On Being with Krista Tippett

NOTE

Exploring Ardor, Remembering, and Intention in Buddhism

In Buddhism, two useful words are ardor and remembering. Ardor replaces effort and emphasizes passion. Remembering is the key to maintaining aspirations. Without ardor and remembering, even the most sincere aspirations are empty. The civil rights elders emphasized the importance of remembering. They likened it to constantly re-situating and re-orienting ourselves. Thomas Merton also explored intention in spirituality, particularly non-attachment to results. The focus is on pure intention, getting our intentions straight without attaching them to specific goals. We should approach our intentions lightly and take action accordingly.
