Begin by cultivating a sense of delight in the qualities of the freedoms and riches: Seeing its many wonderful qualities, I rejoice and delight in this human life. Next contemplate the impermanence nature of phenomena: Like waves in the ocean, all things are impermanent. I will accept whatever happens and make it my friend. Contemplate the interdependence of causes and conditions: When causes and conditions come together, the result is sure to follow, so I will do my best to help others and engage in positive deeds. Contemplate the dreamlike quality of the suffering of Samsara: The suffering of beings is mainly produced by the mind. I must free myself from my self-created bonds.

Hi Everyone, new here 😊 and excited to be a part of the community. Wondering if anyone can help? I booked onto the live session this morning but was unable to attend and I’m not sure where I find the recording? Any pointers would be great. Thanks 😊

Thank you for a wonderful session this morning on the subtle Karma and our positive imprint. If our kindness and positive imprint does not, in any way, affect surrounding cause + effect, are our positive imprints during a lifetime solely directed to sorting our own path? Choosing the kind action (with detachment regarding the effect on the receiver) whilst respecting kindness to oneself. And, through that, placing one's (hopefully) positive imprint to the ebb and flow of the Interconnectedness of everything?

https://share.descript.com/view/aPR2UMIBJDc The first teaching session of the 'new term' - September 2024 - and I was comparing Beingfulness, the practice we usually explore on a Monday, with the Abhidharma course my teacher Mingyur Rinpoche is teaching at the moment.

I've been puzzling with Wix about the problem of people not getting email confirmations for the bookings. Most people do get them, but a few don't. If you don't, it's fine: you can find the Zoom link in your Mindsprings account. Click the box below to see the walk-through... https://share.descript.com/view/MoJpb75RJfm Log on to your account on your computer then click My Bookings this will show everything you have coming up. Click on the one you want to attend and then on Zoom details. This will take you to the meeting. Or you can click the symbol to the right to copy it for later. The same thing pertains to the app. Click the My Profile button on the bottom right and then on bookings. Remember: • you do need to book each session individually to get the details. Each session has its own Zoom code. • you will need a valid Baobab subscription. (You can also check, cancel and control your subscriptions in your Mindsprings settings, as above.) The system gets confused if you have multiple subscriptions running. • Please check your spam box. You might get personal emails from @mind-springs.org but your server might be sniffy about automated emails from the same domain. So if possible 'whitelist' @mind-springs.org in your mail server settings.

Greetings of peace, Alistair and wonderful community members! I am looking for your recommendations for a beneficial Mindsprings video, post or suggested reading about the topic of suffering. I am an Imana and coordinator of a Mosque in Canada (near Toronto), and I have recently found that many of my beloved Mosque members are suffering from life challenges, loss, grief and heavy burdens. I am happy to respond, support and bring love to all of these members, but I find that at the end of the day, I feel overwhelmed with sadness and the weight of human suffering. Would you mind recommending to me a Mindspring video, post, or a reading on suffering with a Buddhist or mindfulness perspective that you have found helpful? Thank you, and blessings! xx

For me it was a lovely session this morning. Thanks Alistair. And oddly enough found my book The Wisdom of Insecurity by Alan Watts! Time to re- read it. 🙏
