Please join Phillip for the 22nd annual Poetry Day—a special online daylong of meditation and poetry—Saturday, August 23rd, 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PT. Together, we’ll explore the theme “Life Is Everywhere Life” through selected poems and Dharma reflections.
@Spirit_Rock This is a day of fun and lightheartedness, and if you haven’t ever read a poem in front of others, don’t miss this opportunity to free your voice and find a new form of expression. All are welcome.
@Spirit_Rock Sitting and walking meditation will be woven with periods of reading poetry to one another, creating a space of warmth, insight, and shared humanity.
@Spirit_Rock Each poem Phillip has chosen invites us to meet our lives—especially during times of difficulty and uncertainty—with wisdom and compassion.
Here is a short teaching from Phillip's recent daylong retreat. This teaching is titled As Best I Am Able—a core aspect of the Naturally Arising method and a practice that if used in your daily life can help you develop compassion and equanimity. https://t.co/DOgYFrLGr2

Forgiveness practice is about liberating your own feelings and finding meaning in the worst of life’s events. You practice forgiveness to be free of the inner violence of your rage, and you do not abandon the pursuit of right action.

It is craving… accompanied by relish and lust, relishing this and that… craving for sensual desires, craving for being, craving for non-being…

When we measure our self-worth by how well we succeed in meeting our desires, we organize around always striving to have more of whatever it is we want.

When you organize and measure your life by how well you follow your intentions instead of getting what you desire, your moments of happiness are enhanced and your difficult moments are more bearable.
