Love


Love
"Watch the people around you express love. Learn from praying, from knowing God. Don't be distracted by rap music, Hollywood, soap operas, or other earthly offerings that are merely entertainment, not spiritual sustenance.
Remember: love exists in our lives at all times, even if we feel especially alone because we do not have a significant other. Love is all around us and inside of us."
~Patrice Gaines

Higher Power


Higher Power, I ask You to come into my life and show me how to trust and understand You.

Buddhist Wisdom


A person of wisdom should be truthful, without arrogance, without deceit, not slanderous and not hateful. The wise person should go beyond the evil of greed and miserliness. Do not get excited by what is old, do not be contented with what is new. Do not grieve for what is lost or be controlled by desire.


- Sutta-nipata, translated by H. Saddhatissa

Feeling Lost

Hi Rose,

Been feeling kind of lost these past couple days about where I'm headed in life--as far as my financial situation goes as well as the job offer I had gotten (which doesn't seem to be going anywhere at this point in time). Is everything going as it's supposed to be?

Happy Birthday by the way!
Thanks,
RPMB 9/27/87

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

ROSE,

HAVE YOURSELF A GREAT BIG WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!
MAY YOUR DAY BE FILLED WITH HUGS AND SMOOCHES and LOVE :-)

Loves ya!!

Buddhist Wisdom


Therefore it is said that the whole universe is just an illusion, unless you immediately realize the vehicle of truth and attain the mystic path all at once, forgetting all about subject and object, arriving at basic unminding, seeing through worldly troubles, understanding gangs of devils. If you effectively understand this, it will make you happy for life. If you still dont understand, its just because you yourselves are avoiding it.

Now


Now
"Only when your consciousness is totally focused on the moment you are in can you receive whatever gift, lesson, or delight that moment has to offer."
~Barbara de Angelis

Those with initiative, mindful, clean in action, acting with due consideration, heedful, restrained, living the Dharma: their glory grows. Through initiative, heedfulness, restraint, & self-control, the wise would make an island no flood can submerge.
- Dhammapada, 2, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

education

Hi Rose,
I cannot decide between going back to traditional school to become counselor or untraditional like lomilomi?

Buddhist Meditation


Those who have spent ten or twenty years brushing aside the weeds looking for the way and yet have not see the Buddha nature often say they are trapped by oblivion and excitement. What they don't realize is that the substance of this very oblivion and excitement is itself Buddha nature.
