• The Fool and Old Age

  By Gil Fronsdal| Tricycle Buddhist Magazine Verified The FoolNight is long for one lying awake. Seven miles is long for one exhausted. Samsara is long for fools          Ignorant of true Dharma. If, while on your way,          You meet no one your equal or better,Steadily continue on your way alone.           There is no fellowship with fools. A fool suffers, thinking,          “I have children! I have wealth!”One’s self is not even one’s own.           How then are children? How then is wealth?

• A Satisfying State of Happiness

  By Gil Fronsdal| Tricycle Buddhist Magazine Verified My body was tranquil and undisturbed, my mind concentrated and unified. —The Buddha MN 4.22 (i 21)Tranquility is both a gift of meditation practice and a support for deepening the practice. As a gift, it can be healing and confidence-producing. As a support, it provides a sense of well-being that nourishes concentration and mental harmony. Meditative tranquility is a compelling state that can involve feelings of peace, calm, serenity, contentment, and deep rest.
