PRACTICE BETTER THINKING Along with being a positive thinker, try being a better thinker. After all, the Buddha famously said: “Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.” If you’re struggling, try to re-program your thinking. Buddhist monk Ajahn Brahm, who was born in England and embraced Buddhism as a youth, provides an example of how to do this. When Brahm was a novice monk in Thailand, he and a group of monks were assigned to move a huge mound of earth (left over from a construction project) to a less visible area on the monastery grounds. For three days they worked in the Thai heat, from 10 am until after sunset, using only shovels and wheelbarrows to complete the task. At some point during those three days, the Abbot was called away from the monastery. When the job was finished the deputy gathered the crew of monks, telling them they had moved the earth to the wrong place. Annoyed but obedient, Brahm and the others labored for another three days in the tropical heat to move the mound for a second time. When the abbot returned, he called Brahm and the crew together and demanded to know why the pile of earth was in the wrong location. He ordered them to move it yet again. Brahm recalls being livid and swearing in English. As he cursed and pushed the wheelbarrow, another monk, sensing his anger
and frustration, spoke to him in his limited English, saying: “Pushing a wheelbarrow isn’t hard; how you think about it makes it hard.” That comment resonated with Brahm and empowered him to think better. With the mind shift, even the wheelbarrow load suddenly felt lighter and he felt freer. Apply this wisdom to any struggles you’re experiencing. Here are some examples: Being unemployed isn’t hard; how I think about it makes it hard. Being divorced isn’t hard; how I think about it makes it hard. Being sick isn’t hard; how I think about it makes it hard. Being gossiped about isn’t hard; how I think about it makes it hard. Defuse Anger Sadly, being controlled by anger increases and deepens suffering. To those who recommend “getting the anger out,” Psychology Today Editor at Large Hara Estroff Marano urges caution and reconsideration: “Anger doesn’t automatically dissipate by being unleashed. We rarely experience catharsis. Venting it in words or action doesn’t make anger easier to manage; often it only increases the intensity of the feeling. Anger often feeds on itself. Plus, by furthering aggression it often brings irreversible damage to those in the immediate vicinity.” According to the Dalai Lama, anger is self-sabotaging. When asked if he is “angry” at China for invading Tibet and causing

unimaginable suffering upon the Tibetan people, he responds this way: “If I were to develop feelings of vindictiveness, anger, or hatred towards the Chinese, who would be the loser? I would, because I would thereby lose my peace of mind, my sleep, and my appetite. At the same time, my bitterness would not affect the Chinese in the least. If I became extremely upset, that would also prevent me from making those around me happy.” Be like the Dalai Lama—when anger emerges, immediately apply its antidotes: patience, tolerance, compassion, and forgiveness. Accelerate Impermanence The Buddha introduced a simple but powerful concept called “impermanence.” It refers to the reality that nothing in life is firm and locked in place but is constantly changing and shifting. Impermanence is a simple liberation teaching that empowers us to cut through the feeling that any challenging circumstance is permanent. Vietnamese Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh realized this. During the darkest days of the Vietnam War, a group of young people came to him, asking: “Do you have any hope that the war will end soon?” “At that point, I could not see any sign of the war ending,” Nhat Hanh recalls with remarkable candor. “But I did not want either of them or myself to drown in an ocean of despair.” He remained silent for some time before responding: “The Buddha said that everything is impermanent. The war has to end one day. The question is, what can we do to accelerate the impermanence?” Apply Buddhist impermanence to your life anytime you are suffering. Gently but firmly remind yourself that the situation will inevitably change, that the way you currently feel is not how you will feel in a few weeks or months. Add to that your own creative intelligence by reviewing all possible steps you could take to take to shift and shape the event toward a more positive direction. Shift From The Negative To The Positive “Choose to be optimistic, it feels better,” is the straightforward but profound advice from the Dalai Lama. Much of the suffering we experience is the result of our own negative thinking. The fact is that maintaining a positive frame of mind reduces anxiety and suffering while raising happiness and joy. And, it’s surprisingly easy to retrain a mind which is habitually negative. The ancient yogic sage Patanjali makes this suggestion: “When presented with negative, E X C L U S I V E LY Y O U R S
disquieting thoughts or feelings, cultivate an opposite, elevated attitude.” An almost identical approach is offered by twentieth-century writer Norman Vincent Peale (The Power Of Positive Thinking). Whenever a negative thought comes to mind, he writes, “deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.” Cultivate Gratitude Suffering can be significantly reduced and downsized through gratitude. This is what guides Buddhist nun and author Pema Chodron. In her eighth decade, she candidly admits that aging has prompted her to complain, from time to time, about her appearance and aches. However, she quickly shifts from what’s wrong to what’s right. In her case, the ability to go for long walks while in her eighties is a source of gratitude. “My older sister, who used to be a big hiker, has arthritic feet and can no longer walk far,” she explains, adding that “her arthritis makes me realize, every time I go for a walk, how grateful I am for my legs and feet and hips. How wonderful that they all work, and I can be refreshed and invigorated by my walks, rather than end up in so much pain that I don’t want to do it anymore.” Drop Perfectionism And Pessimism A common teaching image used to establish whether one is a negative or positive thinker involves a sheet of paper with one small black dot on it. When people are asked what they see, the majority point to the dot—the flaw— rather than seeing a blank sheet of paper. This reveals that people tend to focus on imperfections and issues. If you’re a perfectionist, a pessimist, or both, the result is more anguish and suffering. An example of this everyday issue emerges in the life of actor Kirk Douglas. Early in his career when he was unknown and performing in plays, a New York Times theater critic wrote this review of his performance in The Wind is Ninety: “Kirk Douglas is nothing short of superb.” Obviously, it was a glowing endorsement of his acting skill. Yet, as Douglas told it, as he lay in bed that evening, he was repeatedly saying to himself one word from the review: “Nothing…nothing,” and thought, “why couldn’t they just say ‘Kirk Douglas is superb’?” When you are struggling, try applying this seventh-century Indian Buddhist proverb to your life: “Look carefully at suffering itself to see whether it can be corrected or not. If it can be corrected, put all your effort into correcting it. If there’s nothing to be done about it, why be unhappy? The unhappiness only adds more suffering to the suffering.” n NOVEMBER 2021

FOCUS ON GREENDALE An Historic Landmark Community n n n
NOVEMBER 2021
THE OUTLYING NEIGHBORHOODS of the City of Milwaukee are comprised of a wealth of diverse communities. With its interesting layout, cleverly named streets and handsome streetscaping, the Village of Greendale, Wisconsin, is no exception. Greendale is steeped in rich history and fascinating lore. Founded in 1938, Greendale is one of only three “Greenbelt Communities” in the U.S. built by the Franklin Roosevelt administration during the Depression. One of the main principles of a Greenbelt Community is walkable neighborhoods connecting residential areas with Village parks and the business district. Greendale’s “original” homes were part of this ambitious public housing project. The “originals,” built from concrete block, are unique to the community and were designed to look like an English garden village, hence Greendale’s nickname: the “garden community.” You might feel like you just stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting. In fact, the popular “Norman” sculpture that sits at the entrance to Broad Street and the vibrant downtown business district (across from Village Hall) is the Village’s official welcoming icon. Greendale’s Historic Downtown Business District is composed of more than two dozen independent, locally owned businesses that all support each other. Stroll through Broad Street and Parking Street and stop for a loaf of fresh bread, have lunch at one of Greendale’s popular restaurants, enjoy a glass of your favorite beverage at the wine bar, pick up
a homemade pizza from the famous Italian restaurant, take a yoga class, grab some homemade treats for your dog, and enjoy a scoop of delicious ice cream made in Madison, Wis. During the summer months, you will see more than 30,000 flowers in bloom along the downtown streets, in hanging baskets, in sidewalk beds and in storefront window boxes. Every season brings with it a fascinating lineup of special events: parades, car shows, farmers markets, concerts, garden walks, and holiday celebrations. Greendale also offers historic, garden and folk art chimney tours for the public. And the recent renovation of an “original” home by the Greendale Historical Society offers the chance to stay overnight and experience first-hand how folks used to live 80+ years ago. Today, the Village proudly embraces its history and maintains a close relationship with those who have committed to keeping the Greendale story alive for more than eight decades. A Welcome Center on Broad Street is maintained by the Village and Greendale Historical Society, and mostly staffed by volunteers. Inside you will find a wealth of historical information, plus a sampling of home furnishings from the 1930s, and a variety of literature that will provide in-depth coverage of this charming Village’s history. There is so much to see – and DO – in Greendale. Visit and step back in time, you are going to love this hidden gem of a community! n 25

GOD’S CORNER by Ger trude M. Puelicher n n n
THE MONTH of November brings to mind a day filled with human good—food, drink and Pro Football. Thousands look forward to it as a day to be savored, emotionally as well as gastronomically. Few are interested any longer in its origin. For those, however, who still believe in the importance of giving thanks, and who are concerned, perhaps, that Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday has lost the essence of its origin, a study of the word “fulness” as it is used in the Bible may prove helpful. For most of us, our cup is really full and running over; yet how often we resort to negativism. How often we speak in terms of limitation rather than in terms of fulness. The patriarchs of the Old Testament rarely permitted themselves to speak or think limitation. In Deuteronomy we read that Moses said to the Israelites, “and for the precious things of the Earth, and the fulness thereof,” and in First Chronicles, “Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the fields rejoice and all that is therein.” In Psalm 16 we find that inspiring verse, “Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy,” and the first verse of Psalm 24 literally lifts one’s spirits: “The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein.” There is no room in “fulness” for limitation of any kind, physical, mental, economic. We experience what we think. That is the reason it is important often to “think what we are thinking.” Might it not be wise for this month of November to think fulness of gratitude for all that is ours? Might we not do well to follow Paul’s advice to the Thessalonians, and “In everything give thanks.” n E X C L U S I V E LY Y O U R S
