Precious Mountain,
your call broke my heart into a thousand pieces... and put it back together better than before!
To me, it is the summary of simply everything on this website -its content and spirit - and the rising wind that heralds the new dawn.
Even though unfortunate natures have begun to visit us, trying to sow harmful information and disharmony with increasing subtlety, it seems that something good comes of it every time, which says a lot about the sincerity and good motivation of our participants.
This is reason to rejoice and to renew our commitment to work from the basis of compassion and understanding always. Some situations call for a 'mirror' and clear words - we are not mindless airy fairy fools - nevertheless let us all strive not to get dragged into negativity per se, as this is precisely what some want to achieve and believe me, they are trained in this more than any of us.
when the surgeons come in
remember the emptiness of aggregates
let knifes strike space
come back as spring breeze
- fragrant
May whatever we do never be separate from Dharma.
May the holy vision described by Mountain fill us, encompass us and carry us towards its realization in this world.
Mahabodhi has already volunteered as caretaker of our new Monastery... i'll be happy to clean toilets...
Thank you Mountains, thank you everyone -
yours, beggar
