To places I’ve yet to grasp.

Causes and conditions of darkness

It's pure, again

arisen non-beauty

flows back in

destroying kindly

Autumn leaves

non-oxidized blood

made green again

hurl out the heart

Spring flays open

stones of petal

darts of moon

a single drop of kiss

Blades of sun

stained with white

severing space

crying,

glorious defeat

Discourse on Blessings: Mangala Sutta

Thus have I heard:

On one occasion the Blessed One was living near Savatthi at Jetavana at Anathapindika's monastery. Now when the night was far advanced, a certain deity, whose surpassing radiance illuminated the whole of Jetavana, approached the Blessed One, respectfully saluted him, and stood beside him. Standing thus, he addressed the Blessed One in verse:

1. "Many deities and men longing for happiness have pondered on (the question of) blessings. Pray tell me what the highest blessings are.

2. "Not to associate with the foolish, but to associate with the wise, and to honor those worthy of honor — this is the highest blessing.

3. "To reside in a suitable locality, to have performed meritorious actions in the past, and to set oneself in the right direction — this is the highest blessing.

4. "Vast learning, skill in handicrafts, well grounded in discipline, and pleasant speech — this is the highest blessing.

5. "To support one's father and mother; to cherish one's wife and children, and to be engaged in peaceful occupations — this is the highest blessing.

6. "Liberality, righteous conduct, rendering assistance to relatives, and performance of blameless deeds — this is the highest blessing.

7. "To cease and abstain from evil, to abstain from intoxicating drinks, and diligent in performing righteous acts — this is the highest blessing.

8. "Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude, and the timely hearing of the Dhamma, the teaching of the Buddha — this is the highest blessing.

9. "Patience, obedience, meeting the Samanas (holy men), and timely discussions on the Dhamma — this is the highest blessing.

10. "Self-control, chastity, comprehension of the Noble Truths, and the realization of Nibbana — this is the highest blessing.

11. "The mind that is not touched by the vicissitudes of life,2 the mind that is free from sorrow, stainless, and secure — this is the highest blessing.

12. "Those who have fulfilled the conditions (for such blessings) are victorious everywhere, and attain happiness everywhere — To them these are the highest blessings."

Post from myspace Buddhist group, 1

For a Buddhist with sattha, the only "IT" is Dharma, the only search, "The THRUTH", a secure refuge.Namely the Four Noble Truths, the fourth, and consequent, the truth of the Noble Eight-fold path.As to not expand, just take Right-view, where is it's focus, where is contemplation directed?This group is a "mirror" for inquiry into "ones ownself", and into Dharma for those with sattha, in truth everything seems like a "mirror" for it seems we can only see but our reflection in samsara.

Like the 'famous' song goes "Sombras nadamas, entre tu vida y mi vida, sombras nadamas entre tu amor y mi amor, sombras...

We were two

We were two here

and now only one.

I ask and shed a tear

when will it be none?

Koh Samed

Not sure what the time is, but we are here, finally, after a long adventure, we've made it...Koh Samet.

With Bee and dancebunny. Collaborating our efforts towards the pursuit of excitement and innovation with the Kamma Agent, Jay. I am downloading camfrog, chilling out, will up date u all everynow and then. The night is still young, the contemplation of worldly life is almost over...soon, I shall ordain.

Oh I forgot, happy VisaKha Bucha Day.
Safe journey to all dhammabums around the globe.
