What does a bodhisattva do for a living?

For Vee, that doesn’t mean fluffy or passive love. It means trained, skillful love. Love with discernment. Love that can say: this harm stops here.

Victoria "Vee" Wikler joined David Nichtern on the Creativity, Spirituality & Making a Buck podcast with Noel Coakley to talk about Noel’s new book, Wake Up, Sleepy Buddha. Noel wrote the book as an accessible introduction to Buddhist teachings and practice; Vee came into the project as the illustrator, bringing her own background as an artist, tattooer, and meditation teacher to the visual language of the book.

Wake Up, Sleepy Buddha is out this fall.

@david_nichtern, @raghujoel , and @sharonsalzberg consider how devotion, meditation, truth, and compassion can tend the love already within us, bringing it into the way we meet ourselves, others, and the world.

Listen to 🎧 Mindrolling with Raghu Markus – Ep. 663 –Cultivating Love and Awareness with David Nichtern & Sharon Salzberg 🎧 on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast app

“You’re lucky enough to have objects of refuge that are somebody you admire or respect, who has accomplished a great deal. You invite that energy into your ecosystem, and when your mind wanders, your heart reconnects you to the object of the refuge. That brings you back together with the awareness and sense of connection.” – David Nichtern

What can Dolly Parton teach us about the bodhisattva path? Maybe more than you’d expect.

In this week’s Food for Non-Thought newsletter, René Fay reflects on Dolly’s way of moving through the world: generosity without fanfare, standing for what she believed was right without stripping others of their humanity, and the willingness to acknowledge missteps and change.

Not perfection. Practice. 💎

What’s happening in the mind has a way of showing up everywhere else.

Next week, join David Nichtern and Andrew Holecek for Light & Shadow on the Spiritual Path, a free online conversation about what happens when we stop chasing only the “light” and learn to meet the parts of ourselves we’d rather avoid.

Wednesday, September 16. Free to attend. Register at the link in bio. by @dharmamoonofficial

Sometimes the beginning of a path doesn’t look like a beginning at all.

Samuel Bercholz remembers being handed a copy of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s Meditation in Action—one of those moments David describes in Creativity, Spirituality & Making a Buck as a tendrel: an auspicious connection, a seemingly small event that becomes part of a much larger unfolding.

For Sam, that book opened a door into a lifetime of dharma, a relationship with Trungpa Rinpoche, and eventually the founding of Shambhala Publications.

In the new episode of the CSM Podcast, David and Sam talk about those early encounters, the unpredictable nature of Trungpa Rinpoche, the Buddhist path, and what it means to live a life that is simply “dharmic and decent.”

A good one for the weekend: Joseph Goldstein on the simple practice of remembering: “Thank you for the blessings of my life.”

Not because there aren’t things to worry about or take care of this weekend, but because we don’t have to collapse into them.

Gratitude can change the whole texture of a moment.

A mirror doesn’t hold onto what it reflects.

But we do. We replay criticism, hang onto the compliment, rehearse tomorrow’s conversation and revisit yesterday’s—often without realizing how caught up we’ve become.

In this week’s Food for Non-Thought newsletter, Noel Coakley explores an enduring Buddhist metaphor: awareness as a mirror, and what it can teach us about relating differently to our thoughts.

Read The Mirror Doesn’t Judge in this week’s newsletter. 🪞
