"We should not feel like we are strangers to each

"We should not feel like we are strangers to each other but rather that we share a collective karma with one another on this earth and it is our responsibility to try to improve it. The basis of Lord Buddha’s teachings is that nothing rises by itself and we are not individual entities living by ourselves. The law of cause and effect and interdependence should encourage us to develop compassion for all living beings on this planet and for the earth itself. One beneficial act can have a multiple number of positive effects. We should feel greatly encouraged and determined to protect nature for this reason." - 17th Karmapa

This week's topic for our 108 Day Bodhisattva Challenge is on Karma. What beneficial act have you done that has caused and positive outcome on those around you? You can listen to Geshe Thinley's Dharma talk on 'Karma - Setting Your Intention' (recorded Nov 26, 2019) from the Rime Buddhist Center Dharma Talks podcast, link is in the bio.

Today begins the 108 Day Bodhisattva Challenge. With the start of a new year, Kalu Rinpoche reminds us to start at home.

If we can practice bodhicitta, develop patience, and pacify all disharmony in our own home, then we have prepared the way leading to the development of limitless bodhicitta. If, on the other hand, we cannot maintain patience and harmony in our own home with our own family, then it is very unlikely that we will be able to do this with respect to all sentient beings, who are infinite in number. - Kalu Rinpoche

Thank you for your generosity and efforts to help

Thank you for your generosity and efforts to help make GivingTuesday a success.

Through these offerings may all beings be liberated from the ocean of cyclic existence and from the fetters of their afflictions. May these offerings provide relief to those who have not found relief and protection for those without protection. A sanctuary for those in danger, a lamp for those without light, and place of refuge for those who lack shelter. May these offerings be a support to all in need.

Generosity need not be applied only in the materia

Generosity need not be applied only in the material realm. We can also cultivate a spirit of generosity in whatever problem we are working on. We do this by making an offering of ourselves – offering a hand, offering a word, offering heart and mind – as a positive condition in any situation we find ourselves in. This attitude extends our open heart and mind into action and keeps us ready to act to benefit others. - 17th Karmapa

The essence of generosity is letting go. Pain is always a sign that we are holding on to something — usually ourselves. When we feel unhappy, when we feel inadequate, we get stingy; we hold on tight. Generosity is an activity that loosens us up. By offering whatever we can — a dollar, a flower, a word of encouragement — we are training in letting go. - Pema Chödron

Transgender Day of Remembrance is an annual obser

Transgender Day of Remembrance is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. According to HRC in 2020 at least 36 transgender or gender non-conforming people were fatally shot or killed by other violent means, the majority of which were Black and Latinx transgender women. We say at least because too often these stories go unreported -- or misreported. Read the list of names on their website from the link below.

I’d known that I was more-or-less gender variant

I’d known that I was more-or-less gender variant for quite a while, but it was through a Dharmic practice of exploring my fears and engaging with them that I came to realize that I am a transgender woman. It was from this realization that I was able to see modes of suffering–gender dysphoria, the anxiety around my femininity being exposed, the fear of homophobic or transphobic violence–that had been with me my entire life, but that I had suppressed and wasn’t even consciously aware of. Once I was made aware of this suffering could I then start the work of addressing it. – Circe Namkha Rangdrol, she/her/hers
