Service In a Very Busy Time (Link #522)
from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students
Speaker: Daisuke Inaba. To find time in our busy lives for practice and service, we can apply techniques to calm ourselves, to be kind to ourselves, and to be more aware of our state of mind. Taking deep breaths calms us and gives us the space to be kind to ourselves. Although we may be tempted to blame ourselves or others for not accomplishing our goals, it is important to remember that aggression is not productive. With a calm and accepting mind, we are better able to consider objectively how we use our time; observing our behavior in this way allows us to recognize how we distract ourselves and how---and why---we procrastinate. We can also try to emulate how Rinpoche moves through the world with such relaxation and lightness.
