    Buddha funnies:

    The Buddha said nothing, and everyone laughed.

    So the monk pays for his submarine sandwich, the clerk takes his money and turns away.
    "Hey", says the monk. "Where's my change?".
    The vendor looks up and says "Change comes from within"

    Why couldn’t the buddhist vacuum in corners?
    Because he had no attachments

    Someone sent the Buddha a gift box tied with a ribbon.
    Buddha opened it to find it empty.
    "Aha!", he said, "Just what I wanted. Nothing!"

    One zen student said, “My teacher is the best. He can go days without eating.”
    The second said, “My teacher has so much self-control, he can go days without sleep.”
    The third said, “My teacher is so wise that he eats when he’s hungry and sleeps when he’s tired.”

    So a monk walks up to a hot dog vendor in NYC city and asks, "can you make me one with everything?"

    Knock Knock!
    Whose there?


    Q: What happens when a Buddhist becomes totally absorbed with the computer he is working with?
    A: He enters Nerdvana.

    "Why couldn't Waldo have become a Buddhist and found himself?”

    How many zen monks does it take to change a lightbulb?
    Three
    One to change it, one to not change it, and one to neither change it nor not change it.

    Synergy of Unconditional Love with Wisdom 'Lighting Up' All That IS...

    The Village Hearts reaching out and around and around and around,
    touching the innermost of the outermost of eternal goodness.

    Loving Attention Intentions of Healing and Knowing in Beautiful Bountiful Balancing Benefit!

    I wish to request a 'village' intention of loving attention to Donna and Kyla, Mother and Daughter...
    natural selfless BEings, they are coming into their own experiencing and knowing of all that is.

    Donna has carpal tunnel syndrome of both hands and continual neck and spinal pain...
    Kyla needs to see and feel the Love for Herself that She gives freely to Others...

    A simple and powerful 'higher awareness' surge and splurge that will touch their hearts and the countless hearts they touch selflessly!

    Thank You, I Love You, Aho!

    Eaglespirit, has Donna tried cranio-sacral therapy? Some insurance plans cover it.
    It can be very effective for issues of the neck and spine, a gentle but powerful therapy.

    My insurance 15 years ago paid for a series of 10 treatments (weekly, as I recall) which corrected the long-standing neck problem I had, and never any problem since.

    In any case, working with energies on behalf of Donna and Kyla ...

    Thank God you found her Nora.

    She is blessed to have you.

    Now she needs heart and pampering then firmness, what a joy to be able to give, I am sure.

    She must be very relieved deep down that you found her, even if she is not showing or conscious of it yet.

    Continuing on the monk theme...

    I thought I'd mention this here, in case it's of interest to anyone who hasn't come across it.

    Unmistaken Child is a documentary about the quest of a Tibetan monk, Tenzin, to find the reincarnation of his beloved teacher, a lama who was well known in his previous lifetime. The film journeys through a culture that respects the understanding of reincarnation, as Tenzin questions his ability to find his master's new incarnation in one of the many children he encounters. I found the film beautiful - not only for the way it gives a glimpse into a very different world (more earthed than mainstream Western culture, yet connected to a more ethereal realm of spirit), but also because Tenzin himself feels like good company. Wise and gentle.



    I recommend watching with subtitles. You can get the gist without them (as the story is very visual) but not the full experience. Some of the finer details are there in what's spoken.

    Re: Tibetan monks... I love the way they create their sand mandalas. Focusing dedication onto something so delicate and beautiful, then erasing it from physical existence. Truly an exercise in valuing the present - not attaching to the creations of the past or responses in the future. So the intent in the moment of creation is the focus, rather the physical object itself. Mmmmm... Wonderful.


    Good things to all in the here and now, and those who you hold dear.

    May your niece be inspired by your loving action, and become forever freed from whatever has her in the grip.
    Brought her home today.
    Thank you my prayer is for her to be forever free from it too and happy.

    Very scared Ulli mostly for C. Went into the darkness of heroin addiction in a foreign country where I am not fluent in the language to find her. Fortunately there were people with me that new the language and their way around. To dealers and to what are called shooting galleries and then to where the clubs are and the red light districts; she was nowhere to be found.
    Too much time was going by and I was scared. Frustrated knowing that my feelings were clouding me and getting in my way, I quieted my-self and everything around me and asked for help. Finally I had a feeling-a sense and went into an entirely different section, one of the tourist areas and there was my little dove. Took two weeks. I'm so happy and relieved she is alive and safe. We are so lucky to have found her alive and at all. We were in one of the most dangerous cities in the Americas. Thank you for your prayers and love.

    When we got home I built a fire in the woodstove and sat with her by the fire and had hot cocoa.

    Love

    Nora

    Brought her home today.
    Thank you my prayer is for her to be forever free from it too and happy.

    Very scared Ulli mostly for C. Went into the darkness of heroin addiction in a foreign country where I am not fluent in the language to find her. Fortunately there were people with me that new the language and their way around. To dealers and to what are called shooting galleries and then to where the clubs are and the red light districts; she was nowhere to be found.
    Too much time was going by and I was scared. Frustrated knowing that my feelings were clouding me and getting in my way, I quieted my-self and everything around me and asked for help. Finally I had a feeling-a sense and went into an entirely different section, one of the tourist areas and there was my little dove. Took two weeks. I'm so happy and relieved she is alive and safe. We are so lucky to have found her alive and at all. We were in one of the most dangerous cities in the Americas. Thank you for your prayers and love.

    When we got home I built a fire in the woodstove and sat with her by the fire and had hot cocoa.

    Love
    Nora
    I got chills all over reading your post. You're one powerful Warrior of Love, Nora.

    A cup for you, a cup for C,
    Heck cups of for everybody.
    Today's a day of celebration.

    Does C knows a whole forum was on her case. When it is time, to warm her heart and make her feel strong (not before it is time so that she does not feel overwhelmed or not believe it), please tell her. It may change her way of seeing the world.

    There is a great being in there. She will be touched in the larger sense of the word.
