Bodhidharma

[Guest guest]

Bodhidharma:

 

All know the Way, but few actually walk it.

 

If you don't find a teacher soon, you'll live this life in vain.

It's true, you have the buddha-nature. But without the help of a

teacher you'll never know it. Only one person in a million becomes

enlightened without a teacher's help.

If, though, by the conjunction of conditions, someone understands

what the Buddha meant, that person doesn't need a teacher. Such a

person has a natural awareness superior to anything taught. But

unless you're so blessed, study hard, and by means of instruction

you'll understand.

I have to go, you can talk now that I'm gone. :0)

Beloved Odysseus, away from the machine, in a car, here and there in New

Jersey, a bit to eat, dancing to piped Indian popular music in an

international food market, flowing with the others pushing the carts,

eyes glancing, minds touching, smiles and frowns, distance and union,

questions, mystery, " Ole " a old woman says excitedly as she sees gentle

dancing and slow shopping to the upbeat beat in incomprehensible

language, " Are you giving dance lessons, " she asks, husband is somber

looks quietly, " no lessons needed, listen to the music and the body

moves in its way, " the old man smiles, the carts move on......dancing,

dancing, smiles, pass the counter, the exchange on bread pudding,

seasons greetings, the music fades carrying the goodies to the

door..........

 

Forgive the absence lovely one, it was never there.
