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.

Welcome MahaloLOve. What a cool username. I know Mahalo is Hawaiian but I had no idea what it means until just now. Wikipedia says it means
thanks/gratitude/respect, but another site
(which is on Geocities, a hosting service which Yahoo! says will be discontinued later this year) says it is a sacred word/blessing/single word prayer that
means "(May you be) in (Divine) Breath." I don't know if that site is correct but it sounds very cool!
As for dogs, yeah, they are the best. They don't worry about much other than safety, loyalty, a purpose (catching rats, digging holes, chewing bones, etc) and the most basic needs (food, shelter). They get so excited over everything with a sense of living wonder and appreciation:  "WOW! You're home!" "WOW! You looked at me!"
"WOW! You pet my head!"
