Welcome to the Bodhi Tree. If you are here to sit underneath a pipal tree in the hopes of recreating the awakening of the Buddha,
you would better served chopping it down for fire wood. If instead you realize you are connected to the same source of wisdom and
compassion to which the Buddha awoke, the revelation of the Hebrew prophets, the truth Christ preached, the source of insight for
saints and mystics of many faiths -- the awareness of reality-as-It-Is -- then you are already under the Bodhi Tree wherever you are.
Lost or adrift? Seeking the experience of transcendent in the immanent? Searching for meaning in the madness of modernized living? Longing for a genuine connection to our common humanity? Don't just be a shallow consumer, trying to feed your needs with commercialism and the latest fad. Choose to be an active citizen of your society and the globe. Let's help each other wake up to our gifts and our responsibilities to our world.

Early happy b-day to me (Nov 2) |
Lead | ||
|
On Mondays, I have to get up between 6-6:20am, have a 40+minute drive to work, teach/do other tasks until 5:50pm, then have a 40 minute drive home, so I might
not be around much most of the day, so I am posting this early.

Thanks! Each b-day is another reason to increase my appreciation for life, and in that task I have been lagging sorely behind.

Oh things aren't that gloomy really, just a bit annoying since I have to deal with it long distance. :o)
