Practice: A Day of Silence

Occasional periods of silence are recommended by every wisdom tradition. Modern life (and prison life) can be extremely noisy, and this constant noise can keep us from experiencing life as honestly or clearly as we may like. Sita and I have found great value in many periods of silence. For several years, each of us [...]

Practice: A Few Seconds a Day

Here’s an almost effortless practice that will definitely change your life for the better if you are willing to commit just ten to twenty seconds a day to it. But first, a little background about how the brain works.
In his book Addiction and Grace, Dr. Gerald May discusses how the human brain works and he [...]

Do We Settle For Too Little?

Transcribed from a sermon Bo preached at the Ainsworth United Church of Christ in Portland, Oregon.
When I was younger and I heard the passage from St. Paul, “Man hath no greater love than this, to give his life to his fellow man,” I used to think laying down your life for your fellow man meant [...]

Practice: Real Bible Study

There’s an old Native American saying that I quoted in We’re All Doing Time:
If you seek to understand the whole Universe, you will understand nothing. If you seek to understand yourself, you will understand the whole Universe.
This principle applies in a related way to Bible study and the study of any religious principles. If we [...]

Going Deeper

Transcribed from a sermon Bo gave at Unity of the Triangle Church in Raleigh, NC.
When I teach meditation, I’m a stickler for keeping the body still. In the Old Testament there is a curious passage that says, “Be still and know that I am God.” Isn’t that curious? Be still, not “be righteous,” not “be [...]

Practice: Make Yourself at Home

This idea of being at home wherever we are, like virtually every other part of our spiritual journey, has a lot to do with faith. It’s easy to say “I’m a person of faith.” But what does it mean to us in a practical way? How does it affect our experiences and our state of [...]

Living In Peace

Dear Family,
In the ancient Hindu epic The Ramayana, there’s a passage where Rama, a young prince who is actually God born as a human being, is supposed to be made King the next day, and his people are the happiest people in the world because they love him so much. There’s a classic line in this part of the story that [...]

Practice: Taking Mindfulness to a New Level

“Mindfulness” is a word that is seen and heard more and more often these days, and the simplest definition is usually that mindfulness means to pay attention to what you are doing at the moment; do one thing at a time, and do it well. This is true, but our practice of mindfulness often stays at a pretty [...]

Maybe It’s Okay to Feel Blue

Dear Family,
A friend wrote recently that she was in a deep funk and feeling low. I was about to reply with an encouragement for her to realize that these are hard times for most of us on Planet Earth, and it is understandable that she will feel her own share of these hard times, and [...]

Life is Good

Transcribed & edited from a talk given by Bo Lozoff in Costa Mesa CA, in March, 2006
I hope that every time we have a meeting like this, we change ourselves – not just learn more about some subject like prisons. I’m hoping to be a deeper, more inspired and committed person when I leave the room tonight, and I [...]
