Change, Impermanence, and Gliding Through Life's Transitions

Pawan Bareja

Aniccā—change, or impermanence—is one of the three characteristics of our existence. But even with our Dharma practice, when we have so much coming at us, we may feel afraid of change, or be afraid to make some changes in ourselves. One thing that gets in the way of letting go of negative thought patterns and making changes is trauma. What's beautiful, though, is that the psychological, neurological, and biochemical impacts of trauma can be reversed entirely! The mind has enough neuroplasticity that you can heal and thrive in ways that you may have never believed possible.

Born for Love

Pawan Bareja

The Buddha said that the object of our practice should be first of all, our own self. Your ability to love another person depends on your ability to love yourself. Thich Nhat Hanh says, “If you’re not able to accept yourself, how could you accept another person?” In mettā practice, receiving care from the benefactor or ally is so that love and caring for your own self increases. Because we are truly born for love. As you learn to receive love from others, this deepens your love for your own self. And this mettā manifests in the world around you.

Heart Practices in the Time of Pandemic and Racism

Pawan Bareja

What qualities of your ancestors have you inherited? What strengths have you inherited? What qualities are flowing through your bloodstream? Take a moment and recall some of these qualities. These are our roots. And no matter how large we become, it’s these roots, our ancestors, these roots that keep us grounded.
