Shouting At The Buddha

    A    L    O    H    A  !  
" The only fence 
against the world 
is a thorough
 knowledge 
of it. "

John Locke






" Never say 
there is nothing 
beautiful 
in the world anymore. 

There is 
always something 
to make you wonder 
in the shape of a tree, 
the 
trembling 
of a leaf. "


Albert Schweitzer





 “ The resistance 
to the unpleasant 
situation 
is the root 
of suffering. ” 

Ram Dass

Buddha and his companions
had been walking all day.

They approached a small village
when suddenly
a man came shouting
full of anger
right at Buddha
who continued walking
calmly.

Later on
someone asked him
what they all wondered:
"Why did you not
engage him?"

"Let me ask you a question:

If someone gives you a 
gift that
 you choose not to receive, 
to whom
 does it belong?" 

Beyond basic safety
refuse to accept
or engage
the sticky traps
of entanglement.

Keep flying!

You will not save
those sinking in quick sand
by sinking in it
yourself.

Be a little selfish.
It's called 
"Self Preservation"

You can blame me
and Buddha.

Thanks SO much
for Your visit!
