To all or none,

for personnal reasons wanted to start a blog on my Buddism .
Changed my mind.
You will still be reading me in A THEATRE NEAR YOU'Supposed to be a joke.

loong.
feeling better every day.

To all or none,

Today met a man ,I had not seen for a while .He is a jewel artist,suffering from Sclerosis.He has been in a Wheel chair for many years now.When He sat down at his table, I could not but notice the sparkle in his eyes.He meditates ,self learned.
He saw I was walking with a cane,and he said my eyes were sparkling too.
So he invited me to his chair ,and we spoke of Buddhism and peace of mind.
I have just written him back with a passage about letting go of earthly things like anger ,cravings etc.Also sent him a new Mantra that I received today from You Tube

To all or none,

The more one has an open mind ,that is me ,can't speak in your name :),the more the discoveries are various.I have a page with You Tube,and send me videos that could interest me.In one of my post ,i mentionned a song ,by Krishna Das ,a singer that sings all kinds of religious songs.His master for 20 years was the Mahari-Ji.
The one ,Song, i talk about is the only time in my whole life I saw a picture of Jesus of Nazareth smiling ,almost laughfing.
The words are unbeleivable and could be used for Buddha ,Krishna,
Bahii,any great mentor or god.

To all or none,
FAITH

This,is a subject,I rarely touched.I believe ,I never touched
The subject.
What ,I found in various lineages,are the powers given to Bhuddha
As almost as if he was a God.I never got into that.
In my case my Higher Power,is the Oneness in the Universe.
The Universe having had a beginning and one day ,will disappear,
it is to me in accord with the Impermanence preached by Buddhism.

The more my faith grows in the Universe ,mini miracles happen.
This morning got a phone call from a Dr.regarding my damaged shoulder and my 2 knees that ,I have been suffering of for 8,yes 8
Years.(THE KNEES)not the shoulder which is a result of the last
April stabbing ,I suffers.The Dr 's secretary mentioned ,I needed the CD report for the Dr ,to be able to really see what the damages
Are.
So jumped in my car ,beautiful sunny day,put the car on cruise control and drove 45 to50 miles where my MRI,s had been taken.
It took them an hour to prepare the CD,s.cost $6.05.

my rendezvous with the Dr is on March 25 th.
I had received from another hospital a letter mentioning a 2 year wait.

I work with a small tablette.At a dollar store found a rack for $1.50. To you these might not seem like little miracles,I just taught that it would be fantastic to find a support for the tablette,find it the next day,and as for the shoulder and knees
I had said to myself to be Mindful ,and that everything would be fine.It took 3 days.

Loong
Part of the Oneness of the Universe.

To all or none,
Imagination is an illusion of Reality which conceives of reality as an assembly of small pieces of separate entities and selves.In order to break through ,the practitioner meditates on the nature of interdependence or the interrelatedness of phenomena in the
Processes of creation and destruction is a way of contemplation,not the basis of a philosophic doctrine.If one clings merely to a system of concepts,one becomes stuck. Reality is reality.It transcends every concept.There is no concept which can adequately describe it,not even the concept of interdependence.

To all or none,

I have spoken before,of a group I taught to for 12years.During these 12years ,I had about 10,000 Seatings.As I got up to stretch ,
been working on my posts for 3hours now,on a 7" tablette,this woman comes up to me and said :That when she saw me she recognized me,
and that I seemed ,Here,Now,She said accomplished.
Still have a lot to learn,but lately,it is as if ,I had climbed another step on the ladder to Nibbana.

With my body ,feeling like a 100years old,my MIND rigpa,has never been better.As I wrote yesterday ,I would die today,without regrets
but for the first time ,I write ,would not mind a few years more.
So much more to learn and live.

May you find this bliss
