To all or none,
The Buddha says in one of his Tantras;Of all the buddhas who have ever attained enlightenment,NOT a single one accomplished this without relying upon a Master,and of all the thousand Buddhas that will appear in this eon ,none of them will attain enlightenment without relying upon a Master.
Thank you Lisa Erickson,my Master
loong the learner

Friends:
The 3 Stigmata are Universal Characteristics!
Any form, materiality or body whatsoever, whether past, future or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, far or near is only impermanent, painful and not-self: these are 3 kinds of deep comprehension. Any feeling whatsoever ... Any perception whatsoever ... Any construction whatsoever ... Any consciousness whatsoever is impermanent, miserable and not-self! Any eye, any ear, any nose, any tongue, any body and any mind is impermanent, suffering and not-self! Any visible form, any sound, any smell, any taste, any touch and any idea whether past, future or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, inferior or superior, far or near remains always transient, painful and impersonal: These are 3 kinds of real comprehension. One can understand it in this way: Any object is impermanent in the sense of destruction, painful in the sense of terror, and not-self in the sense of having no core: These 3 characteristics can be generalized to all things... Full comprehension is understanding: Any object whatsoever whether past, future or present, is impermanent, constructed, dependently arisen, thus inevitably it will be destroyed, unambiguously it will fade away by decay, unavoidably it will be lost, inescapably it will all cease, perish and vanish ... Vism 608

Nothing is permanent until fired in the kiln of spiritual fire.

The terror nightmares are related to the attack or prior to that?

Ok, I am glad you shared them with me in your other message. Just for others that might be reading this I will mention that working with our dreams can be a very powerful form of practice. In this case, when they are traumatic dreams, they can help us access energies and patterns hidden deep in our awareness. Then we can bring them to the surface to work with in meditation - for release, transmutation, and healing. It's important that meditation and mindfulness practice when we are awake never become an escape from these energies. We bring everything into practice!

Dear Teacher, Met my younger brother yesterday ,for a few hours.His and my souvenirs of our youth ,are not alike at all.Seems ,I mistreated him very badly,In that phase oh my life ,I was a self centered egoistical s.o.b. I attribute my being this way,being caught in anxiety,depression and all.I was defending myself,i beleive,with that personnata. He says ,he has forgiven me for my behavior,but still has resentment against me! The news that I would get sometimes,were all wrong,being distortionned,by the hate for the Joly's,my real name. One goog thing has come of it.NO TERROR NITEMARE last nite. He was always the one,in my nitemares,putting me down,hard. So one nite does not make a life. But it's a start.
Learned that we both saw our family life in totally opposite directions. I am sure that my Teacher ,will comment on my post.

To all or none,
In my town ,where I live,we are allowed yard sale,twice a year. Today was one of them.What is great about yard sale,is the friendlyness,loving kindness of the yard sellers.Found beautiful stuff.What it also made me do ,is walking,which is good for my lungs,my overall body,strenghtening my damaged legs,and be in a joyful attitude all day.
May you be joyfull all day.
Loong
