The difference between Awareness and Mindfulness with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

Why bother? Who needs mindfulness?

(Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche) Find yourself wondering about the differences between awareness and mindfulness? In this teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche explains this question from the traditional Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist perspective by exploring the difference between object-oriented and subject-oriented forms of meditation as ways to connect with [bare] awareness.

Meditate by Letting the Mind Be as It Is – Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

• 

  Mindfulness in Plain English

  [EDITOR'S NOTE: Mindfulness is wakeful, vigilant, presence of mind in this moment as a watcher rather than as a participant. It is not being sucked in or getting entangled but merely observing, bare awareness, not evaluating, judging, resisting, preferring, averting, but just dispassionately aware, detached but fully awake to what is, whatever it is even as it is constantly changing. Rather than attempting to fix, improve, change, or involve ourselves, we just watch and see what happens as it happens. This, Wisdom Quarterly suggests, is the principal difference between mindfulness and awareness. Mindfulness is "bare awareness," a kind of looking on (watching) that is free of discursive thinking, drifting off, or having distractions pull us away and scatter our attention. It is undivided, keenly interested attention that does not grasp, cling, or prefer but is open to whatever is in this moment, the "eternal now." See: "Mindfulness" defined (Ven. Analayo), Establishing Mindfulness Sutra (podcast), Confronting Racism with Mindfulness, and Youth Sutra, The Buddha's Mindfulness Diet Plan]

WHAT HAPPENED?

What is a sound bath for spiritual cleansing?

In PR Russia with its worker cooperatives, the nation hides a glorious imperial past. Leningrad is actually Saint Petersburg, and this is where the czar stored the booty from imperial Eurasian adventures and conquests in the forging of the USSR, a Soviet super-nation, now mostly disassembled. The great Central Asian "stans" where the Buddha grew up are remnants of that time as is Ukraine and places as far away as Mongolia. The palace is now a museum. One needn't travel all the way there to see it, just visit The Langham Huntington Resort Spa in residential Pasadena on Lake Ave., which becomes Oak Knoll as it flows south.

The Langham Huntington, Pasadena

All the Gilded Age gold inlay on the ceiling...anyway, turn left to the Georgian Room, apparently named after the country of Georgia, where 60 yoga mats were arranged in a flower pattern streaming out from a center, where all of our "philosophical instruments" (Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, Zildjian gong, tingsha, giant shamanic drum, muyu wooden temple drum) were set up. Enormous amethyst and clear quartz crystals formed a ring around our sacred space. Eager participants, many of them guests of the hotel, streamed in and found a place, arranging themselves on the ground for maximum comfort, socializing and hugging. Then Seven sounded the drum and brought their attention to the basics for the evening:

• total relaxation
• receptivity with palms facing upward (downward for grounding)
• diaphragmatic breathing
• placing the mind on the breath to remain in the present moment, knowing the human superpower of adverting attention to a safe default (resting home) position at the nose or belly button.

Slowly the other musicians, the Zildjian Mistress Linda Lau Cole and Dr. O'Connor and Linda with the bell and her husband with the rain stick wandered about, enchanting the audience. Some sat to meditate, others taking a supine position to exhale.

The instructions were simple. What? Be. Where? Here. When? Now. How? Breathe and stay with the breath already breathing itself. Be a mindful observer of all that is coming up, without

• fixing
• judging
• evaluating
• clinging to
• rejecting
• fighting
• or even choosing

The work of the shaman is healing.

the content of experience. Be here now. Stay present. Know the safety of presence as Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle explain it. Be in the now. The room was very safe. People kept streaming in, finding a mat. The sounds became ethereal, echoing, softening hearts and soothing minds.

Dr. O'Connor voiced otherworldly notes, traces of Tibetan chants, a heavenly choir as the Mistress joined in. Seven gave reiki and a laying on of healing hands, transferring prana and whispering a sacred mantra, for those open to it.

Dr. O'Connor began the process of emerging, signaling the supine to slowly move their heads side to side and rouse themselves with tapping. Slowly they sat up, smiling, looking at one another with lovely eyes.

Raising open palms, we intoned three long "OMs" together to send out metta and positive energy to an aching world. Outside, the earlier rain had quelled the fires and begun the cleansing process. Inside, the vibration had been raised, and there was clarity and a wish to connect.

• The next FREE sound bath and healing event was announced (February 8, 2025, at 4:00 pm, at The Awareness Center, Pasadena.

Roses were distributed to everyone as was water provided by the spa. Some people cried tears of joy, free hugs were on offer, and plans were made to reunite as everyone was invited to the next event.

Breath key to change: prana, meditation

Once you breathe like this, reality shifts

(Solace Owl) What if I were to say that the key to shifting "reality" [timeline, position in the universe, psychophysical health] lies in something as simple as breathing?

As crazy as it may sound, we’re inhaling the essence of the universe with our every inhalation (prana). It’s the most fundamental act of life, something we do unconsciously every moment of every day, yet 99% of people don’t know the truth about breathing.

This simple action has the power to transform our entire existence, but only if we know the secret behind it.

Let’s discover the long-kept secret of ancient breath masters, something so powerful that it had to be kept hidden for centuries.

Ugly Trump truths: poop pants, diapers, bald

We thought we knew bald-on-top Trump, but incontinent, bad breath, dentures, cocaine nose?

Trump's drug abuse and diaper problems

(Grouchy Marx) Noel Casler is a former production assistant on shows like "The Apprentice," "Celebrity Apprentice," "Saturday Night Live," and others working with the Trump family, incestuous kingpin daughter Ivanka Trump in particular.

You smell like shit, Bitch, and you just sat down! - I'm in con, in-con, I wear adult diapers.

I personally know fecal Don Trump firsthand.

Casler witnessed firsthand many of Donald John Trump's disgusting habits behind the scenes and on the set of various TV shows Trump has been on -- regularly crapping his trousers due to the laxative effect of stimulants like cocaine and Adderall, all-junk food diet, horrific breath of arrogance from not brushing and wearing dentures, potty mouth of literal fecal breath, narcissist, rapist, Pedophile Island-visiting child abuser, sexist aggressor, utter hypocrite, Bibi-backing, Bible thumping, sociopathic liar, exaggerating, bragging, self-aggrandizing, wearing lifts, laced up girdle to hold his belly in, coating himself in foundation (tanning makeup called Bronx Concealer #5), suffering psychopathy symptoms, dementia, senility, abuse of others, engaging in chronic incestuous behavior...

Posture? I wear high heel lifts (politicalflare.com)

gay supporter of gays (according to a grouchy Black activist), manipulated by his daughter Ivanka who uses sex not only for their documented lap dance but inside where she manipulates him and massages his, uh, ego, because Melania his trophy wife won't, pro-abortion Bible-seller, pretending to be a Christian to dupe Christian dupes, who rationalize that the Orange One must be "God's choice" for president to save the country from baby-killers like Genocidal Joe Biden and Over-the-Hillary when Trump has always been pro-abortion and a funder of Democrats who now admits aloud, a dyslexic, angry moron, NLP trickster, dishonest businessman, corrupt and nepotistic politician, litigious attorney-supporter, and loser.

Ivanka ran US, not bald Don

When Trump's mug

Is found on a rug

Atop a dog’s pile

All frown and no smile

Unhappy, unsure

With combover of dyed fur

A mess with an issue

Hot tanned toilet tissue

With makeup all caked up

Bronzed ginger all baked up

Dropping a deuce

In wet pants like a sluice

Little hands in his pants

Doing a Rosie-ringed dance

Lying and buying

Begging for a 2nd chance

The court may hear it

MAGAots may cheer it

But we never will

Not in House or on Hill

The would-be emperor's nude

He's one f'd up dude

He's a fake not a friar

A psycho-pathological liar

Trump campaigned on LGBTQ rights. as president he keeps backstabbing them (time.com)

A Chocolate Meditation before Valentine's

Ananda (Dharma Buddhist Meditation), Dhr. Seven, Jen B., Crystal Q., Wisdom Quarterly

WHAT HAPPENED?

What's an urban shaman to say to Americans?

We all gathered in the Valley (1/27/24) in a spacious home with wood floors. Cacao was brewing on the stove as vegan dishes were brought in and spread all across a large table. Lisa opened the event with a circle of introductions by each person, city traveled from, and the nature of the dish brought for the potluck. Then we ate, socialized, got cozy and, finishing up, prepared for a meditative experience. This was no lecture but a sensual, in-the-body experience of profound relaxation, staying with the present moment, and trying not to anticipate the wonderful chocolate (xocolatl, Theobroma cacao) about to be served. Using deep breathing and complete letting go, staying awake and alert of all that was going on right here right now, we opened up, became vulnerable, felt our feelings, experienced our sensations with what the Buddha taught was mindfulness: dispassionate awareness of all that was going on. It is not enough to be aware. It is awareness, watching the experience. Seeing sights, hearing sounds, feeling tactile sensations, perceiving scents and tastes and mind object and letting them be. Radical acceptance of what is without fixing it, altering it, distorting it, or resisting it. In that moment, everything was okay. Everything was acceptable. Everything was impersonal and passing away, repeating or not as alluring as it previously seemed to be. Smiles sprouted on faces all around.

This is the plant helper Theobroma cacao

Everyone sat in a circle, on soft sofas, chairs, the wooden floor, with Stephanie on a yoga mat as the demonstration, Seven led us through letting go and consciousness-expansion. Then came the creamy vegan chocolate and an intention setting exercise, as we placed our intentions into the drink by some shamanic alchemical Dr. Emoto alteration of water by consciousness, as Indian genius Jagadish Chandra Bose (who discovered The Secret Life of Plants) taught was happening all the time as we interact with our environment.

• Indian botanist and genius J.C. Bose on the Secret Life of Plants [and inanimate objects] (SRF)

Then we mindfully drank, experiencing the cacao with all six of our senses. Then solid pieces of chocolate were distributed, rich in the alkaloid theobromine, and savored in a way that brought out all its richness -- aware of craving, desire, or grasping arising for flavor and comfort -- so as to make it both delicious, opening to our lives (because this is not a rehearsal for some future time when we'll be alive) and a lesson that mindfulness is possible every waking moment. Meditation is one thing, sitting in a stillness approaching samadhi, and mindfulness is possible once an attitude adjustment makes us aware what we are doing, what we have been doing, and what is possible to do. Rather than abandoning ourselves and the present moment, we can be fully in the moment like a peak experience. We can enjoy all that human life has to offer and not mindlessly cling to it, making ourselves susceptible to misery when it alters, as it certainly will. We can see things as incapable of fulfilling and satisfying us and behave accordingly. We may even glimpse how impersonal it all is. Then we met ourselves with a partner, standing face to face, practicing being present for our experience and being present for another person. Everyone met, embraced, shook hands, introduced themselves to one another. There was a memorial for great vegan Buddhist Alan, who recently passed away, as his caretaker Christina was present. Then more socializing and storytelling took place, having gone up a few levels, as everyone was suddenly on very intimate terms and open with everyone else. It was a meditative, mindful, and gastronomical success.

Theobroma cacao is the "Food of the Gods"

and enjoy ALL of the potential benefits of meditation. But HOW?!

We start this year with a Cacao Ceremony (xocolatl, FREE CHOCOLATE) and Intention Setting.

It includes Ecstatic Breathwork, Bodywork (to melt into the mat), and understanding what "Mindfulness" really means.

Could we be mindful of eating delicious things?

Is greed good? How about craving for chocolate (Theobroma cacao, the "Food of the Gods")? We'll find out.
