In this age of the COVID-19 pandemic, how do we overcome our fear of death, illness, and discomfort, while still taking appropriate precautions to safeguard our community, family, and ourselves? In this video, talk, and article, which is a part of our Wisdom of Peace Pilgrim training series, we explore how the path of love can help us overcome our fears.
How can we relate skillfully to problems so they don’t cause us to become fearful, angry, or overwhelmed? How can take advantage of our problems to nurture our mindful and loving heart? Explore these answers in the video, talk, and article Reframing ProblemsI, which is part of our Wisdom of Peace Pilgrim Training series.
As a nonsectarian organization, the Boundless Love Project generally avoids God-talk. We recognize that many people have been traumatized and persecuted by religious wisdom traditions, and to make our trainings inclusive, we keep them secular and nonsectarian. But in this post, we strike new ground by sharing with you what nonsectarian wisdom teacher Peace Pilgrim thinks about her direct understanding of God. We hope that both our theist supporters and atheist members find the talk relevant, useful, and inspiring.
Learn about the incredibly courageous and wise wisdom teacher Peace Pilgrim. She was an extraordinary woman who was healthy, vigorous, and joyful as she walked penniless for 28 years. She owned nothing but a few simple items which she carried with her. She walked until given shelter, and fasted until given food. And she received these things without asking for them. She did all this so she could share her message of peace with others, which she summarized like this: “This is the way of peace: overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love.”
Enjoy a loving-kindness meditation and then hear a talk about the mental state of judgment, which is the source of all anger, hatred, and violence. When we understand how judgment is impersonal and false, we can stop being the victim of our judgmental mind, and experience more freedom, peace, love, and joy in all of our relationships.
Learn how to recognize the inherent worth and value of all life and treat both friend and foe with courtesy, dignity, and respect. We investigate the old saying: "the suffering masses reject what they see and believe what they think, while wise people reject what they think and believe what they see." Using a smart phone camera, we explore relating to our world non-conceptually and explain how this view allows our unconditional love to flourish.
