Live your Life

With all these people dying(like Steve Irwin yesterday,the crocadile hunter)I said fuck it and went out and bought a jet ski for me and my daughters to have fun with!You never know when your time is up,so I decided a long time ago not to fret about the little stuff,and then decided its all little stuff,so just live like you might not be here tomorrow,to say nice things to friends instead of hurtfull things,and just enjoy the little things in life..like a sunset!Or going out all weekend with my kids and friends and providing a little fun for everyone..Was a really special weekend,as I have wanted a boat most of my adult like,but spent the money on work equiptment before..This time,I spent the money I had extra on me,and my kids.Shit,you never know if a bom b is gonna explode in a container in the harbor near me.Or mt reineer might blow its stack finally.Or if..or if..or if...there's always something to worry about ,but theres also somethings to be thankfull for at the same time.Jody,I'm enjoying the rest of my life,and I hope you do the same!

Jainism

Earth is afflicted and wretched, it is hard to teach, it has no discrimination. Unenlightened men, who suffer from the effects of past deeds, cause great pain in a world full of pain already, for in earth souls are individually embodied. If, thinking to gain praise, honour, or respect ... or to achieve a good rebirth . . . or to win salvation, or to escape pain, a man sins against earth or causes or permits others to do so. . . . he will not gain joy or wisdom. . . . Injury to the earth is like striking, cutting, maiming, or killing a blind man . . . Knowing this man should not sin against earth or cause or permit others to do so. He who understands the nature of sin against earth is called a true sage who understands karma. . .




quote(s) / poem(s) n° 3942: Acaranga Sutra, Jainism

Free Yourself

If you would free yourself from the sufferings of birth and death, you must learn the direct way to become a Buddha. This way is no other than the realization of your own Mind … If you want to realize your own Mind, you must first of all look into the source from which thoughts flow. Sleeping and working, standing and sitting, profoundly ask yourself, 'What is my own Mind," with an intense yearning to resolve this question. This searching of one's own Mind leads ultimately to enlightenment.
Bassui

The Wisdom of Uncertainty

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty... in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.
