साथीले सोध्नुभयो ; के छ नयाँ नौलो ? मैले भनेँ - आजको दिन नै नयाँ छ । आजको दिन नै नौलो छ । यो दिन नत पहिले आएको थियो , न त पछी आउने छ । डा . दोस्ती रेग्मी
कविता र जिन्दगी । साथीले भन्यो - पहिले उपान्यास लेख्यौ, अहिले कविता लेख्न थालेछौ । मैले भनेँ - उपन्यास ब्यायम हो ; कविता ध्यान हो । उसले भन्यो - कविता छोटो र गहिरो हुन्छ । मैले भनेँ - जिन्दगी पनि छोटो र गहिरो हुन्छ । डा. दोस्ती रेग्मी (Painting : The wanderer above the sea of fogs by Caspar David Friedrich)
The Heart Sutra is very popular among Buddhists both for its brevity and depth of meaning. With 14 Sanskrit verses ( slokas), it is the most highly abbreviated version of the Perfection of Wisdom (prajna-paramita) texts. Here is its Sanskrit text and the English translation by Edward Conze. Sunyata is often misunderstood. Someone came to Bodhidharma and said he knows Buddhism. Bodhidharma asks, so what is it. "Sunyata" he answers. Bodhidharma gives him a punch in his face. Then he cries in pain. "If it is all sunyata then why are you crying?" Our self and senses and opinions are real but they are not really real. We are not a soul or stardust. We are a river. A flux. No true essence. Just a composite of many things and interrelated with many things. Who we are and what we think and feel is determined by a thousand other things and we think that it is our original true thought. Buddhism is like the deconstruction of the soul concept of the Advaita Vedanta. ...
“The You you don’t know: Covert influences on your behavior” by Webster Riggs, Jr., MD Today I saw this young lady in my radiology suite. She looked beautiful, calm and resilient. Yet it juxtaposed with the fact that she was there for Barium swallow study for strictures she had in her esophagus due to ingestion of lye in an attempt to suicide. She had a tattoo itched in her skin in her arm reading "perfectly imperfect". It was a poignant reminder that even the most seemingly resilient individuals could be battling inner turmoil. I started musing on the paradox of her tattoo. What determines perfect and imperfect? What determines what we think and do? Are we really in control of what we think and feel and do or are there covert influences that we are not even aware of. Keats wrote, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all”. Hindus have this satyam-shivam-sundaram , which means truth is beautiful and beneficial. We accept this because it’s pleasant or have we really ...
हिजोको रक्सी आज तिम्रो औंलामा काँपिरहेछ; के भुल गर्यौ जसले तिमीलाई मन्दिर कुदाइरहेछ। के कोर्न सक्थ्यौ सलाइँको काँटी; हिजोको झरीले तिम्रो दियो निभाइसकेछ। - डा. दोस्ती रेग्मी । (Painting: " Drunk on love" by Alica Ciuciu)
Takeaways from Focusing by Eugene Gendlin Felt Sense The term was popularized by Eugene Gendlin (in Focusing, 1978). It refers to a vague, bodily awareness of a situation or meaning — before it is verbalized or clearly conceptualized. It’s nonverbal knowing, a sense that something is there, meaningful, but not yet defined. “A felt sense is not an emotion, but the unclear, preconceptual body sense of a whole situation.” — Eugene Gendlin The tight heaviness in the chest when something feels off, even before you know why. A warm openness in the belly when something feels right or true. A bodily intuition, a “rightness” or “wrongness” of direction, without mental reasoning. In meditation, this is the intuitive texture of awareness felt through the body, not yet named or interpreted. Perceived Sense: Refers to sensory or cognitive perception — seeing, hearing, touching, or thinking about an experience as an object. It is what the mind recognizes through the sense organs and labels. It...
