Dharma Message August 2018
"Thoughts are the play of pure awareness. They arise within it and dissolve back into it. To recognize pure awareness as where your thoughts come from is to recognize that your thoughts have never come into existence, remained or ceased. At that point, thoughts can no longer trouble your mind. When you run after your thoughts you are like a dog chasing a stick, every time the stick is thrown you after it. But if, instead, you look at where your thoughts are coming from, you will see that each thought arises and dissolves within the space of that awareness, without engendering other thoughts. Be like a lion, who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once." -- Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Excerpted from His Commentary on Padampa Sangye's Hundred Verses of Advice included in Collected Works of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Vol. II (2010). San Francisco Theosophical Society Lodge, August 2018.

Lodge Caravan Event: COMPASSIONS, An MPOWERANCE Performance (7/22/18)
On rare occasions, the San Francisco Lodge of the Theosophical Society declares a Lodge Caravan Night and forgoes our regular venue to gather in support of some important event in the arts, science and humanities. And so, on Friday June 22nd, 2018, the SFTS Lodge Caravan will journey to NOHspace Theatre, 2840 Mariposa St. in San Francisco to attend “COMPASSIONS” an MPOWERDANCE performance. Tickets are available via Eventbrite (see the link below).
Join us! Here are the details –
COMPASSIONS
The heart must dare to be bold.
Guest Artists and collaborators include dance by Elaine Santos, masks by Bart Frescura, and Richard Power reading from his latest book, “I the Dragon.”
Showtimes: 7-8:30 pm Fri., Sat., Sun. (June 22, 23, 24)
“All these moments and actions have
their inner justification. Taken as a whole they reflect the feelings,
the passion, or the state which we describe by the use of the one word
love…Every passion is a complex of things experienced emotionally, it’s
the sum total of a variety of different feelings, experiences, states.
All these component parts are not only numerous and varied but they are
also often contradictory. In love there is often hatred and scorn, and
admiration, and indifference, and ecstasy, and prostration, and
embarrassment, and brazenness, [addiction and betrayal].” — An Actor’s Handbook by Constantin Stanislavski
