"The truth you believe and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new." ~ Pema Chodron
#ThoughtfulThursday: Feed your mind as you would your stomach - often, abundantly, and with solely the best. Clear your mind's cupboards of limiting beliefs to make space for new thoughts with higher 'nutritional value.'

[Chan Master Wu Jue Miao Tian’s Book of wisdom] Mind And Spirit Reformation
[悟覺妙天禪師開示集]心靈改革
修行印心禪法淨化心靈,就是心靈改革最直接,最迅速、最有效的方法。
每位同修從心裏淨化自己,對於社會、人與人之間多付出愛心,關懷多餘責備,讚美多於批評,與人無爭多禮讓,與世無爭多寬容,無忌妒人之心,無仇恨人之心,無報復人之心。凡事少感情用事,多理性思考;多培養慈悲心、公德心,多遵守社會秩序和法治,不因個人過度自由去侵犯別人應有的自由,時時多尊重別人,處處多接受別人的建言,萬事退後一步想海闊天空,多給人留餘地,多給人留空間。給人留餘地、空間,就是給自己留餘地、空間,這就是「心靈改革」!

Practicing Heart
Chan Dharma is the most effective way in reforming our mind and spirit. Each
practitioner purifies him/herself from heart by the practice of purification in
daily life; though being benevolent, respectful, and open-minded toward others and the
society. Being rational rather than being emotional, praise more than criticize.
No jealousy, hatred, and revenge. Being thoughtful of others as leaving more
space for oneself. This is the reformation of our minds.

“Meditate to sharpen your assertive edge” by Charles Wallace on Financial Times.com
Can you find a way to cool yourself down, both body and mind?
Well, body’s
cooling down seems to be easy that just sit in an air conditioning room would
be enough. How about your stressed out minds? I believe that many people here
would know the best answer provided here is Chan Meditation. It would not only
help you to calm down, but furthermore, to help you to figure out how to
balance lives which can help to remove the causes of stress.
Through the article, Wallace says that,
“My personal answer to stress has been meditation, albeit
practised somewhat erratically and with mixed results over the years. I have
tried several types of meditation, including mindfulness, which involves
focusing your attention on your breath for certain periods of the day. But the
most calming sort I have found – it’s
really up to the individual – is
transcendental meditation, which involves repeating a mantra for two, 20-minute
periods a day.”
Wallace also mentions he is not the only one who gains benefits
from transcendental meditation. Relying on medicine will not be a long-tern resolution.
More and more C-levels reveal their experiences.
Believe it!
Chan Meditation brings you up to transcendental level,
even more.
Give ourselves a regular time to practice Chan Meditation.
You’ll figure what differences are.

Believe in yourself
believing in yourself, does not mean to accept all the emotions you feel, but a "gut feeling" or that intuition which comes out from within. Try to tap into that unlimited power from deep within!

"Club Meditation: China’s spiritual tourism boom" By Patti Waldmeir on THE FINANCIAL TIMES.
People who seek for inner peace would be fascinated by Eastern cultures. For instance, people would be interested by the movement from the motive to calm in Tai-Chi or most of teaching will indicate that Meditation is the most direct approach. It has becomes one of very popular topics tourism. Many people think of that would be other opportunities to extend their markets or products.
However, does it mean what if individual who would like to seek
inner peace, he/ she has to take a few days off and visit those places
which are far to reach as mentioned in the article?
This might need people to schedule
their time. It does not to be very efficient. Is there any possible way to
have similar places or lessons nearby our daily lives? Fortunately,the answer
is "Yes, we have!"
The most easiest approach is practicing Chan Meditation. Each
county will have one or more Chan Meditation center to provide a peaceful and
well environment to let us practice Chan Meditation. Certain times each week, there will be try-out classes!
Come to join us and try another
different style of spiritual tourism.
