MDI

Hi everyone, we will be changing our name from Mind Destroyer to MDI! You're free to continue calling us Mind Destroyer, as MDI is just the acronym for Mind Destroyer Inc., but for the sake of simplicity our domain and social media will be MDI.

The mind is like a mirror. It reflects what is around it. When we look in the mirror it appears as if we are peering into a whole world. In the mirror we see constant activity despite the fact that the mirror is an inert object. The mirror reflects all things, but the one thing that the mirror never reflects is itself. 🤔

“Discarding all desire for objects, Destroying the modes of the mind, The non-dual state of being the One, When the mind ceases to be, Is the one called supreme bliss.” Verse 40, from the chapter Atma Sakshatkara in the upa-agama text known as Sarvajnanottara, ‘The Pinnacle of all Knowledge’ 🤯

A Zen master once saw that his pupil had become quite advanced in meditation. He asked his pupil, "I see that you are very adept at meditation, please tell me, how do you meditate?" The pupil began giving a detailed account of how he meditated, the various postures he assumed, the breath control techniques he used to achieve his state, the mantras he repeated, and so on. The Zen master listened attentively to to whole account, and only once the pupil had finished giving his answer did the master speak. "Good," the master said, "don't do any of that ever again."

From the dirt comes the flower. So too do we have the opportunity to see the role suffering plays in finding happiness. As Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh says, "No mud, no lotus."

Change is the the law of nature. Meditation teaches us to not only accept change, but to expect it and adapt accordingly. We are transitioning from Mind Destroyer to MDI. It’s a subtle change, but one that we are excited about. Words cannot express the immense gratitude we have for everyone who has been a part of our development and we only hope that the coming year will bring us more opportunities to share our vision of a meditative future. 🏴🧘‍♂️

Practice isn’t about being perfect, it’s about accepting that you’re imperfect. 🥳🖤

Though the roots of meditation will always be in India, the practice of meditation is nationless. It's meditation's beauty and strength that it can fit in any culture, in any nation, at any time. What does meditation look like in America? That's been one of the questions that always pushed us to create new designs and new products. Though we always turn to the tradition for wisdom and inspiration, we also want to honor our own heritage and bring that framework to everything we make. 🇺🇸🏴 @ Los Angeles, California

They say life is a journey, but in reality we are like the rock in the stream. Time moves around us, age and experience come to us unsought. In truth, it is only our mind that travels—back into memories of the past and forwards towards thoughts of the future. Once we realize that only this present moment exists, that there is no past or future, we experience the truth of our stillness. 🗿

Waves rise and fall, but the ocean remains unchanged. Similarly, thoughts come and go, but with the practice of meditation we discover a stillness beneath them all. 🧘🏻‍♂️🌊

No matter who you are, where you live, what conditions exist in your life, you have time to meditate! Even if you were to meditate for just 4 minutes a day (the time it takes to listen to one song) you would have meditated for a full 24 hours after one year. 🧘🏻‍♂️🕰
