Or does which make me a moron for suggesting which Buddhists should do Yuletide shopping? Oh, help get me out of this tangle! At any rate there are a little pretty excellent treasures as well as retreats over during a auction site together with a square by moi! This is my second year participating as well as we adore it. Last year a woman bought my square for her husband's bureau as well as we shipped this little warn without delay to him. It was fun to know a story as well as to be part of a present giving process.

But we am always celebrated to be means to suggest a little something to such worthy players. It was fun to watch a behest upon my square during a new SFT auction. This is such an easy, fulfilling way to be means to suggest what seems singly "me" to a means of ancillary a Dharma. Am we removing in to a prohibited H2O of ego (who is this me?) as well as enterprise (shopping?) Okay time for me to go back to a cave. There's a lot of cave talk these days, especially here.

Contact of a Zen Kind

With palms together Good Morning Everyone, Zen vital requires a in advance reorientation to life. When such a spin happens what was once important no longer seems so; what was once unimportant is right away significant.
