When Difficulties Arise
When repeated difficulties do arise, our first spiritual approach is to acknowledge what is present, naming, softly saying "sadness, sadness", or "remembering, remembering", or whatever
We Are Already Wisdom
We Are Already Enlightened!
There is nothing whatsoever which needs to or can be done to improve our basic nature, which is already complete openness, natural perfection and absolute spontaneity. This is like the sun itself which just shines.
This intrinsic positive quality is called basic goodness. Every single being from bug to businessman possesses basic goodness in full measure. Basic goodness cannot be destroyed or lost, but it can be seemingly obscured by obsessive thinking.
When our awakened nature is not obscured, our natural positive qualities manifest themselves without any effort on our part. Compassion, insight, wisdom, humor, joy and other positive qualities bring spontaneous benefit to oneself and everyone one has contact with.
It is possible to experience this ever present inherent wakefulness at any time and under any circumstance.
We are already Buddha. Our basic nature is primordial wisdom, radiant emptiness, at peace, and totally free. Why then do we all experience confusion, conflicting emotions and suffering on such a regular basis?

Psalm 19:1-4

The Great Love Of Rumi Meditation
You know you've touched a lot of lives when your 800th birthday is celebrated around the world. Sufi poet Mevlana Jellaluddin--best known as Rumi--is beloved by people of many faiths for his ecstatic, almost infatuated devotion to God. His eloquent longing seems to get at the very heart of love. Born September 30, 1207, the spiritual poet's global popularity has inspired the United Nations agency UNESCO to deem 2007 "The Year of Rumi."
For his birthday we honor the poet with this lush, uplifting meditation set to soothing music. Click below and enjoy.

Our Real Self
Just by being ourselves
we are borne toward a destiny
far beyond anything
we could imagine.
It is enough to know
that the being
I nourish inside me
is the same as the Being
that suffuses every atom
of the cosmos.
When the two
see each other as equals
they will be equal,
because then the same force
that controls the galaxies
will be upholding
my individual existence
