Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.
When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: "don't step on the ducks!"

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"

The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St.
Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ... very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.
The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"

The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"


have a wonderful weekend
(and watch where you step!)

Kindness can become its own motive.
We are made kind by being kind.

wishing you much metta

Good sons and daughters! Great love and compassion are called Buddha-nature. Why? Because great love and compassion always accompany the bodhisattva, just as shadows accompany things. All sentient beings will without fail ultimately realize great love and compassion. Buddha-nature is called “state of regarding each being as one’s only child.”



sending much love for a blissful week

"We are all parts of a universal web of being  that stretches across all universal dimensions. All matter of energy are interrelated to all sentient beings; are grasped in the infinite, compassionate embrace of Amida. Thus, all beings influence and are influenced by you and are composed of the same substance that composes you. All living things have genetic and molecular material in common. How can you not see all others as, at the very least, your cousin, if not your own parent or child?"
~Robert Orsi~


remain aware of the great love and compassion which embraces you and you will  attain enlightenment

Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.

In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.

Knowing this, how can you quarrel?


Namaste!

YOU ARE LOVED


To be who you are is to be enough.
To share who you are is to share enough.
To do what you love is to do enough.


There is no race to win and nothing to be proven,
Only dreams to be nurtured, a self to be expressed,
And love to be shared.


Never doubt your worth,
And always know, without any doubt,
That you are truly valued and deeply loved.

The meaning of happiness is the meaning of life.

And so it isn’t just the meaning of happiness in meditation, it is also the meaning of happiness in anything you are doing.

Because even sometimes your body gives you orders in saying, ‘Now you have to sleep’ or ‘Now you have to be sick’ or ‘Now you can’t do what you want’.

So it doesn’t matter whether there is something else in life which stops you doing what you want to do.

That is like the orders of life, and you have a chance there to actually let go, to surrender to the moment when you can’t change things, and be content.

And that’s one of the wonderful things which I find in Buddhist practice.

You can be happy, no matter what’s going on.





~Ajahn Brahmavamso~



stop and take the time to find the Happiness that is there in every moment of your life!

with love, Johann

Here, beside a clear deep lake,
You live accompanied by clouds.

Soft through the pines the moon arrives
To be your own pure-hearted friend.

You rest under thatch in the shadow of your flowers,
Your dewy herbs flourish in their bed of moss.

Let me leave the world.

Let me alight, like you,
On your western mountain with
Phoenixes and cranes.

~ Ch'an Chien ~

May all your days be Blessed

Crows pluck crimson leaves
from birdbath to splash amid
blue sky reflections

Indian Summer
burnishes bright leaf colors
into pastel hues

Autumn: my yearly
clash with conflicting feelings
of joy and despair


may these beautiful fall days warm your heart

“What a radical concept! Everyone having loving kindness!
With practice, a reality is created somewhere having that very consciousness of loving kindness.
Such practice also draws one to those planes of consciousness.”

from the Kuan Yin Scriptures

much peace and love

“Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.”

“Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night."

" To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.”
~Kahlil Gibran



much peace and love

ZEN HAIKUS FOR COMPUTER USERS


Everything is gone;
Your life's work has been destroyed.
Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?


Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen, mind, both are blank....


You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.


Program aborting:
Close all you have worked on.
You ask far too much.


Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

with a smile

"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."




If you boil everything down, you will find that virtually every significant endeavor of ours since the beginning of human history has been a manifestation of these three things.
To truly understand the meaning of life, we must harmonize truth, love, and beauty. 




Namaste
