Happy Sunday!!!


For the raindrop, joy is entering the river.

~ The Sufi Prophet Ghalib


Meditate on that which is beyond words and symbols. Forsake the demands of the self. By such forsaking you will live serenely.

~ Sutta Nipata

Wat, why is that huge PEMB going up on your land?

Just a garage you say?

I've seen aircraft hangers for B-52s smaller than that garage, just saying....

That's the idea. Then to fill it to the rafters . . . .

. . . and cuss that I didn't build it big enough.


Happy Tuesday!!! Lovely day here. Might be good for riding the bike.


The manner of thinking that creates a problem, cannot be the means by which to solve it, In simple terms, when spinning out, the only thing to do, as hard as it seems, is to get off the mental-merry-go-round .,, Confidence and love and the light of the world wait below all the labors of our mind.

The Book of Awakening



A buddha is one who does not seek. In seeking this, you turn away from it. The principle is the principle of nonseeking; when you seek it, you lose it.

~ Pai-chang

Focus on the gap between thoughts, and that is where truth lies, unencumbered by ego. Tough to do but a good exercise for deep meditation. For it is in this space that we are truly at peace, were no outside influences disturb us.

Happy Wednesday!!! Coffee is all but done. Got a couple of things to attend to today. Cutting grass is one, and one of my least favorite. Heat is coming. Oh well . . . .


Changes that seem to occur in the empty world
we make real only because of our ignorance.

Coffee is the silent victim in my house, it gets mugged everyday.

Oh the pitiable life it leads as it slides past the wee ivory towers into the maw of darkness . . . .

Happy Thursday!!! Slept okay, basically the night through, if you don't mind waking up a bit early. That Damned Kitten is in the window looking at Allah knows what. It gets a bit warmer today, and a lot warmer tomorrow. Basically, the nights stop cooling quite as much. Anyway, they grass got cut and looks good, the coffee is on, and the one piece of Yesterday Business that didn't get done was just postponed to today, so we'll see how that goes.


One of the major aims and purposes of religious practice for the individual is an inner transformation from an undisciplined, untamed, and unfocused state of mind towards one that is disciplined, tamed and balanced.

~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
(and I suspect that he uses the term "religious" very loosely.)

I've been doing some reading on the Ravings and their Spring gatherings and what the press has to say about it/them. Balmer team and Balmer press. Still stuck on the KC game from last year, which also happens to be their next game this year. I concluded somewhere during the last season or two that Mahomes is smarter than Jackson and that that has an effect. This Spring, I'm beginning to wonder if Reid is smarter than Harbaugh.


Ravings might make it interesting to win 10 this fall.

Getting a bit of writing done. Who knew?


There's a dairy around here somewhere.


Oh, and Summer comes next week, but it feels like it's already here.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Tuesday!!! Best wishes to you and yours. Summer arrives on Thursday but the temperature seems to think it's already here. Piffle!!!


This is the very perfection of man, to find out his own imperfections.

~ Saint Augustine


He who treads the Path in earnest Sees not the mistakes of the world; If we find fault with others We ourselves are also in the wrong.

~ The Sutra of Hui Neng


Praise and blame, gain and loss,
pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind;
To be happy, rest like a great tree in the midst of them all.

~ Buddha's Little Instruction Book

Happy Wednesday/Juneteenth. Second year in a row off for it, but I really hate a mid-week holiday. Long weekends are better.


If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the present, for that is the past’s effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the present, for that is the cause of the future.

~ Majjhima Nikaya

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

~ Confucius

By teaching about Mindfulness, All-Knowing and Nirvana, Buddha teaches us how to awaken and free our souls from the cycle of suffering. Read the following quotes to free ourselves by learning to accept, let go and live peacefully. Buddha's teachings are an endless source of inspiration, a guiding light for souls searching for the meaning of life. Buddha pointed out that suffering exists in life because of greed, anger and ignorance. By living simply and without pressure, we can free ourselves from the cycle of desire and samsara.

Seems that a lot of people are working on this holiday.

Somebody seriously overthought this:

A gold Buddha can't get through a furnace, a wood Buddha can't get through a fire, and a clay Buddha can't get through water. The real Buddha sits within: enlightenment, nirvana, suchness, and Buddha-nature are all clothes sticking to the body.

~ Chao-chou


The butterfly silently returns when the winds blow free.

~ Chinese proverb

 

[Wat_Tyler]

There was a young man called Fred
who wanted everyone else dead.
He bought a big gun
to set off like a Hun,
but Mom called him to lunch instead.

Happy Friday!!!


In my own experience, the period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life. ...Through a difficult period, you can learn, you can develop inner strength, determination, and courage to face the problem. Who gives you this chance? Your enemy.

~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama
