Isn't it what this is all about? Envy is so wrapped into delusion. Illusions of separateness, illusion of a solid self, illusions or permanency . . . A very rich emotion, that is teaching you and I both, a lot about the Dharma!<br /><br />I wish you to continue to practice well.<br /><br />With loving kindness.<br /><br />margueriteMarguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-19297808740816413932011-10-20T05:27:21.968-07:002011-10-20T05:27:21.968-07:00Struggling with it as we speak...

I'm a little envious for example, of this wonderful, thought provoking blog and I have my coterie of mindfulness based teachers that I enjoy reading, listening to and to whom I aspire, want to learn from. But truth be told I'm also, in my darker moments, a little envious of their achievements and presence in the world.<br /><br />I work with it, try to hold it lightly, notice the felt sense of its expression in my body and say to myself gently....yoo hoo I see you oh envy of mine! And when I can see it, I am aware of it and when I'm aware of it, I can work with it, learn from it, accept it, not constrict around it. And it is this noticing which is the moment of mindfulness, that brings my envy out into the light, taking away its power. <br /><br />Thank you for your post Margueritejameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610297708832206509noreply@blogger.com
