Happiness is a how, not a what; a talent, not an object.

—Herman Hesse

Tearing down the house

The body the Buddha

The body is the only body you have. You cannot have body transplant. Or mind transplant.

The body has no past. Only scars. The self has pains and suffering. Traumas and dogmas.

To realize that is Nirvana. Buddhahood.

"The purpose of art is to wake up and live from a deep place."

Grateful Dead Live at Copps Coliseum

In streaming audio.

What you believe is what you perceive.

Life itself is traumatic

"There is no such thing as growing up without traumas."

- The teacher, not the pupil.

"The brain is afraid of danger and embarrassment."

-- Animal Planet

Just sit. Don't worry. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Avoid comparing yourself to others. You are not less than anybody. But not better. And not equal. You don't have to be like everybody. And you don't have to be different. You're just different. Someone said "I'm not like other girls; I'm different". I think she's right.

"So this life, bhikkhus, does not have gain, honour, and renown for its benefit, or the attainment of virtue for its benefit, or the attainment of concentration for its benefit, or knowledge and vision for its benefit. But it is this unshakeable deliverance of mind that is the goal of this life, its heartwood, and its end."

-- the Buddha

Papancha

"We build houses of thoughts and we live in them."
-- Book of Lies.

Suffering

"Being loved by the wrong person is suffering." Or loving the wrong person.

Summer Tour

Paul came back from his three-week tour of Austria, Italy, Hungary, and Slovenia last week. He had his haircut too.

In less than fantastic and glorious way

"An essential component of forgiveness and compassion is realizing that the other person's words and actions are not about you, but about his own internal reality which has intersected with yours."

-- The Dalai Lama

"We are each the star of our own movie. Practice invites us to honor every member of the cast of characters in our life, remembering that they have their own reality. And through it all we can wake up from the dream."

--SRMC

Fogging the mirror

Going for Nirvana. Don't waste time. Time flies.
