You could give The Happiness Project some stiff competition : )<br /><br />In light of your thoughts, take a look at this TED Talk by Brene Brown which is basically 20 minutes of explaining what you said:<br /><br />http://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.htmlNonanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921334430394494911.post-62247551880499656802011-02-07T23:42:41.136+08:002011-02-07T23:42:41.136+08:00This really speaks to me, Nona: "To become a ...This really speaks to me, Nona: "To become a Bodhisattva is to be fearless. There is no aversion for those who are hostile and there is no obsessive clinging to those who are closest to us. There is no possessiveness, only love, compassion and discernment into the nature of reality." <br /><br />I have been thinking a lot about this recently and have come out with two kinda killer thoughts:<br />1) It is in our humanity and indeed our imperfections that we can find our own divinity - so that the closer we get to our humanity, the closer we get to our positive core<br />2) Any faith practice that encourages people towards bigotry, excluding others, holding oneself up on a pedestal and in better stead...they give Jesus a bad name <br /><br />I grew up in a Catholic society and the Jesus I came to know was above all things compassionate and progressive. He chose to hang with the rejects, he rejected bigotry. And when he got pissed off, he flipped tables. Does it get any more human than that?!<br /><br />With an open heart, I wish you back Happy Bodhisattva :)An Accidental Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892157971712715456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921334430394494911.post-53202712934831117242011-02-07T20:40:25.837+08:002011-02-07T20:40:25.837+08:00Hello Cely : ) Eating a Green Tea Kit Kat for you!...Hello Cely : ) Eating a Green Tea Kit Kat for you!
