Mind / Body / Spirit

Great slogan, but badly overused, misused, and misunderstood.

Each component must be individually balanced.

A balanced mind is more than watching tv.

A balanced body requires effort to attain and more effort to maintain.

A balanced spirit is impossible without a balanced body + balanced mind first.

You tell me. Who do you know who has a balanced mind / body / spirit?

A balanced mind / body / spirit is called a Bodhisattva or Buddha in Buddhism.

A balanced mind / body / spirit is called a Saint in the Catholic religion.

A balanced mind / body / spirit is called a Wonderful Kid by parents.

A balanced mind / body / spirit is NOT on job resumes.

A balanced mind / body / spirit is NOT what they teach in school.

So how is it done?

It's a big topic, and I'll share what I know.

I'm planning to do podcasts from both our Shaolin Records recording studio and also from classes or Sangha meetings. I'm looking forward to it.
