Re: Re: Beautiful Tibetan translations

 

 

Hi Harsha,

 

I was going to write and say that I was sorry

that I didn't realize this was your list. I thought

I was on nonduality where we can let our hair

down and then I remembered your big toes

remark. :-)

 

Why do I feel like I have to proper on your

list? It feels like when I went to dinner as a

teenager at my friends house and they

didn't pick up the chicken leg with their

fingers but cut it with a knife.

Many of our wise list members are actually pretty wild and crazy here

Marcia, although it may be just beneath the surface currents. Yes we talk to

each other in a nice, respectful, even lovey dovey sort of way and generally

exhibit good taste in conversations. Well, it is after all a fellowship.

 

Perhaps we are like the parrots in Luan's story with our heads down mumbling

away with the mala beads in our hands reciting our prayers hoping they will

be answered.

 

Hopefully, like at least one of Luan's Parrot's, we will be clever enough to

realize when the Lord has blessed us :-).

 

Love to all

Harsha

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

It is said that prayer changes things. Parrotfully speaking. I've

heard several moanings --- my God will it never end.

 

We are about as snooty as a hog rooting through a garbage pail. Move

over there's a choice tidbit. High society is us.

Oh dear. :-)

 

Not snooty like stuck up. Just more pure than I am.

More realized; not as subject to feelings inappropriate

for an enlightened being. Ha ha.

 

Now I am really getting tangled up in my beliefs.

 

Seriously with a small s; people quote these beautiful

sages about very high states of being and I am concerned

about cleaning the bathroom.

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.
