I love waking up before the sun. Lights off Complete quiet. Enveloped in darkness. Wishing in gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease. Kinda like a wake n bake but with #metta instead of weed. This metta jhana stuff is the SHIT man! #BeHappy

Saturday evening here. Perfectly quiet. Immersing myself in the quiet. Staying in tonight. Quiet, quiet, mindfully quiet. Shhhh Just the subtle breath. And the wish: May be happy and peaceful. #metta #jhana #vipassana #mindfulness #meditation

Noticing you are lost in thought and bringing your mind back to the present moment - noticing body sensations. Noticing whatever is being experienced right now. It's not difficult to do; it's difficult to REMEMBER to do it. Over and over all day. #BeHappy #BeMindful #ItsAPractice #metta

Just got an email from someone asking about equanimity vs anger and shouldn't we be angry about the fascism? If we aren't angry will we be passive? Can we fight fascism with a smile on our face and love in our hearts? You bet we can!! #BeHappy #itsapractice #metta

Morning #metta, up early sitting in a hotel lobby watching tired people and wishing them well. May all the staff and guests be at ease. May they be free from misery, suffering and pain. My mind is aglow even before sunrise. #jhana feels good! #vipassana #meditation #mindfulness #mahasi

Morning #metta Taking a moment to read and reflect on metta. In every moment, we have a choice to open or close. Turn off auto-pilot and stay open to life. Face whatever needs to be faced with an inner smile and an open heart. #BeHappy #itsapractice #jhana #vipassana #meditation

This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech,
Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied,
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm and wise and skillful, Not proud or demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.
Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born -
May all beings be at ease!
Let none deceive another,
Or despise any being in any state.
Let none through anger or ill-will
Wish harm upon another.
Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings;
Radiating kindness over the entire world:
Spreading upwards to the skies,
And downwards to the depths;
Outwards and unbounded,
Freed from hatred and ill-will.
Whether standing or walking,
seated or lying down
Free from drowsiness,
One should sustain this recollection.
This is said to be the sublime abiding.
By not holding to fixed views,
The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,
Being freed from all sense desires,
Is not born again into this world.

You poorly programmed meat puppets... Let it be known that you can take control of your programming! You can program yourself to be content and at ease no matter what is happening in the outside world! Not as an escape, but as a solid place from which to face what must be faced. #BeHappy #metta

Morning #metta Sitting in my rental car in a parking lot - a few minutes before I have to go inside for work. Perfect opportunity to tune in to a metta vibe I'll try to keep the metta vibe going, underlying all my interactions with people throughout the day. #BeHappy #itsapractice

Early morning #metta... "... No Ananda, the whole path is about noble friendship..." A very sweet talk on aging, death, good friends and a well lived life. This will surely warm your heart. May your day be filled with kindness and patience. dharmaseed.org/teacher/174/...

#metta on my lunch break... I just sent in an application for a 2 month intensive retreat at the end of the year - which seems more wholesome than trying to get to Burningman next month. ...the little angel and devil whispering into my respective ears. Anyway. #BeHappy #itsapractice

A long weekend festival with old friends followed by 5 days of solo-backpacking in the mountains, followed by work. Balance. Trying to bring #metta practice into all of it. May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free on this perfect day. #vipassana #jhana #mahasi #meditation

"... Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways..." I was reflecting that the happiest times of my life have generally included a backpack on my back and some money in my pocket. May you let go of the things that no longer serve you. #metta #BeHappy #itsapractice #Vipassana #jhana

Nothing like a nice solo hike in the mountains... Although mindfulness can be practiced anywhere under any circumstances... One thing I noticed in the silence was how much my mind was wandering... Bringing it back to #metta over and over again... #BeHappy #itsapractice

I followed through on my #metta intention today. I walked up to a little kid with a lemonade stand on the side of the road. I paid my dollar, took a sip, walked away until I was out of sight and poured the sweet juice out on the grass. I'm on a low carb diet. I was just being supportive :-)

May I humbly suggest beginning the day by reading and reflecting on the attached #metta sutta? Our intentions are important as they guide our speech and actions. It's good to set intentions and be aware of what they are so we don't sleep walk through the day. #BeHappy #itsapractice

As a craver of solitude, I'm being contrarian around the holidays. I'm going to work all weekend and go hiking in the mountains during the week. It's easier to be mindful when you don't have to interact with people. May you be happy! #metta

I was in line waiting for the DMV to open, thinking, of all places, THIS is the place to practice #patience, #kindness, #equanimity and #metta But somehow, I managed to get my license renewed in 15 minutes. Completely painless - and I won't have to go back for 8 years. Pleasantly surprised.

Saturday #metta I've been reflecting on the difference between the active investigation of experience in #vipassana vs relaxing into and aligning yourself with the present experience. May you take some time this weekend to explore your inner world. #BeHappy #itsapractice

Early morning #metta and coffee The thought for today is about allowing yourself to feel unpleasant emotions. Don't try to make them go away. Don't distract yourself with your phone. Don't make yourself busy. Sit with what is. Take a loving attitude towards it.

#metta is also about loving / accepting whatever is arising in the present moment in one's awareness. Suffering = resistance to what is Equanimity = non resistance / non reactivity Metta = loving acceptance and alignment with what is #BeHappy #itsapractice #vipassana #jhana
