Editors’ Note

Hello readers,

In this edition of the T.A. News Journal, we have a variety of articles to interest you, as well as some exciting news about upcoming events, changes, and opportunities in the ever-evolving present moment.

First, we decided for the feature article to give our readers a broader view of HÜMÜH Buddhism. We discuss how Buddhism historically came about, while showing the thread of the primordial Teachings that HÜMÜH extracted and incorporated to make for a pristine living path to awakening. In addition, there is a general letter on the invaluable practice of Living Meditation as a means to view the light of divinity in all life.

Our ‘Spiritual Practice’ column is a good companion article to our main feature. It explains that in order to live spiritually, fully in the present moment, our every action must be purposeful. If we ‘tune out’ and just go through the motions, we can become subservient to living life as a series of empty rituals that can make us feel stuck.

The ‘Relationships’ column addresses the value of being impeccable in how we relate to others in order to bring happiness and clarity to our lives.

In our ‘Health’ column, Dr. Clibon addresses the spiritual principle of balance relative to our health, through learning how to keep our bodies in equanimity with pH balance.

Also, be sure to checkout the ‘Movies to Learn From’ and ‘Experience’ articles. Along with our movie review, we suggest other highly recommended films with valuable lessons. The personal experience story also shares insight from someone who learns about letting go as a means to have a more open heart.

In other news, HÜMÜH is expanding its presence south of the border in Oroville, Washington, with the new HÜMÜH Meditation Center to help people learn more about bringing the light of divinity into their lives.

As for the Journal itself, there are a couple new additions, too. There is now a Letters to the Editors section which we encourage readers to make use of to give us feedback about the Journal. And, for people who would like to share Journal articles they found thought-provoking, there is now an online version of the T.A. News Journal, www.humuhbuddhistjournal.org, which will have all of the articles archived. Enjoy.
