APPAMADA

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes for my precepts ceremony tonight. The "script" is quite daunting - I wish I had been able to join everyone else last fall but my son was sick. So I will go it alone (repeating "Yes, I will" 3 times!) - but not really alone since you will all be there in one fashion or another.

Namaste,
Robin

I'm glad you finally got to do your precepts ceremony. We missed you when we took precepts as a group. What a different kind of experience it was for you to be saying the vows in your own ceremony!



Appamada is not just the occasional mindful thought or attentive state of mind, it’s actually a commitment to being attentive. It’s more than just a meditative state of mind, it’s more than just being mindful. It has to do with that primary ethical or moral orientation we have in life, with which we bring into being whatever activity we’re engaged in. Whether in formal meditation, in our interactions with other people, in our social concerns, or in our political choices, it’s the energetic cherishing of what we regard as good.
