Be sincere,
Live according to your true nature.
It's better to be a sincere fool,
Than to fake that you are wise.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Gazing intently into the empty sky, vision ceases; / Likewise, when mind gazes into mind itself, / The train of discursive and conceptual thought ends / And supreme enlightenment is gained. — Tilopa (c. 988–c. 1069)

Then we built roads to tie the earth down tight
packages of rock & dirt
otherwise the face of the earth
would have flown right off
the face of the earth

The memory house too airy & blown out to hold more

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Don’t recall: Let go of what has passed. Don’t imagine: Let go of what may come. Don’t think: Let go of what is happening now. Don’t examine: Don’t try to figure anything out. Don’t control: Don’t try to make anything happen. Rest: Relax, right now, and rest. — Mahasiddha Tilopa (988–1069 CE)

DREAM YOGA
At night, strive to invoke the self-purification of confused dreams; ...
One rides on the sun and moon, travels to all buddhafields, And behold! All "good" and "bad" illusions become self-liberated.

We at MProNews send a HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY to Naropa University in Boulder, CO.
Since its founding in 1974, #Naropa has served as an original hub of the American #Meditation and #mindfulness movement and is one of few institutions that still adhere to "old-school" Tibetan-style #Buddhism.

Eventually your meditative stability in the practice will increase. The sign of success is that the radiance of the light from the inner fire begins to cause the inside and outside of your body, as well as your dwelling place and so forth, to seem to take on a special luster and radiance and to become as translucent as a piece of kyurura held in the hand.' It is important during meditation sessions to keep the mind on the tiny radiant flame. This renders concentration more subtle and encourages quick and easy fulfillment of the meditative powers.
