Carefree Dignity = Tsoknyi Rinpoche
"Sometime go outside and sit,
In the evening at sunset,
When there’s a slight breeze that touches your body,
And makes the leaves and the trees move gently.
You’re not trying to do anything, really.
You’re simply allowing yourself to be,
Very open from deep within,
Without holding onto anything whatsoever.
Don’t bring something back from the past, from a memory.
Don’t plan that something should happen.
Don’t hold onto anything in the present.
Nothing you perceive needs to be nailed down.
Simply let experience take place, very freely,
So that your empty, open heart
Is suffused with the tenderness of true compassion."
- Tsoknyi Rinpoche, in Carefree Dignity http://www.pundarika.org/teachings_mind.html

I was fortunate to attend Resilient People + Climate Change Conference Fostering Psychosocial Resilience Among Human Populations via Storytelling, Narrative, and Organizational Preparednes conference in Vancouver, B.C. It was an inspiring, deeply moving glimpse of the magnitude of work before us to help people develop resilience in the face of great changes taking place now - and in the future in our world due to climate change. As some of the presentations and notes are available I will post them.
