TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

Happy Friday!!! Slept okay. It's time to pack morning for our wee road trip back to the house after work. There's stuff to do this weekend, but everything that looks like it'll get done is inside because it looks like rain outside.


It looks like coffee here.


After you ask for guidance -- Listen!

~ Barbara Ann Kipfer


Patience is the sprouting of religion, firmness its root, good conduct is the flower, the enlightened heart the boughs and branches, wisdom supreme the entire tree, the "transcendent law" the fruit, its shade protects all living things. Say then! Why would you cut it down?

~ Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king

Happy Soggy Saturday!!! Yeah, we haz rain - who knew? We seem to have our April Showers a few weeks late, but the blooms here have already come and gone. Of course, the grass will grow a foot when the sun hits it for a couple of days.


Weddings. I was out with the Friday crew, and the kingpin (of sorts) and his honey are getting married next month. What's funny is, a few folks were taking about it at supper last night, and guess who was informed/invited? No matter. Said nothing. Didn't get mad. Really, it doesn't matter. It just struck me as peculiar is all, but then it's typical of how few people really pay attention to their surroundings and how others are or aren't connected. It also reminded me of having a chat with a guy several years ago on a Saturday morning, and as we were parting, he said, "well, see you this afternoon." I asked, "where?"
He said, at M's house for the wedding." "no, you won't." "Why not?"


"I wasn't invited." Anyway . . . .


Coffee!!!


Human beings come and go, but principles go on and on.

A small wave in the ocean laments "Poor me. Other waves are so great in size, yet I am so small. Other waves can travel so fast, yet I am so inferior." Another wave replies "This is because you do not know your true being, so you think you are suffering. A wave is your temporary phenomenon. In actual fact, you are water. When you realize that your true being is water, you will no longer be troubled by your physical form, and therefore will no longer suffer."


The truth is that till the neophyte attains to the condition necessary
for that degree of Illumination to which, and for which, he is entitled
and fitted, most if not all of the Secrets are incommunicable.
The receptivity must be equal to the desire to instruct.
The illumination must come from within.


~ Master Kuthumi

Long day at the job site. Not too hot but the humidity must have been over 4000%. The exterior painters got pulled - their boss says we buggered the contract. Ya gotta love it. Built some elevator shaft barricades. Closed a bunch of windows because there is rain about. It was nearly dead in there today. Oh, and there are an assload of video training classes that Wat has to be subjected to. Sexual harassment. Where does he sign up????

I didn't know you worked on cars. What a good example of what a woman should look like- one of, anyway.
 
I have a few rolling steel projects, yes.


Actually, she kind of scares me a bit . . . .


:ROFLMAO: :nana:
I've had, and still have a few bicycle projects, have a moped project in the wait, but have yet to be able to build a car. I have a few ideas, and right now focused on planning out two of them, along with the possibility of a motorcycle of sorts and/or an electric scooter.
 
Happy Sunday!!! The josh burns for those who suffer needlessly, which is most of us on most days.


Fortunately, there is coffee.


He who for himself or others craves not for sons or power or wealth, who puts not his own success before the success of righteousness, he is virtuous, and righteous and wise.

~ Buddha

We are sitting under the tree of our thinking minds, wondering why we’re not getting any sunshine!

Happy Tuesday!!! Slept pretty well. Looks like we get the PM back on site today, which should come as no surprise. This job is trying to die, and it needs to get its ass moving. We had bupkis for help yesterday. Wat did hear back from some people he had been trying to contact, so there was that. Now he's at a different level of people who don't return calls. Don't that just figure?


Anyway, the coffee is damned good, so there's that.


Don't be afraid of doing good. It's another name for happiness, for all that is dear and delightful--this phrase "doing good." Whoever would live well, Long lasting, bringing bliss-- Let him be generous, be calm, And cultivate the doing of good. By practicing these three, These three bliss-bringing things, The wise one lives without regret His world infused with happiness.

~ Itivuttaka Sutta

Happy Wednesday!!! Slept okay. Got a busy workday on the drawing board. And May is going to make itself be felt a bit more weatherwise. At least it's a sunny week, and it's a 3-day weekend coming.


After coffee, of course.


A young man went into the deep mountains to ask a master to teach him swordsmanship. He asked the master how long it would take to learn, to which the master replied "ten years". The young man said "my father is getting old, and I need to take care of him. If I am very diligent in learning, how long will it take?"The master replied "That way will take thirty years". The young man was even more anxious. "First you said ten years, now you say thirty years. I don't care how much hardship I have to bear, I must learn it in the shortest amount of time." The master replied "In that case, it will take seventy years".


Thousands of candles can be lit by one candle and the life of that candle will never be extinguished. Happiness never dries up when we know how to share.

Happy Thursday!!! Slept pretty well. Was pretty dead to the world when the alarm went off. It'll be warm today, and there are a lot of spot inspections to be done. Meh, it pays well, it's not difficult, and it needs doin'.


And this coffee needs drinkin' . . . .


A scholar visited the monk Nanyin to ask him about Zen. Nanyin offered some tea to his guest, but he continued pouring even after the cup was full. After a short while, the scholar could not stand it any longer and said "the cup is already full! Stop pouring!". Nanyin replied "You are just like this cup, full of your views and opinions. If you do not empty your cup first, how can I tell you about Zen?"


The secret to good health is to stay in the present - Buddha's teachings

"The secret to health of both mind and body is not to blame the past or fear the future, but to live in the present moment wisely and seriously."

Happy Thursday!!! Slept okay. Got a hard half a day at the work site and then a long drive. Nothing special going on.


Except coffee.


A mighty general was holding and admiring one of his antique cups. Suddenly, the cup slipped from his hands and fell. Although in shock, he quickly caught the cup before it hit the ground. Somewhat breathless from this incident, he thought to himself "I have led tens of thousands of soldiers into battle without fear. Why did a cup cause me to become so frightened?" He then realized that it was his mind of attachment and loss that caused him such fright. With this comprehension, he casually threw the cup to the ground and let it break.

Happy Memorial Day weekend Sunday!!! Here at Chez Wat East. Cats are taking a break after a rambunctious morning. Coffee is consumed, shooping list is underway, there is a bit of sun out and grass will get cut whether Wat wants to or not. It's been 3 weeks. This 3-egg omelette is kicking ass. There's the M1 rifle stock - reproduction - to consider a finish for. Meh, we'll see. Looks like rain is on its way for later, too. This has been one soggy-ass Spring.


Friends, I know nothing which brings suffering as does an untamed, uncontrolled, unattended and unrestrained heart. Such a heart brings suffering.

"He who knows others is wise, he who knows himself is enlightened."
- Lao Tzu

When we fall on the ground it hurts us, but we also need to rely on the ground to get back up.
-Kathleen McDonald, How to Meditate

Always recognize the dreamlike qualities of life and reduce attachment and aversion. Practice good-heartedness toward all beings. Be loving and compassionate, no matter what others do to you. What they will do will not matter so much when you see it as a dream. The trick is to have positive intention during the dream. This is the essential point. This is true spirituality.
Chakdud Tulku Rinpoche
