Re: im pretty embarrassing, i just wanna die [ on shame]

teal mentioned that shame is the worst thing for our 3d self to face and we avoid it at all costs. but i have researched many saints in buddhizm and early christianity that have become saints transcending shame - they were challenging human perspectives on honor and truthfulness anyw ay imaginable - thus the term holly folly and fool for christ's sake, much like the film crazy wisdom about techers who act nto according to expectations; another term worth reserachign is heyouka;Edit or delete this

spitiruality is a dangerous thing to practice though, especially when you go into those transcendent states of consiousness. so i would advise you take care of your ego and not go too far in naything you decide to believe and do for yourself. for me, i like ikkyu sojun as an example of holy madness - he says stuff like 'mantras and sutras - taht is crap; get laid, that is real wisdom'and he is known to have had multiple encounters with prostitutes in japan, btu he was and still remains a prominent biddhist monkEdit or delete this

what i could advise you form painful experience in tthat regard is that ego in truth could be our ally at leats in the world we ra eliving in today; dont abuse it. if it doesnt want to be shamed for everything you could shame it for, take pride in its perspecive instead, and honor it. it will repay you immenselyEdit or delete this Aliénor d'Aquitaine so spirituality and normalcy/adequate perceprion of self dont fight each other but go hand in had, ask the buddha himselfEdit or delete this

if we are responsible for life, we would explore our boundaries fo both self love and self hate to come to peace with both of them,. and, in essence, become enlightened enough to lead ;the middle path/way'that the biddha has taught about and teal talks about in one fo her videos in depthEdit or delete this

best luck in your exploration of shame and the actual dimensions of your true worth! :)

Right Speech by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

As my teacher once said, "If you can't control your mouth, there's no way you can hope to control your mind.' This is why right speech is so important in day-to-day practice.

Right speech, explained in negative terms, means avoiding four types of harmful speech: lies (words spoken with the intent of misrepresenting the truth); divisive speech (spoken with the intent of creating rifts between people); harsh speech (spoken with the intent of hurting another person's feelings); and idle chatter (spoken with no purposeful intent at all).

Notice the focus on intent: this is where the practice of right speech intersects with the training of the mind. Before you speak, you focus on why you want to speak. This helps get you in touch with all the machinations taking place in the committee of voices running your mind. If you see any unskillful motives lurking behind the committee's decisions, you veto them. As a result, you become more aware of yourself, more honest with yourself, more firm with yourself. You also save yourself from saying things that you'll later regret. In this way you strengthen qualities of mind that will be helpful in meditation, at the same time avoiding any potentially painful memories that would get in the way of being attentive to the present moment when the time comes to meditate.

In positive terms, right speech means speaking in ways that are trustworthy, harmonious, comforting, and worth taking to heart. When you make a practice of these positive forms of right speech, your words become a gift to others. In response, other people will start listening more to what you say, and will be more likely to respond in kind. This gives you a sense of the power of your actions: the way you act in the present moment does shape the world of your experience. You don't need to be a victim of past events.

For many of us, the most difficult part of practicing right speech lies in how we express our sense of humor. Especially here in America, we're used to getting laughs with exaggeration, sarcasm, group stereotypes, and pure silliness — all classic examples of wrong speech. If people get used to these sorts of careless humor, they stop listening carefully to what we say. In this way, we cheapen our own discourse. Actually, there's enough irony in the state of the world that we don't need to exaggerate or be sarcastic. The greatest humorists are the ones who simply make us look directly at the way things are.

Expressing our humor in ways that are truthful, useful, and wise may require thought and effort, but when we master this sort of wit we find that the effort is well spent. We've sharpened our own minds and have improved our verbal environment. In this way, even our jokes become part of our practice: an opportunity to develop positive qualities of mind and to offer something of intelligent value to the people around us.

So pay close attention to what you say — and to why you say it. When you do, you'll discover that an open mouth doesn't have to be a mistake.

If you have an extra day when you visit around kyoto in late fall, it would be worth visiting Ankoku temple in the north of Hyogo prefecture.

The temple is small and there is nothing else to watch, but the beauty of azalea is just as if you would see a painting of some impressionist. So it wouldn't let you down.
