I love how wet surfaces in the rain become shifting canvases painted by car and street lights.

nashvillebuddhist asked: I had been a Christian for most of my life. After studying Buddhism, practicing it alongside my Christianity, and feeling spiritually unfulfilled in my Christianity, I have made the leep into unlearning my former way of life. I meditate daily, have read and studied Buddhism, and found a great Buddhist study group. My question to you is, what do I do now, and do I really even need to become an...
sweetddisposition asked: I know you smoke, so I was wondering if I could get your opinion. I smoked habitually for about a year and it had the same effects on me as it normally does for anyone else. Once I started really cracking down with my spiritual path however, the effects reversed. It made me anxious, paranoid, depressed, stressed, pretty much all the things I wanted to avoid. I was wondering if you knew why that...

Exploring Tibetan Buddhism and the Bodhisattva...
When it comes to learning to practice ways of compassionate love, no tradition exceeds tibetan buddhism in providing technology. Tibetan buddhism aims for enlightenment like any other spiritual path but the reason for the aim is different.
Many paths are profound and intimate, a love affair and intellectual relationship between a seeker and the divine. The tibetan buddhist path, however, seeks...

bodhigita:
People who love you
the way they love themselves.
People who know
they are not really people.
Been receiving odd pangs of hate from people, most of them absolute strangers. It’s funny how hate starts trending when I decide to start up tibetan buddhist compassion meditations.
haha I guess I hit a nerve?

louiselweasell asked: Lately, almost every time I'm in a natural setting, the strangest things happen. Trees and structures are constantly expanding and contracting, colors have bursts of being extra vivid, and I feel like I can feel and see things with extra dimension. Almost like being on psychedelics. No one can provide me a sufficient reason, I really feel like there is a deeper, spiritual reasoning for this....

Emerging from False Refuge
In tibetan buddhism, renunciation is best translated as “emergence from false refuge”. Now as you may know, when you commit to buddhism you also commit to taking refuge in The Three Treasures: the Buddha, the Dharma, the Sangha.
So what does it mean to take refuge in anything? What does emergence mean?
Life has many demands, many trials, and many issues. Refuge is where we go to relax, be...

zootmonkey asked: elaborate on views on the Bible?
dreaminglucid asked: Namaste :) I have been having a whole lot of trouble with my Ego. It seems that after a period of great meditation, where I can accept everything going on, let go, and be in this peaceful awareness; my Ego decides to almost.. fight back. If that makes sense? For some reason when I stay in love, fear tries to test how strong my love really is. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say....

Namaste
Many of you have heard me say it and many have said it themselves. “Namaste” is a customary greeting in India. It is an intimate way of greeting another person without actually touching them. But it has a deep esoteric meaning.
As it was explained to me by another tantric yogi, namaste means “I recognize the divinity within you and allow you to manifest it.” In this light, when we say namaste...

nevernear asked: Hello Lazy Yogi, thank you for running this blog. I want to ask you: do you have a job? How does one keep mindfullness in an everyday work routine? I sometimes think that living a life of awareness and mindfullness would be much more possible if I didn't have to spend so much time at work.
