Atta Dipa and Prayer - Heisoku Maik Bain https://youtu.be/TkEqFsVyK5A

You are this light pure selfless awareness.
Rely upon selfless awareness.
Do not rely upon concepts of self and other that
appear.
Do not depend upon beliefs, sensations, and
emotions, which arise and fall away.
Meditative awareness, clear intention, acting
wisely, compassionately and skillfully are this
practice.
Rely upon this only!
Rely upon this ceaselessly!

Why there are no victims - Kenshin Cian Whalley https://shiningbrightlotus.podbean.com/e/why-there-are-no-victims-kenshin-cian-whalley/

Kenshin Cian reflects on a lifetime of examining the difference between real victimization and the identity of victimhood, sharing how early childhood trauma shaped his unconscious patterns in relationships. Through Mondo Zen practice, shadow work, and metacognitive awareness, he realized that while harm is real, the ongoing story of being a victim is a choice shaped by conditioned parts of the self. He describes catching himself strategically allowing suffering to influence outcomes, seeing clearly that a deeper awareness was always present and choosing. Recognizing this “choice point” allowed him to step out of the victim–rescuer–persecutor cycle, reclaim his disowned power, and respond from presence rather than trauma-driven parts.
