I rarely speak of the past.

There was this Man-Angel,aSensei in Ai-Kido.Who was killed by A race car while shooting a sport promo.
I have on my wall 3 pictures of him Smiling the smile of an enlightened being.Each time ,I look at the pictures,I smile too.

Is he in Nirvana,or has he come back as a Bodhisattva?I wonder!

The subject today is TRANQUILITY. Sent by Banthe

Friends:Tranquillity is the way to Superhuman Delight!


Tranquillity comes due to insight. As he is sitting, whether by night or by day,
then he experiences neither fatigue, heaviness, rigidity, slowness, nor sickness
in his body, nor in his mind, but rather his body and mind are tranquil, very light,
adaptable, pliable, quite sharp and ultra-clear! With his body and mind aided by
such tranquillity, he experiences a superhuman delight, about which it is said:A Bhikkhu with his mind all quiet...
Retired to a remote & empty place.
There right insight in the Dhamma,
Awards him a superhuman delight!
It is because he really comprehends
The rise and fall of all phenomena
That he relishes in this high happiness:
A silent joy not of this world!
A bliss transcending the human!
And he knows it to be the deathless...
Dhammapada 373-74

To all or none,

From the book "anger" by Thich Nhat Hanh,I have come to a conclusion that people,who live their lives with anger ,hate,resentment,live their life descecrating Universal love,and the Karma that accompany these sentiments will have to be cleansed, and lived.

Text By Banthe.

Friends:Doubt is overcome by asking those Who Know!The brahmin Māgandiya once asked the Buddha some subtle questions:

Question: How does quarrels and disputes arise?
Answer: From what is liked and beloved arise quarrels and disputes.Question: How does these likes, longings and hopes emerge?
Answer: Likes, longings and hopes all have desire as their origin.Question: How does this desire come into being?
Answer: Desire arises depending on pleasure and pain.

Question: How does pleasure and pain then appear?
Answer: Pleasure and pain arises depending on contact.

Question: How does this event of contact happen?
Answer: Contact arises dependent upon name and form.

Question: How does such sensed contact completely cease?
Answer: When form has disappeared, contacts cannot make contact....

Question: In which mental state does all forms of form disappear?
Answer: In neither-perception-nor-non-perception does all form disappear!Question: Is this state the supreme mental purity?
Answer: The state of quenching without remaining clinging is the supreme!
The recluse does neither dispute that, nor does he ever prolong any becoming...
Sutta-Nipāta 862-877 Edited excerpt.

To all or none,

This morning having breakfast at one of my 2 fav. restaurants,I saw something quite unusual.Awoman in her sixties,with her curlers on covered by a net.Have not seen this my childhood.She seemed very well at ease.Good for her.Doing so it made me think of my deceased mother,wearing curlers all week for Sunday mass.

Thank you Madame,

Loong
