would appreciateif there is a word for word translation to english for the puja chant(especially the great puja) so that we may understand the whole chanting which i think can help us connect and do visualization better.

“…a sense of open possibility and freedom beyond the static and solidified reality we are currently inhabiting. Won’t that be nice?”
Yes, that would be nice!
Thank you for explaining Dependent Origination so well.

Comment on Samadhi: A Unified Mind by Jenny Dooley

“I prefer to imagine it as bringing together and unifying the different mental functions so that they settle onto the same object, as opposed to an image of forcing the mind to focus on a single point or object. The result of such an unification of mind is a sense of rest, ease, and well-being that comes from healing the fragmentation of our mind.”
I had never thought of it this way before, except as ‘forcing the mind to focus on a single point or object’. It makes much more sense now that I’m imagining ‘unifying the different mental functions’.
Thank you dear teacher.
