2 choices….
Posted by: | CommentsEach moment we are faced with 2 basic choices… the road of ignorance or the road of wisdom. One direction leads to suffering & one direction leads to liberation. No matter how isolated we think our actions are, life is continually telling us otherwise & when we apply mindfulness we see that all our lives are interconnected. This means our actions effect each-other. So for the sake of all of us, watch where you step my friends… my heart is with you!
These Dark & Hungry Streets
Posted by: | CommentsTruth is, if I put my energy solely into one thing I would likely be rich by now
or maybe I would have something shiny I could point at
to validate my existence in accordance with this society I inhabit.
But like the sun I can not only shine one direction.
Look at all the miserable people…
& so day & night where do you remain?
Have you not noticed, truth can not be contrived?
& so I simply keep my window open.
We all make our choices friend!
Would I dare sacrifice one ray of light for a lifetime of dark & hungry self-gain?

These Dark & Hungry Streets – By Fugon
Prayer of Liberated Union
Posted by: | CommentsPrayer of Liberated Union
~/!\~
May we all grow with bottomless compassion*
I reach inside to I speak with the voice of total unity.
Today is a new day – alive & completely free.
Open up & answer your own suffering.
See that you are the revolution.
You are the cosmos & the grain of sand.
A new day on the horizon.
May we be kind to all living beings.
Now & forevermore,
May this simple smile ring through eternity,
to heal our beloved World.
May we all see clearly.
May our hearts & minds be liberated.
~/!\~
To you I bow
with the endless tear of Quan Yin
flowing forth from the unborn eye of Bodhidharma..
& to you who touch these words,
I bow one final time
never to rise again.
~Fugon~

Chicago MedMob: December 9th Meditation Flash Mob
Posted by: | CommentsINNER-PEACE IS THE DOORWAY TO OUTER-PEACE
COME SIT WITH US
Chicago Med Mob December 9th
Let’s sit on the concourse level of the JR Thompson Center. There are tables, chairs and even a waterfall.
Bring yourself, a cushion, and an open mind. We will quietly meditate for 30 minutes, then chant one continuous sound for 10-15 minutes (read below).
This event is indoors. We will ring bells at 5:30PM to start meditation, again at 6PM to end meditation and to begin continuous sound, and a third time to end the event.
We invite you to join us for all of it, part of it, or come to hang out and bask in the peace. We invite you to come with your own deepest intention for yourself, your community, & our planet. There are plenty of chairs to sit on in case sitting on the ground is difficult for you.
The meditation is a simple, 30 minute, silent meditation followed by a “Sound Bath.” Feel free to say Om, Ong, God, Allah, Ma, Yeah, or any other sound or mantra that resonates deeply within yourself. This part of the MedMob is super fun, impactful, and sounds amazing!
MedMob is a Global Flash Mob Mediation Movement unifying to expand positivity to every walk of life. Every meditator comes with their own deepest intention for themselves, their community, and the world.
MedMobs happen in highly visible places with the intention of exposing and inviting the world to the benefits of meditation and collective prayer. The collective unification of intent and prayer has been proven by numerous studies to increase personal health and lower crime in big cities.
