Accepting frequent doctors appointments as part of my reality has freed so much energy. No more fighting what is - just showing up with kindness for myself. That choice alone is medicine. 💫

Sara Ann Swenson spent four years conducting fieldwork in Ho Chi Minh City. Her resulting ethnography examines Buddhist charity not just as a transfer of resources from donors to recipients but as an intricate web of emotion, morality, politics, and spiritual aspiration.

What is spirit?
According to Dr. Bokin Kim, the Won Buddhist tradition defines it as a state of serene clarity, devoid of discriminatory tendencies and attachments.
But to really know the spirit, we must know the mind. The mind possesses two primary functions: discrimination and attachment.
The spirit, although free from these functions, is not a completely separate entity from the mind. Rather, they interact on a spectrum.
With Dr. Bokin Kim, "Material and Spiritual Balance"

Train Landscape, Eric Ravilious, 1939. This was Ravilious’ view back towards the Westbury Horse depicted in another of his paintings. #Wiltshire. The original artwork is in the collection of @AbdnArtMuseums.
Vietnam has a religion that somehow manages to bring together Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, Victor Hugo and Joan of Arc. Naturally, I want to talk about it! Join me for a talk on Cao Dai at Sydney Unitarian Church, Darlinghurst, Sunday October 4 at 10.30am. ✨

'I marvelled at the labyrinth of dead ivy vines clinging to its trunk, a pattern map … a dimensional Ogham maze. This Sycamore, a strong, conscious being, a protective anchor. Could I decipher the code, the infinite mystery? I touched the bark, ants ran over my hand, the leaves whispered.' ... continued at link in 🧵#fortheloveoftrees ✨#eternallife #druidmusings
