SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT ZEN THERAPY
Buddhist Psychology has what we in the West might call behavioural, cognitive, humanistic and analytical aspects all together in a single system. In other words, it deals with all aspects of the process of internalising experience and turning it…See More
David Brazier commented on David Brazier's blog post MY MEDICAL CONDITION"Thanks, David - wise words indeed."
"One of the human body’s most remarkable characteristics is its ability to restore and repair itself, often under seemingly hopeless circumstances. This does not always happen quickly or easily and a 100% success is never certain.

David Brazier replied to David Brazier's discussion DOOM AND SMALL HOPE in the group WAR & PEACE"Thanks, Mat."
"The thought I've carried several years now is the curious sense that encountering the possibility of a change so vastly beyond what I can control, 'be ready for', or protect those I love from, actually changes nothing very much at…"
David Brazier replied to David Brazier's discussion DOOM AND SMALL HOPE in the group WAR & PEACE"I agree. When you read about how former civilisations ended, it all seems very familiar. We are destroying the world that we depend upon just as aphids destroy a rose bush. The aphids have other bushes to fly to, we do not. The difference with…"
"I think it may prove worse than any of us has imagined for millions of people across Latin America, Africa, India, and Asia. Economic and political stresses will be exacerbated by climate change, pollution, water shortages, and famine. These…"

Peter Henderson replied to David Brazier's discussion ZEN THERAPY ABILITIES in the group ITZI"I think this article would be ideal to explore at our get togethers. "
Nati replied to David Brazier's discussion ZEN THERAPY ABILITIES in the group ITZI"Thank you Dharmavidya.
It is not easy to make a summary of a this kind. As you have said this form of therapy is like playing an instrument , dancing or writing a poem, I mean it is a sort of art. Despite of this I think it is wisely described and…"
"Speaking as someone who's only sat on the client side of this contract, I might add another along the lines of 'Remember you don't know'. I think about situations where trust and a sense that something valuable has taken place…"

WEEP FOR OUR WORLD

At the moment I am feeling very sad for the state of the planet. As I write the great forests are being consumed by fire, both the tropical forest in Brazil and the tundra forest in Russia. The great forests are the lungs of the earth. I myself have lung problems. When there are parts of the lungs that don’t work anymore one can run out of energy. It can strike suddenly. We will probably not do anything serious about climate change or wildlife extinction…
MY MEDICAL CONDITION
Posted by David Brazier on June 26, 2019 at 18:04 10 Comments 2 Likes
My medical condition continues to be a mystery. It is clear that I do not have any of the big nasty things - brain tumour, cracked skull, stroke, etc - as these have been ruled out by MRI investigation. Nonetheless I continue to have persistent, continuous head pain that varies in intensity and I become exhausted by the least effort so that I am functioning like an invalid incapable of doing very much. There is always a possibility that the whole syndrome is a…

“Do we know what it means to be struck by grace? It does not mean that we suddenly believe that God exists, or that Jesus is the saviour, or that the Bible contains the truth. Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlessness. It strikes us when we walk through the dark Valley of a meaningless and empty life. It strikes us when we feel that our separation is deeper than usual, because we have violated another life, a life which we loved, or from which we were estranged. It strikes us… Continue

This is a short video of a Buddhist monk and his family.
It raised questions on parenting and Buddhism - does detachment (or perhaps quietism), as practiced here, lead to demotivation and disengagement with the world around one?
His children find the detachment practised by the monk disquieting. They appreciate the irony of detachment, which is supposed to…
