SUMMARY:Body\, Heart\, Mind Awake — taking the backward step -  Glasgow Buddhist Centre
DESCRIPTION:Body\, heart and mind are essential facets of our being. \nMind is usually taken to mean all kinds of mental activity\, but what we’re interested in here is ‘mind itself’ – the awake\, aware quality of mind. \nAwakeness is here even when we feel sleepy and dull. How do we know that we’re sleepy and dull? We are awake to it. We’re even awake to our dreams\, despite the body being asleep. \nThis quality of wakefulness\, knowingness or clarity is intrinsic to all of our experience and yet it is mysteriously ungraspable and unfindable. To know it\, we need to discover what Zen Master Dogen was pointing to when he spoke of ‘taking the backward step’. \nThis is essentially a step ‘back’\, from identification with our everyday mind of thoughts and imaginings\, into the immediacy and presence of our body senses\, just as they are. \nOur body is not what we think it is – not at all! When we take the backward step\, body is not the rather solid\, rather weighty object we imagine it is. It’s an unbounded\, living\, vibrating cloud of sensate energy. \nThis also opens the heart to rest in its own nature – limitless and boundless. Here\, the stream of love and compassion which is already implicitly active becomes boundless and all-inclusive. Body\, heart and mind are naturally and undividedly awake.

SUMMARY:Simply Being - at Dhanakosa
DESCRIPTION:  \n‘Simply being’ points to the aliveness and awakeness that we can recognise at any moment. It’s an openness to full presence\, our full being – in body\, senses and awareness. It points to being what we really are\, beyond conceptual fabrication. In recognising and opening to the steady and spacious aspects of experience here and now\, we may glimpse a timeless awareness-emptiness that is inseparable from loving\, compassionate energy. \nWe’ll explore all this through sitting meditation\, experiential ‘lookings’ and by discovering our own direct experience as awareness\, simplicity\, intimacy and aliveness. These qualities are gateways to the five ‘undivided knowings’ (jnanas) which are the essence of the mandala of the five Buddhas. This offers a very practical ‘map’ of our immediate experience\, pointing to what has been here all along\, unnoticed – simply being
