Daily Dharma Practice

Buddhist Practice For American BuddhistsThis program is geared to American Buddhists. It is a non-sectarian program that can be used as part of your daily Buddhist practice.The goal of the Home Altar/Daily Gassho Program is to facilitate an everyday spiritual practice. It is useful because a support structure is needed in addition to books and talks.There are two steps in the home practice program. First—create a home altar Second—do a Daily Gassho for 21 days.To Create a Home AltarThe term “altar” may not be appropriate for our purposes. The word has different associations for different people. If the word “altar” is troublesome, the phrase “Special Place of Tranquillity” (SPOT) can be substituted. It should be noted that the word “Tranquillity” does not refer to just a quiet serenity, but involves a notion of “quiet power” or “Dynamic serenity.” In any case, your altar or SPOT is not a place where something is worshipped or prayed to in the usual sense of those words.Your SPOT does not need to have a fixed “religious” central point of focus. If such a symbol is desired, traditional Buddhist icons can be used and/or items with personal meaning can be included. The intention here is to provide a universal motif that can be individually customized.Your SPOT can be a secular (ordinary) place that is made sacred (spiritual) through your attitude. Your SPOT need not be labeled as a solely sacred or secular place. Our approach is the Way of Oneness. In the present context, this means that such dualistic terminology as sacred versus secular can be transcended.bonsasi6.bell.Setting Up Your SPOTIf you already have a Buddhist altar, fine—by all means, use it.Basic SPOT items include: bell, candle, flowers, incense burner, and meditation beads. The incense burner is usually put in a middle position, with the candle on the right side (as you face the incense burner) and the flowers on the left side. The bell is placed conveniently; e.g., anywhere on the right side for a right-handed person.Using Your SPOTTraditional usage involves lighting the candle, lighting incense from the candle flame, ringing the bell, doing gassho with the ojuzu, and optionally, chanting a sutra and/or doing a reading.For our purposes, minimal usage is to simply ring the bell and do gassho. This procedure is fine and is in no way inferior to more involved rituals. In fact, it may be advisable to routinely use only the minimal procedure-and to add other aspects only when your mood or need motivates you.Flexibility is the key in setting up and using your SPOT. Any suggested traditional guideline is simply a convenience, in the sense of having a standard to work from. The most essential thing is one's attitude and concentration when doing the act of gassho.bonsai12.bonsai1 Daily GasshoThe act of gassho is done by putting the palms of one's hands together in front of the heart and bowing the head. Gassho may be done sitting or standing; with eyes closed or open; and with or without the ojuzu beads.Your SPOT does not need to have a fixed “religious” central point of focus. If such a symbol is desired, traditional Buddhist icons can be used and/or items with personal meaning can be included. The intention here is to provide a universal motif that can be individually customized.Your SPOT can be a secular (ordinary) place that is made sacred (spiritual) through your attitude. Your SPOT need not be labeled as a solely sacred or secular place. Our approach is the Way of Oneness. In the present context, this means that such dualistic terminology as sacred versus secular can be transcended.As part of our 21-day program, a Harmony Gassho and Gratitude Gassho are done daily in front of your SPOT.Get in the HabitThe Harmony gassho is done in the morning and sets your motivation for the day. Decide when doing it will best fit into the flow of your usual morning routine. If helpful, post a “gassho” reminder sign in a visible place (e.g. in the kitchen or on the inside of the front door). One suggestion is to do your Harmony Gassho just before breakfast. As an aid to making gassho a habit, you can mentally make eating breakfast contingent upon first doing gassho, i.e. “no gassho, no meal.”The Gratitude gassho is done in the evening and recaps your day. It is suggested that you do it just before eating dinner. On days you eat out, you can do your Gratitude Gassho just before going to bed.
