A great ‘awareness’ reminder!
"Humbled at my recognition of the shallowness of awareness in my day-to-day life, I decided I needed help to ‘remember’. A Zen Master with a staff hovering over my head seemd perfect. And that’s how the idea for mySamasati was born. (Sammasati is a term that Buddha used to encourage his disciples to remember to be aware in their daily activities. Samasati means a balanced presence, a centered awareness) mySamasati.com is a web application that sends out an email everyday containing a simple awareness meditation and/or quote from Osho about awareness."
So writes Nando in his article in the latest Viha Connection. I had actually already subscribed (there is no cost involved unless you want to send a donation) and thoroughly enjoy getting my Osho quote each morning. A wonderful reminder!
The homepage of mySamasati.com contains today’s awareness experiment and to get your daily quote just log on to the subscription page and follow the instructions.
"Forgetfulness is the truth of man. That’s the only difference between him and the Awakened One – the Awakened One has remembered. Hence Gautam Buddha continually uses a word, sammasati. It means ‘right remembrance.’ If forgetfulness is your sin, then – right awareness – remembering is your virtue. And then the whole religion takes a new color – no hell, no paradise, no priests, but a simple understanding: what you have forgotten you can remember."
