new research reveals that mindfulness, a practice involving focusing on the present moment, can also make some people more selfish.

Independent people who practise mindfulness become less likely to help or be generous to others.

Admirable people have four qualities: They’re virtuous, generous, wise, and believe in the principle that skillful qualities should be developed and unskillful qualities abandoned.

—Thanissaro Bhikkhu, “Skillful Shelter”

B Prajñaparamita is the liberating insight that helps us to overcome all pairs of opposites, such as birth and death, being and non-being, defilement and immaculacy, increasing and decreasing, subject and object, and so on. All phenomena are products of dependent arising: that is the main point of the prajñaparamita teaching. This helps us to get in touch with the true nature of no birth/no death, no being/no non-being, etc., which is the true nature of all phenomena.

The Goal: Moksha, Atman-Brahman "It is only ignorance to regard the seeming separateness of objects in the external world as real. The only true reality is oneness with Brahman, and the only right and true purpose in human life is to realize this oneness. Man's essential duty is to transform his consciousness so that he can become one with Brahman" (Lamb, 27)

CONZE-“Historical facts are rather disconcerting to common-sense.

The Buddhist community is the oldest institution of mankind. It has survived longer than any other institution, except the kindred sect of the Jains. Here you have the big bullying empires of history, guarded by hosts of soldiers, ships and magistrates. Scarcely has one of them lasted longer than three centuries. There you have a movement of deliberate beggars* despised whatever the world valued; who valued whatever the world despises – meekness, generosity, idle contemplation.*

And yet, where these mighty empires, built on greed, hatred and delusion, lasted just a few centuries, the impulse of self-denial carried the community through 2,500 years. ….Darwinism and the other philosophies behind the big empires are very shallow; they have their day – it is really a very short day and not a very restful day while it lasts.

Whereas the great and universal wisdom tradition of mankind goes deep down to the very roots, the very breath and rhythm of life.

It is the meek that will inherit the earth, it is the meek that have inherited the earth – because they alone are willing to live in contact with it.”
