[NondualitySalon] Remembering Rick Puravs

[Guest guest]

Thank you for sending this Harsha. If you and others will send more of

Rick's posts to me I'd like to put-up a web page in his memory. A

picture will be fine, too. With permission I would use Dharma's posts.

> Harsha: I was saddened to hear of the death of Rick Puravs from Cher (his

> compassionate, often funny, and a deeply caring person. I remember how

> sympathetic he was to Dharma on the K-List about a year ago, when she faced

> some difficult times. That was very characteristic of Rick. His nature was

> that of encouraging others. He was always moved by the suffering of others.

> Recently, just a few days ago, Rick had posted a website for helping Kosovo

> there were many public exchanges on Gurus, Kundalini, Pranayama,

> Enlightenment, etc., on the K-List. In many of the conversations Jan, Janpa,

> David, Kurt, and others we know were active participants and there was a lot

> of depth as well as humor. I liked Rick very much. Probably, he had a good

> feeling for me also as he had Joined a. If Rick had ever

> written to me, I am sure I would have said, "Love you Brother." Rick gave

> people deep love and acceptance without making a big point of it as it was

> simply his nature to do so. Such people find love and acceptance where ever

> they go. Here is what Rick wrote on the K-List about a year ago.

>

> know all living beings as your lover

> remember the kindness of all your lovers

> develop the wish to repay the kindness of all your lovers

> develop affectionate love

> develop great compassion

>

> the bodies of one's self and others are not two

> Mudita (boundless delight in the attainment of others),

> Rick

> Love you Brother

Hi Jerry,

Yes, of course. But with Angelique's permission, you might want to use her

post to K-list also. The short piece of Rick's that I sent by itself came

from her long post, so you won't want to duplicate it.

 

I'll see what I can find in the K-list archives... or - Angelique, maybe

Fritz would want to do that?

 

Cher might have pieces to contribute that have never been posted.

 

Love,

Dharma
