Amma, I will continue to abide with these words…Jett

“As I let go, I let go into awareness. As I let go into awareness, I know that I am not separate from others or the natural world. Knowing that the practice works, knowing that everything can be part of my practice, I reflect on the turmoil I have been through and the resolution, inner peace and joy that I experience. Seeing that the practice works is where I continue to find my resolve.”

stop looking to ‘Lord Hanuman’ for answers and a ‘god’ to worship and sing praises to… in doing so you promote the cardinal delusion of patriarchy – SEPARATION…

ALL IS ONE… you are ALL, you are ONE – you are INFINITE UNITY / ONENESS… as long as you keeping looking outside your little self, you’ll never grok you ARE Hanuman – you’ll never touch the ETERNAL SELF… sing praises to that SELF…

“When the ‘I am myself’ goes, the ‘I am all’ comes. When the ‘I am all’ goes, the ‘I am’ comes. When even ‘I am’ goes, reality alone IS, and in it every ‘I am’ is preserved and glorified. Diversity without separateness [infinite unity] is the Ultimate that the mind can touch.” -Nisargadatta, I AM THAT

Dear Sister Lucy,
Wonderful to hear from you! If you were able to look at the link for the photos, you would have been able to see that your two Bhikkhuni friends were indeed there! At least one is very prominent in the photos on the walk to feed the hungry. Yes slightly different paths but one taste when the heart abides in love and all pervasive awareness. So good to hear from you. Please convey my deepest warmth and regards to all the Brothers and Sisters as Turvey Abbey who may know me.

Dear Sister, I was happy to read of such a wonderful gathering and I like the title you give to your account. I wonder if my 2 other Bhikkhuni friends were there… Thank you for the example of your lives. I continue to pray for you all as we walk our “Way” along slightly different paths. With love, in the One Reality (to quote Ajahn Chah) – Sr Lucy

Comment on A Path out of Polarity by Bodhi (from Dharma Punx)

If someone is “right” then someone else must be “wrong”. When a value is attached to something, conflict is bound to arise since there is not a “right” or “wrong” – each view could be supported.
This election season, I avoided discussing my views unless I was asked my view.

Dad would have had something cleaver to say about having his ashes nourish a Bodhi Tree. And yes, we are not separate isolated individuals. The truth of this is rarely ever more apparent than in the human vicissitudes of birth and death. So being around community at these times, is particularly potent.
