///////////BRAIN- CONNECTIONS MAY BE THE KEY-CONNECTOME
/////////////...... gesture is some kind of universal natural language
///////////////........The digitus impudicus that Romans insulted each other with is the same digit we use for that purpose today (and while the phrase “digitus impudicus” takes some education and background to decipher, a display of the “impudent finger” does not).
.......When we speak, we shape our thoughts for language, and when we gesture, we shape them in the space in front of us.

///////////////......Buddhism is typically associated in the Western imagination – or at least in that substantial portion of it represented in and shaped by our advertising – with the idea of a stress-free life, an escape from responsibility. You sit in loose, white linen on a spotless veranda overlooking the sea and hum: Ommm. For Kadam Morten, a teacher in the New Kadampa tradition, this couldn’t be farther from reality. Buddhist spiritual practice, he says, is just that – a practice. As such, it demands lifelong discipline not apart from, but in the midst of life’s difficulties.

////////////////BDDHISM AS SC AND PHILO OF MIND- A WAY OF LF-A PATH
//////////////////....“if nothing changes, nothing changes.
.......And once you see that you can bring about change in yourself, then you recognize that changing everything is possible – it just depends on our outlook, it depends on our mind.”
////////////THE ZEN NOW MINDFUL RITUAL
//////////////BDDHISM IS A METHOD
......What’s important is are you becoming more peaceful, more loving, more compassionate? Is your own anger reducing? Geshe Kelsang says the real source of happiness is inner peace. Whatever’s on your mind is peaceful, you’re happy and you can experience that directly,” he says.
........STRESS WITHOUT ACCEPTING IS LIKE DRIVING WITH THE HANDBRAKES ON
.........Oh, look. Anger. No big deal. Just let it go.’
.........Happiness comes through peace.”
.......... But the real problem is you have an uncomfortable mind, doesn’t matter how comfortable the situation is
.........Instead of being an object of anger, they become your object of patience,”
............. I think one of the misconceptions about Buddhism is that it’s also about running away, heading for the hills or becoming an aesthetic or walking around very slowly and drinking tea very slowly. Actually, it’s about developing a quick mind. It’s really a very creative practice that enables you to make use of anything that’s going on in your life as part of your training, as part of becoming a better person.”
