Charter for Compassion

Wisdom Quarterly; CharterForCompassion.org
Kwan Yin first of seven manifestations of Buddha in Japan (Gemc666/flickr.com)
 
Heart (campus.udayton.edu)
The principle of compassion (karuna) lies at the heart of all religious, ethical, and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves.
  
Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the center of our world and put another there, and to honor the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity, and respect.
   
Divine (turnbacktogod.com)
It is also necessary, in both public and private life, consistently and with empathy, to refrain from inflicting pain. To act or speak violently out of spite, chauvinism, or self-interest, to impoverish, exploit, or deny basic rights to anybody, and to incite hatred by denigrating others -- even our enemies -- is a denial of our common humanity.
  
We acknowledge that we have failed to live compassionately and that some have even increased the sum of human misery in the name of religion.

We therefore call upon all men and women:
  • to the center of morality and religion
  • to return to the ancient principle that any interpretation of scripture that breeds violence, hatred, or disdain is illegitimate
  • to ensure that youth are given accurate and respectful information about other traditions, religions, and cultures
  • to encourage a positive appreciation of cultural and religious diversity
  • to cultivate an informed empathy with the suffering of all human beings -- even those regarded as enemies.
Kwan Yin (Majicaloblivion)
We urgently need to make compassion a clear, luminous, and dynamic force in our polarized world. Rooted in a principled determination to transcend selfishness, compassion can break down political, dogmatic, ideological, and religious boundaries. 
  
Born of our deep inter-dependence, compassion is essential to human relationships and to a fulfilled humanity. 
  
It is the path to enlightenment and indispensable to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community.

Self-view, non-duality, and Zen (video)

  • PLAY NOW ("Intellectual Yoga," Aug. 5, 2012 8:00 am)
Yoga (to yoke) means union. There are different ways (to yoke, to union). It opposes alienation, the view of separateness of "self" from all (sakkaya-drishti). Experiencing the ONENESS of all things is not enlightenment. But it is blissful, a  relief, giving a sense of connection longed for (connectedness) at a profound and innate level. How? Allow it.
   
We may be finding it difficult to meditate. That's common and to be expected for untrained hearts. Stress not. Relax more deeply. Wish for it less. But keep applying the "method" -- bring mind back to the object of meditation. What does that mean? It only means remember to give attention to what the mind is being centered on -- the present moment, this breath, a mantra, a sensation, a visualization, a fragrance. If one is engaged in the fundamental practice of not concentrating on the breath but simply allowing attention to go back to the breath again and again until it sits there. There is no effort to make other than persisting, waiting for a natural elevated state to come as a result of everything falling away, letting go, restoring consciousness to pure awareness without a goal.

MCTB The Non-Duality Model
DharmaOverground.org
The Non-Duality Model essentially says that the goal is to stop a process of identification that turns some patterns of sensations into a Doer, Perceiver, Center Point, Soul, Agent, or Self in some very fundamental perceptual way. By seeing these sensations as they are, the process can gradually be seen through until one day: “In the seeing [there is] just the seen, in the hearing just the heard, in the thinking [otherwise experienced] just the thought”...

The Summer of Naked Bath Salt "Zombies"

Examiner.com; Wisdom Quarterly
Going to extremes: results from tanning spray vs. bath salt abuse (examiner.com)
 
The summer of naked bath salts-induced attacks continues apace. The latest abuser of the powerful hallucinogen was a brand-new mother in Altoona, Pennsylvania, who couldn’t wait until she had left the maternity ward to smoke a dose, strip naked, and embark on a violent rampage. The Altoona Mirror reports that on June 17th, two days after giving birth, 31-year-old Carla Murphy (shown above at right) was found by a nurse rolling around on a shower floor naked and confused. When roused, Murphy sprung into frenetic action, taking off down the hall, screaming profanities, and kicking and punching whoever crossed her path. Hospital medical personnel were able to restrain her long enough to administer the anti-psychotic drug Haldol. More
