center of the cosmos. I spoke, but my words had lost their meaning. I saw people coming towards me, but all were the same man. All were myself! I had never known this world. I had believed that I was created, but now I must change my opinion: I was never created; I was the cosmos; no individual Mr. Sasaki existed.
~Zen Master Sokei-an Sasaki
___________________________________________________________________
I came back into the hall and was about to go to my seat when the whole outlook changed. A broad expanse opened, and the ground appeared as if all caved in... As I looked around and up and down, the whole universe with its multitudinous sense-objects now appeared quite different; what was loathsome before, together with ignorance and passions, was now seen to be nothing else but the outflow of my own inmost nature which in itself remained bright, true, and transparent.
~ Yuan-chou (quoted by Suzuki in Essays in Zen Buddhism)
___________________________________________________________________
The venerable Musila and the venerable Savittha were once staying at Kosambi in Ghosita Park. Now the venerable Savittha said thus to the venerabe Musila:
Apart, friend Musila, from belief, apart from inclination, hearsay, argument as to method, from reflection on and approval of opinion has the venerable Musila as his very own the knowledge that -- the ceasing of becoming is Nibbana (freedom)?
Apart, friend Savittha, from belief and the rest, this I know, this I see: -- The ceasing of becoming in Nibbana.
Well then, the venerable Musila is Arahant, for whom the intoxicants are perished.
When this was said the venerable Musila became silent.
The truth of cessation (Nibbana) has the characteristic of peace. Its function is not to die. It is manifested as the signless.
("signless" being secluded from the sign of the five aggregates, it is taken as having no graspable entity - Visuddhimagga Atthakataha)
~from the book Buddhism, edited by Richard A. Gard
___________________________________________________________________
When perception is stronger than mindfulness, we recognize various appearances and create concepts such as “body,” “cat”, “house,” or “person”… On some clear night, go outside, look up at the sky, and see if you can find the Big Dipper. For most people that is a familiar constellation, easy to pick out from all the other stars. But is there really a Big Dipper up there in the sky? There is no Big Dipper up there. “Big Dipper” is a concept. Humans looked, saw a certain pattern, and then created a concept in our collective mind to describe it. That concept is useful because it helps us recognize the constellation. But it also has another, less useful effect. By creating the concept “Big Dipper” we separate out those stars from all the rest, and then, if we become attached to the idea of that separation, we lose the sense of the night sky's wholeness, its oneness. Does the separation actually exist in the sky? No. We created it through the use of a concept. Does anything change in the sky when we understand that there is no Big Dipper? No.

Basic meditation instructions with Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein.
The cycle of life is a struggle.
And through the vortex of birth and death,
I searched for the creator of this world.
I never found him.
Now I have found you,
The creator.
Your structure is dismantled.
The mind
Has stopped creating.
The delusion
Is destroyed.
~ (Dhammapada verses 153 - 154)
Through the practice of very careful momentary attention, we see and connect very directly with the nature of thoughts and emotions, not getting so lost in the story. What is the nature of anger? What is the quality of happiness? What is the quality of compassion? The momentum of mindfulness begins to build. This is our first clear glimpse of the nature of the mind itself. We see that all we are is a succession of mind moments - seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, thinking, feeling. At this stage, we have a very direct understanding of what the Buddha called the Three Characteristics. We have a visceral experience of the truth of anicca, impermanence: everything is changing constantly. And out of this intimate understanding of the momentariness of phenomena, we begin to comprehend more clearly what the Buddha meant by dukkha, suffering—the unsatisfactory nature of things. When we see that even pleasant things are changing—and changing rapidly—it becomes obvious that they are incapable of satisfying us. Not because they are inherently bad but because they don't last. This insight leads to an understanding of the characteristic that is most difficult to see—anatta, or selflessness. There is no one behind this process to whom it is happening; what we call "self" is the process of change.
~Joseph Goldstein

At that stage the mind was so radiant that I came to marvel at its radiance. Everything of every sort which could make me marvel seemed to have gathered there in the mind, to the point where I began to marvel at myself, “Why is it that my mind is so marvellous?” Looking at the body, I couldn’t see it at all. It was all space-empty. The mind was radiant in full force. But luckily, as soon as I began to marvel at myself to the point of exclaiming deludedly in the heart without being conscious of it . . . “Why has my mind come so far?”-at that moment, a statement of Dhamma spontaneously arose. This too I hadn’t anticipated. It suddenly appeared, as if someone were speaking in the heart, although there was no one there speaking. It simply appeared as a statement: “If there is a point or a centre of the knower anywhere, that is an agent of birth.” That’s what it said. This is the critical point: as long as there is any identification with anything, any sense of the “knower,” the one knowing, then we are still bound by the conventional, conditioned mind. Through mindfulness and wisdom we keep deconstructing the sense of self until the pure mind is realised and only the ultimate ease remains. ___________________________________________________ You see, dear reader (speaking frankly, without any intention to offend), you are a ramshackle collection of coincidences held together by a desperate and irrational clinging, there is no center at all, everything depends on everything else, your body depends on the environment, your thoughts depend on whatever junk floats in from the media, your emotions are largely from the reptilian end of your DNA, your intellect is a chemical computer that can't add up a zillionth as fast as a pocket calculator, and even your best side is a superficial piece of social programming that will fall apart just as soon as your spouse leaves with the kids and the money in the joint account, or the economy starts to fail and you get the sack, or you get conscripted into some idiot's war, or they give you the news about your brain tumor. To name this amorphous morass of self-pity, vanity, and despair self is not only the height of hubris, it is also proof (if any were needed) that we are above all a delusional species. (We are in a trance from birth to death.) Prick the balloon, and what do you get? Emptiness. Take two steps in the divine art of Buddhist meditation, and you will find yourself on a planet you no longer recognize. Those needs and fears you thought were the very bones of your being turn out to be no more than bugs in your software. (Even the certainty of death gets nuanced.) ~From the novel, Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdett May you have happiness and the causes of happiness. May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering. The gift of the Dharma excels all gifts; The taste of the Dharma excels all tastes; Delight in the Dharma excels all delights. The eradication of Craving overcomes all sorrow. For more dharma talks and teachings, please visit: http://dharmaseed.org/ -

Updated version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4hEL3AoKCM A confrontation between two SF State students caught on video in the Cesar Chavez Student Center went viral Monday. The argument centered around whether a white person wearing dreadlocks constitutes cultural appropriation. Golden Gate Xpress got an exclusive interview with Cory Goldstein about his altercation with SF State student, Bonita Tindle. “Someone within an activist group thought that she could attack me based on my locs and that’s not okay – it’s not even a part of the colored community’s culture,” Goldstein said. “I felt that I didn’t need to explain myself. My hair, my rules, my body.” The video, titled “SFSU 2016 - Campus employee assaults white student for ‘cultural appropriation’” had more than 260,000 views on YouTube at press time and was trending on Facebook Tuesday afternoon.

Achieved Is The End Of Craving - Joseph GoldsteinAchieved Is The End Of Craving - Joseph Goldstein
A dharma talk where Joseph Goldstein explains the Buddha's teachings on how craving and grasping lead to suffering. The Buddha's Song of Victory (Enlightenment): Through many a birth I wandered in samsara, Seeking, but not finding the builder of this house. Painful it is to be born again and again.” “O house-builder! You are seen. You shall build no house again. All your rafters are broken. Your ridgepole is shattered.” “My mind has attained the unconditioned. Achieved is the end of craving.” [Builder: craving] [House: body (the five aggregates)] [Rafters: defilements] [Ridgepole: ignorance] ~ Dhammapada verses 153-154 The Tanha Sutta (Craving): http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an04/an04.199.than.html ___________________________________________________________________ One day I wiped out all notions from my mind. I gave up all desire. I discarded all the words with which I thought and stayed in quietude. I felt a little queer-as if I were being carried into something, or as if I were touching some power unknown to me..... and Ztt! I entered. I lost the boundary of my physical body. I had my skin, of course, but I felt I was standing in the center of the cosmos. I spoke, but my words had lost their meaning. I saw people coming towards me, but all were the same man. All were myself! I had never known this world. I had believed that I was created, but now I must change my opinion: I was never created; I was the cosmos; no individual Mr. Sasaki existed. ~Zen Master Sokei-an Sasaki ___________________________________________________________________ I came back into the hall and was about to go to my seat when the whole outlook changed. A broad expanse opened, and the ground appeared as if all caved in... As I looked around and up and down, the whole universe with its multitudinous sense-objects now appeared quite different; what was loathsome before, together with ignorance and passions, was now seen to be nothing else but the outflow of my own inmost nature which in itself remained bright, true, and transparent. ~ Yuan-chou (quoted by Suzuki in Essays in Zen Buddhism) ___________________________________________________________________ The venerable Musila and the venerable Savittha were once staying at Kosambi in Ghosita Park. Now the venerable Savittha said thus to the venerabe Musila: Apart, friend Musila, from belief, apart from inclination, hearsay, argument as to method, from reflection on and approval of opinion has the venerable Musila as his very own the knowledge that -- the ceasing of becoming is Nibbana (freedom)? Apart, friend Savittha, from belief and the rest, this I know, this I see: -- The ceasing of becoming in Nibbana. Well then, the venerable Musila is Arahant, for whom the intoxicants are perished. When this was said the venerable Musila became silent. The truth of cessation (Nibbana) has the characteristic of peace. Its function is not to die. It is manifested as the signless. ("signless" being secluded from the sign of the five aggregates, it is taken as having no graspable entity - Visuddhimagga Atthakataha) ~from the book Buddhism, edited by Richard A. Gard ___________________________________________________________________ When perception is stronger than mindfulness, we recognize various appearances and create concepts such as “body,” “cat”, “house,” or “person”… On some clear night, go outside, look up at the sky, and see if you can find the Big Dipper. For most people that is a familiar constellation, easy to pick out from all the other stars. But is there really a Big Dipper up there in the sky? There is no Big Dipper up there. “Big Dipper” is a concept. Humans looked, saw a certain pattern, and then created a concept in our collective mind to describe it. That concept is useful because it helps us recognize the constellation. But it also has another, less useful effect. By creating the concept “Big Dipper” we separate out those stars from all the rest, and then, if we become attached to the idea of that separation, we lose the sense of the night sky's wholeness, its oneness. Does the separation actually exist in the sky? No. We created it through the use of a concept. Does anything change in the sky when we understand that there is no Big Dipper? No. ~Joseph Goldstein ___________________________________________________________________ The entire heavenly realm is within us, but to find it we have to relate to what's outside. ~Joseph Campbell ___________________________________________________________________ May all beings be well, happy and peaceful. The gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts; The taste of the Dhamma excels all tastes; Delight in the Dhamma excels all delights. The eradication of Craving overcomes all sorrow. -

Guided Meditation Instructions with Joseph GoldsteinGuided Meditation Instructions with Joseph Goldstein
Basic meditation instructions with Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein. The cycle of life is a struggle. And through the vortex of birth and death, I searched for the creator of this world. I never found him. Now I have found you, The creator. Your structure is dismantled. The mind Has stopped creating. The delusion Is destroyed. ~ (Dhammapada verses 153 - 154) Through the practice of very careful momentary attention, we see and connect very directly with the nature of thoughts and emotions, not getting so lost in the story. What is the nature of anger? What is the quality of happiness? What is the quality of compassion? The momentum of mindfulness begins to build. This is our first clear glimpse of the nature of the mind itself. We see that all we are is a succession of mind moments - seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, thinking, feeling. At this stage, we have a very direct understanding of what the Buddha called the Three Characteristics. We have a visceral experience of the truth of anicca, impermanence: everything is changing constantly. And out of this intimate understanding of the momentariness of phenomena, we begin to comprehend more clearly what the Buddha meant by dukkha, suffering—the unsatisfactory nature of things. When we see that even pleasant things are changing—and changing rapidly—it becomes obvious that they are incapable of satisfying us. Not because they are inherently bad but because they don't last. This insight leads to an understanding of the characteristic that is most difficult to see—anatta, or selflessness. There is no one behind this process to whom it is happening; what we call "self" is the process of change. ~Joseph Goldstein You see, dear reader (speaking frankly, without any intention to offend), you are a ramshackle collection of coincidences held together by a desperate and irrational clinging, there is no center at all, everything depends on everything else, your body depends on the environment, your thoughts depend on whatever junk floats in from the media, your emotions are largely from the reptilian end of your DNA, your intellect is a chemical computer that can't add up a zillionth as fast as a pocket calculator, and even your best side is a superficial piece of social programming that will fall apart just as soon as your spouse leaves with the kids and the money in the joint account, or the economy starts to fail and you get the sack, or you get conscripted into some idiot's war, or they give you the news about your brain tumor.

Quotes:
[first lines]::Al Bernstein: Welcome back, everybody, to the 1997 World Series of Poker, where Stu "The Kid" Ungar is attempting to make one of the greatest comebacks in poker history, by winning the no-limit Texas Hold'em Championship a record third time.::Andrew N.S. Glazer: And Al, the amazing thing about this is, that Stuey would be achieving that feat after sixteen years of personal struggle, where victories were really few and far between.::Al Bernstein: And standing between Stuey and history is John Stremp, a local casino executive who's shown remarkable fortitude, actually, in making it to this point. And here it is, Stu is raising enough to put Stremp all in.::Andrew N.S. Glazer: This could be it, Al. If Stremp wins, it'll change the tide of the tournament. If Stuey wins, he's got the championship again after sixteen long years.Vincent: Eat your scone.::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: Looks like a muffin.::Vincent: It's a scone. It's from Europe. You see? You're... you're boorish.::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: Boris?::Vincent: Did I say "Boris"? I said boorish. Uncouth. A vulgarian. You... [Stuey stares blankly] Never mind.
Gus: So, uh... Stu, you're Max's son?::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yes, sir.::Gus: He ran a very nice club. My - my condolences.::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: Thank you.::Gus: But it, uh... It seems he liked the whores. Do you... like whores , too?::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: No sir.::Gus: Good. Because they spread disease. I won't have that.
Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: [narrating] The math guys call it "positive expectation". It's how all these big casinos get built. You throw down your cash hour after hour, and the casinos edge on the game just whittles it away. Sometimes it's just a tiny edge, but it's always there. They know if you win, it's just temporary, so they buy you your and your dinner, and they smile and wait for you to lay your money down again until eventually you lose. And that's what we did, too. Just waited for ya. In the sixties, guys who wore cowboy hats and had cutesy names played poker. By 1980, some of them were still around, but they weren't the best no more. The new pros were math teachers, bankers, lawyers, scientists. Guys who stopped in Vegas for a vacation and figured out they could make more money doing this than any shitty 9-5er. Some of them made money. Some went broke and ran back to real life. Our favorite thing was to beat the shit outta some young hotshot. Some jerk-off who dominated his home poker game and thought he could make a livin' playin' it. Just destroy him. And the great thing for us was that Texas Hold'em was such an easy game. You get two private cards, five others are dealt up. Whoever makes the best five-card hand wins. Piece of cake. And more assholes showed up every day to prove they had it knocked. It was a fuckin' feast. 'Cause these donkeys never figured out that the game wasn't about cards. It was about people.
Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: [narrating] In 1949, Johnny Moss and Nick the Greek played heads-up poker at the front door of Binion's Horseshoe for five months straight. Five fuckin' months! People stood six-deep to watch. In 1970, Binion's had the first Series. Moss won all five games. By '80, there were over three hundred players, twenty events, and three million in prize money. Not that it mattered. You could make more money in side games. It was the fuckin' World Series of Poker, and either you had the chops to win a bracelet, or you didn't.
Angela: You didn't pay the electric bill again, didn't you?::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: Shit!::Angela: Yeah. shit. And now they have to come back over and turn it on, again. And I have to call Susan and make something up. It's embarassing, Stuey.::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: Can't we just pay 'em for the whole year or something?::Angela: No! That's not the way it works! We could put it on a credit card, but we don't have a credit card.::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: They're a rip-off.::Angela: Oh, yeah. Yeah, and... and the banks steal your money, and the government steals your money, and everybody steals your money. But, you can lose twenty or fifty or a hundred grand bettin' football and it's okay, right, 'cause you got action, right? And that's what's really important, isn't it, Stuey?::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: You know, sometimes you can be a real cunt, Angie.
Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: [to a poker dealer] Why don't you just fuckin' kiss me, okay, because you've been fuckin' me all night, anyway!
Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: [narrating] Some people said I was crazy to take a dominated hand like Ace-four against Ace-eight. But, wherever you are, you gotta consider all your outs. See, sometimes they save you. But, sometimes you really ain't got no outs at all.
Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: See, life is a people game, too. Only... the emphasis is just a little bit different.
[last lines]::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: I was always leaving here with you, wasn't I?::The Stranger: Yeah. You did good anyway.::Stu 'Stuey' Ungar: Really? Thanks. We could play a couple of hands for, you know...::The Stranger: Never much good at cards.

Joseph Goldstein - Working with Thought and Emotion
A dhamma talk on how to work with thoughts and emotions in our meditation practice. “The truth of suffering is to be realized. The truth of the cause of the suffering is to be understood. The true of the end of the suffering is to be experienced. And the way to the end is to be walked by each one. The Buddha´s enlightenment solved his problem, it did not solve ours, except to point out the way. There is no magic formula which will release us from suffering. Each of us has to purify our own mind, for it is the attachment in our minds that keeps us bound. “ - The Experience of Insight – Joseph Goldstein ___________________________________________________ Go beyond good and bad by refraining from mentally labeling anything as good or bad.

Joseph Goldstein - Liberation Through Non-Clinging
A dharma talk where Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein discusses the nature of impermanence and letting go of the grasping mind. All the Buddhist traditions converge in one understanding of what liberates the mind. It is summed up very succinctly in one teaching of the Buddha: "Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as 'I' Or 'mine.' Whoever has heard this has heard all the teachings. Whoever practices this has practiced all the teachings. Whoever realizes this has realized all the teachings." Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as "I" or "mine." Non-clinging can be understood on two levels. The first level is non-clinging as a non-sectarian instruction for practice. What to do? Don't cling. There's no Buddhist school that says, "Cling." How to practice in the world? Don't cling. It hardl... -

Achieved Is The End Of Craving - Joseph Goldstein
A dharma talk where Joseph Goldstein explains the Buddha's teachings on how craving and grasping lead to suffering. The Buddha's Song of Victory (Enlightenment): Through many a birth I wandered in samsara, Seeking, but not finding the builder of this house. Painful it is to be born again and again.” “O house-builder! You are seen. You shall build no house again. All your rafters are broken. Your ridgepole is shattered.” “My mind has attained the unconditioned. Achieved is the end of craving.” [Builder: craving] [House: body (the five aggregates)] [Rafters: defilements] [Ridgepole: ignorance] ~ Dhammapada verses 153-154 The Tanha Sutta (Craving): http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an04/an04.199.than.html _____________________________________________________________... -
Guided Meditation Instructions with Joseph Goldstein
Basic meditation instructions with Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein. The cycle of life is a struggle. And through the vortex of birth and death, I searched for the creator of this world. I never found him. Now I have found you, The creator. Your structure is dismantled. The mind Has stopped creating. The delusion Is destroyed. ~ (Dhammapada verses 153 - 154) Through the practice of very careful momentary attention, we see and connect very directly with the nature of thoughts and emotions, not getting so lost in the story. What is the nature of anger? What is the quality of happiness? What is the quality of compassion? The momentum of mindfulness begins to build. This is our first clear glimpse of the nature of the mind itself. We see that all we are is a succession of mind moments - ...

A dhamma talk on how to work with thoughts and emotions in our meditation practice.
“The truth of suffering is to be realized. The truth of the cause of the suffering is to be understood. The true of the end of the suffering is to be experienced. And the way to the end is to be walked by each one. The Buddha´s enlightenment solved his problem, it did not solve ours, except to point out the way. There is no magic formula which will release us from suffering. Each of us has to purify our own mind, for it is the attachment in our minds that keeps us bound. “
- The Experience of Insight – Joseph Goldstein

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.
Whenever you are able, have a "look" inside yourself to see whether you are unconsciously creating conflict between the inner and the outer, between your external circumstances at that moment -- where you are, who you are with, or what you are doing -- and your thoughts and feelings. Can you feel how painful it is to internally stand in opposition to what is?
When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.
~Eckhart Tolle

The Satipatthana Sutta
Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was living in the Kuru country at a town of the Kurus named Kammasadhamma. There he addressed the monks thus, "Monks." "Venerable sir," they replied. The Blessed One said this:
[DIRECT PATH]
"Monks, this is the direct path for the purification of beings, for the surmounting of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of dukkha and discontent, for acquiring the true method, for the realization of Nibbana, namely the four satipatthanas.
[DEFINITION]
"What are the four? Here, monks, in regard to the body a monk abides contemplating the body, diligent, clearly knowing and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world. In regard to feelings he abides contemplating feelings, diligent, clearly knowing, and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world. In regard to the mind he abides contemplating the mind, diligent, clearly knowing and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world. In regard to dhammas he abides contemplating dhammas, diligent, clearly knowing and mindful, free from desires and discontent in regard to the world.
[BREATHING]
"And how, monks, does he in regard to the body abide contemplating the body? Here, gone to the forest, or to the foot of a tree, or to an empty place, he sits down; having folded his legs crosswise, sets his body erect, and established mindfulness in front of him, mindful he breathes in, mindful he breathes out.
"Breathing in long he knows 'I breathe in long,' breathing out long, he knows 'I breathe out long.' Breathing in short, he knows 'I breathe in short,' breathing out short, he knows 'I breathe out short.' He trains thus: 'I shall breathe in experiencing the whole body,' he trains thus: I shall breathe out experiencing the whole body,' he trains thus: I shall breathe in calming the bodily formation,' he trains thus: 'I shall breathe out calming the bodily formation.'
Just as a skilled turner or his apprentice, when making a long turn, knows ' I make a long turn,' or when making a short turn knows 'I make a short turn' so too, breathing in long, he knows 'I breathe in long,'
[REFRAIN]
"In this way, in regard to the body he abides contemplating the body internally, or he abides contemplating the body externally, or he abides contemplating the body both internally and externally. Or, he abides contemplating the nature of arising in the body, or he abides contemplating the nature of passing away in the body, or he abides contemplating the nature of both arising and passing away in the body. Or, mindfulness that there is a body is established in him to the extent necessary for bare knowledge and continuous mindfulness. And he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world.
"That is how in regard to the body he abides contemplating the body."
~Translated from: Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization by Bhikku Analayo

According to the commentaries, the repetition of the object of contemplation also indicates emphasis, implying that the object of contemplation should be considered simply as perceived by the senses, and in particular without taking it to be "I" or "mine". In this way the repetition - body in body - underlines the importance of direct experience, as opposed to mere intellectual reflection. One should let the body speak for itself, so to say, disclosing its true nature to the scrutiny of the meditator.
~ Bhikkhu Analayo (from Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization)
Therefore, the Buddha continued, let dedicated followers of the Dhamma strive to be their own island of refuge, with the Dhamma as their island of refuge, not looking for any other refuge. Let them rely entirely on the powerful help of the four foundations of mindfulness (satipatthana). Those who, with keen desire, thus train themselves along the Noble the Eightfold Path will certainly pass beyond all the realms of darkness which abound in samsara.
From the book - Great Disciples of the Buddha: Their Lives, Their Works, Their Legacy
"Go forth, monks, for the happiness of the many, out of compassion for the world... There are beings whose eyes have little dust on them, who will perish if they do not hear the teaching. But if they hear the teaching, they will gain liberation."
~ The Buddha
May the BuddhaDhamma reach all beings.
May all beings liberate themselves from the poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance.
May all beings live in and experience happiness, joy and clarity.

A dharma talk where Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein discusses the nature of impermanence and letting go of the grasping mind.
All the Buddhist traditions converge in one understanding of what liberates the mind. It is summed up very succinctly in one teaching of the Buddha: "Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as 'I' Or 'mine.' Whoever has heard this has heard all the teachings. Whoever practices this has practiced all the teachings. Whoever realizes this has realized all the teachings." Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as "I" or "mine." Non-clinging can be understood on two levels. The first level is non-clinging as a non-sectarian instruction for practice. What to do? Don't cling. There's no Buddhist school that says, "Cling." How to practice in the world? Don't cling. It hardly matters what form we build around that. We can not-cling in a Tibetan house, we can not-cling in a Zen house, we can not-cling in a Theravada house. The essence of One Dharma is the same. But non-clinging is not only an instruction of practice. On the second level, it is also a description of the awakened mind. If we want to know what enlightenment is like, what awakening is like, we can practice the mind of non-clinging, non-fixation, nonattachment to anything at all. It's the mind of open groundlessness.

Once when I went to practice at Wat Do Dhammachedi, the problem of unawareness [ignorance] had me bewildered for quite some time. At that stage the mind was so radiant that I came to marvel at its radiance. Everything of every sort which could make me marvel seemed to have gathered there in the mind, to the point where I began to marvel at myself, “Why is it that my mind is so marvellous?” Looking at the body, I couldn’t see it at all. It was all space-empty. The mind was radiant in full force.
But luckily, as soon as I began to marvel at myself to the point of exclaiming deludedly in the heart without being conscious of it . . . “Why has my mind come so far?”-at that moment, a statement of Dhamma spontaneously arose. This too I hadn’t anticipated. It suddenly appeared, as if someone were speaking in the heart, although there was no one there speaking. It simply appeared as a statement: “If there is a point or a centre of the knower anywhere, that is an agent of birth.” That’s what it said.
This is the critical point: as long as there is any identification with anything, any sense of the “knower,” the one knowing, then we are still bound by the conventional, conditioned mind. Through mindfulness and wisdom we keep deconstructing the sense of self until the pure mind is realised and only the ultimate ease remains.

A confrontation between two SF State students caught on video in the Cesar Chavez Student Center went viral Monday. The argument centered around whether a white person wearing dreadlocks constitutes cultural appropriation.
Golden Gate Xpress got an exclusive interview with Cory Goldstein about his altercation with SF State student, Bonita Tindle.
“Someone within an activist group thought that she could attack me based on my locs and that’s not okay – it’s not even a part of the colored community’s culture,” Goldstein said. “I felt that I didn’t need to explain myself. My hair, my rules, my body.”
The video, titled “SFSU 2016 - Campus employee assaults white student for ‘cultural appropriation’” had more than 260,000 views on YouTube at press time and was trending on Facebook Tuesday afternoon.

A confrontation between two SF State students caught on video in the Cesar Chavez Student Center went viral Monday. The argument centered around whether a white person wearing dreadlocks constitutes cultural appropriation.
Golden Gate Xpress got an exclusive interview with Cory Goldstein about his altercation with SF State student, Bonita Tindle.
“Someone within an activist group thought that she could attack me based on my locs and that’s not okay – it’s not even a part of the colored community’s culture,” Goldstein said. “I felt that I didn’t need to explain myself. My hair, my rules, my body.”
The video, titled “SFSU 2016 - Campus employee assaults white student for ‘cultural appropriation’” had more than 260,000 views on YouTube at press time and was trending on Facebook Tuesday afternoon.

A dharma talk where Joseph Goldstein explains the Buddha's teachings on how craving and grasping lead to suffering.
The Buddha's Song of Victory (Enlightenment):
Through many a birth I wandered in samsara,
Seeking, but not finding the builder of this house.
Painful it is to be born again and again.”
“O house-builder! You are seen.
You shall build no house again.
All your rafters are broken.
Your ridgepole is shattered.”
“My mind has attained the unconditioned.
Achieved is the end of craving.”
[Builder: craving]
[House: body (the five aggregates)]
[Rafters: defilements]
[Ridgepole: ignorance]
~ Dhammapada verses 153-154
The Tanha Sutta (Craving):
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/an/an04/an04.199.than.html
___________________________________________________________________
One day I wiped out all notions from my mind. I gave up all desire. I discarded all the words with which I thought and stayed in quietude. I felt a little queer-as if I were being carried into something, or as if I were touching some power unknown to me..... and Ztt! I entered. I lost the boundary of my physical body. I had my skin, of course, but I felt I was standing in the center of the cosmos. I spoke, but my words had lost their meaning. I saw people coming towards me, but all were the same man. All were myself! I had never known this world. I had believed that I was created, but now I must change my opinion: I was never created; I was the cosmos; no individual Mr. Sasaki existed.
~Zen Master Sokei-an Sasaki
___________________________________________________________________
I came back into the hall and was about to go to my seat when the whole outlook changed. A broad expanse opened, and the ground appeared as if all caved in... As I looked around and up and down, the whole universe with its multitudinous sense-objects now appeared quite different; what was loathsome before, together with ignorance and passions, was now seen to be nothing else but the outflow of my own inmost nature which in itself remained bright, true, and transparent.
~ Yuan-chou (quoted by Suzuki in Essays in Zen Buddhism)
___________________________________________________________________
The venerable Musila and the venerable Savittha were once staying at Kosambi in Ghosita Park. Now the venerable Savittha said thus to the venerabe Musila:
Apart, friend Musila, from belief, apart from inclination, hearsay, argument as to method, from reflection on and approval of opinion has the venerable Musila as his very own the knowledge that -- the ceasing of becoming is Nibbana (freedom)?
Apart, friend Savittha, from belief and the rest, this I know, this I see: -- The ceasing of becoming in Nibbana.
Well then, the venerable Musila is Arahant, for whom the intoxicants are perished.
When this was said the venerable Musila became silent.
The truth of cessation (Nibbana) has the characteristic of peace. Its function is not to die. It is manifested as the signless.
("signless" being secluded from the sign of the five aggregates, it is taken as having no graspable entity - Visuddhimagga Atthakataha)
~from the book Buddhism, edited by Richard A. Gard

When perception is stronger than mindfulness, we recognize various appearances and create concepts such as “body,” “cat”, “house,” or “person”… On some clear night, go outside, look up at the sky, and see if you can find the Big Dipper. For most people that is a familiar constellation, easy to pick out from all the other stars. But is there really a Big Dipper up there in the sky? There is no Big Dipper up there. “Big Dipper” is a concept. Humans looked, saw a certain pattern, and then created a concept in our collective mind to describe it. That concept is useful because it helps us recognize the constellation. But it also has another, less useful effect. By creating the concept “Big Dipper” we separate out those stars from all the rest, and then, if we become attached to the idea of that separation, we lose the sense of the night sky's wholeness, its oneness. Does the separation actually exist in the sky? No. We created it through the use of a concept. Does anything change in the sky when we understand that there is no Big Dipper? No.

Basic meditation instructions with Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein.
The cycle of life is a struggle.
And through the vortex of birth and death,
I searched for the creator of this world.
I never found him.
Now I have found you,
The creator.
Your structure is dismantled.
The mind
Has stopped creating.
The delusion
Is destroyed.
~ (Dhammapada verses 153 - 154)
Through the practice of very careful momentary attention, we see and connect very directly with the nature of thoughts and emotions, not getting so lost in the story. What is the nature of anger? What is the quality of happiness? What is the quality of compassion? The momentum of mindfulness begins to build. This is our first clear glimpse of the nature of the mind itself. We see that all we are is a succession of mind moments - seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, thinking, feeling. At this stage, we have a very direct understanding of what the Buddha called the Three Characteristics. We have a visceral experience of the truth of anicca, impermanence: everything is changing constantly. And out of this intimate understanding of the momentariness of phenomena, we begin to comprehend more clearly what the Buddha meant by dukkha, suffering—the unsatisfactory nature of things. When we see that even pleasant things are changing—and changing rapidly—it becomes obvious that they are incapable of satisfying us. Not because they are inherently bad but because they don't last. This insight leads to an understanding of the characteristic that is most difficult to see—anatta, or selflessness. There is no one behind this process to whom it is happening; what we call "self" is the process of change.
~Joseph Goldstein
You see, dear reader (speaking frankly, without any intention to offend), you are a ramshackle collection of coincidences held together by a desperate and irrational clinging, there is no center at all, everything depends on everything else, your body depends on the environment, your thoughts depend on whatever junk floats in from the media, your emotions are largely from the reptilian end of your DNA, your intellect is a chemical computer that can't add up a zillionth as fast as a pocket calculator, and even your best side is a superficial piece of social programming that will fall apart just as soon as your spouse leaves with the kids and the money in the joint account, or the economy starts to fail and you get the sack, or you get conscripted into some idiot's war, or they give you the news about your brain tumor. To name this amorphous morass of self-pity, vanity, and despair self is not only the height of hubris, it is also proof (if any were needed) that we are above all a delusional species. (We are in a trance from birth to death.) Prick the balloon, and what do you get? Emptiness.
Take two steps in the divine art of Buddhist meditation, and you will find yourself on a planet you no longer recognize. Those needs and fears you thought were the very bones of your being turn out to be no more than bugs in your software. (Even the certainty of death gets nuanced.)
~From the novel, Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdett
May all beings learn to free themselves from the poisons of hate, greed and delusion.

Guided Meditation on Anatta (No-Self) with Joseph Goldstein
A guided three part meditation session focusing on anatta or no-self with Buddhist teacher Joseph Goldstein. All the Buddhist traditions converge in one understanding of what liberates the mind. It is summed up very succinctly in one teaching of the Buddha: "Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as 'I' Or 'mine.' Whoever has heard this has heard all the teachings. Whoever practices this has practiced all the teachings. Whoever realizes this has realized all the teachings." Nothing whatsoever is to be clung to as "I" or "mine." Non-clinging can be understood on two levels. The first level is non-clinging as a non-sectarian instruction for practice. What to do? Don't cling. There's no Buddhist school that says, "Cling."

How to practice in the world? Don't cling. It hardly matters what form we build around that. We can not-cling in a Tibetan house, we can not-cling in a Zen house, we can not-cling in a Theravada house. The essence of One Dharma is the same. But non-clinging is not only an instruction of practice. On the second level, it is also a description of the awakened mind. If we want to know what enlightenment is like, what awakening is like, we can practice the mind of non-clinging, non-fixation, nonattachment to anything at all. It's the mind of open groundlessness.
~From One Dharma by Joseph Goldstein
Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture. To acquire happiness you don't have to do anything, because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why? Because we have it already. How can you acquire what you already have? Then why don't you experience it? Because you've got to drop something. You've got to drop illusions. You don't have to add anything in order to be happy; you've got to drop something. Life is easy, life is delightful. It's only hard on your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, your cravings. Do you know where these things come from? From having identified with all kinds of labels!
~ Anthony de Mello
We say, "That is a rose", rapidly look at it and go on. By giving it a name, we think we have understood it; we have classified it and think that thereby we have understood the whole content and beauty of that flower. By giving a name to something, we have merely put it into a category and we think we have understood it; we don't look at it more closely. If we do not give it a name, however, we are forced to look at it. That is we approach the flower or whatever it is with a newness, with a new quality of examination; we look at it as though we had never looked at it before. Naming is a very convenient way of disposing of things and of people - by saying that they are Germans, Japanese, Americans, Hindus, you can give them a label and destroy the label. If you do not give a label to people you are forced to look at them and then it is much more difficult to kill somebody.
~Jiddu Krishnamurti
Indeed we live very happily, not hating anyone among those who hate; among men who hate we live without hating anyone.
Indeed we live very happily, in good health among the ailing; among men who are ailing we live in good health.
Indeed we live very happily, not striving (for sensual pleasures) among these who strive (for them); among those who strive (for them) we live without striving.
~Dhammapada verses 197-199
Throughout the world, beings suffer.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be free of suffering.
Free from attachment and sentimentality,
May my mind be a refuge for all beings,
May all beings develop their minds in a wholesome way.
The gift of the Dharma excels all gifts;
The taste of the Dharma excels all tastes;
Delight in the Dharma excels all delights.
The eradication of Craving overcomes all sorrow.

By giving a name to something, we have merely put it into a category and we think we have understood it; we don't look at it more closely. If we do not give it a name, however, we are forced to look at it. That is we approach the flower or whatever it is with a newness, with a new quality of examination; we look at it as though we had never looked at it before. Naming is a very convenient way of disposing of things and of people - by saying that they are Germans, Japanese, Americans, Hindus, you can give them a label and destroy the label. If you do not give a label to people you are forced to look at them and then it is much more difficult to kill somebody.
~Jiddu Krishnamurti
Indeed we live very happily, not hating anyone among those who hate; among men who hate we live without hating anyone.
Indeed we live very happily, in good health among the ailing; among men who are ailing we live in good health.
Indeed we live very happily, not striving (for sensual pleasures) among these who strive (for them); among those who strive (for them) we live without striving.
~Dhammapada verses 197-199
Throughout the world, beings suffer.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be free of suffering.
Free from attachment and sentimentality,
May my mind be a refuge for all beings,
May all beings develop their minds in a wholesome way.
The gift of the Dharma excels all gifts;
The taste of the Dharma excels all tastes;
Delight in the Dharma excels all delights.
The eradication of Craving overcomes all sorrow.
