What is Happiness?

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

 In the Words of the Enlightened One

Let go your sense of 'I'

Let go your sense of 'me' or 'mine'

Let go your sense of 'self'

Let go your sense of 'want'

Let go your 'cravings and attachments'

Let go your 'passions'

Let go your 'desires'

Letting go your ego

  Is your ULTIMATE HAPPINESS!

The Cosmos Deep

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

A Vast and Infinite Self-propellant Being

Analogous to a machine composed of myriad wheels


Ranging from infinitely large to infinitesimally small

Proportions to conceive


Simultaneously engaged and propelled through interdependence

As deemed


Shrinking with the infinity of contraction, and expanding to the infinity of expansion

To say least!




Each portion of cosmos, in its own right - a wheel


Is part of the entirety indeed!


Embodying an infinity of infinitely contracted portions

Of the vast and deep


Each minute wheel in rotation, just a miniature universe of great concentration


The whole, as such, a conglomeration


Of miniature universes in varying proportions




The most powerful, yet, the smallest to conceive


Are wheels of mind as units of being


Sustained through birth-death revolutions infinite

Propelled by seven common currents of mind


As beats of mind in continuum - beyond speed of light




Each beat of mind, thus, a rotation


In the larger wheel, called 'unit of being'


Its speed - three billionth the duration of a flash of lightening




Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Infinity of Natural Potential

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

 Self Nature Vast and Supreme!

Self Nature, its virtues, infinite

Self Nature, a field of all possibilities, as truth defined

Self Nature, emanating vibrations as phenomena, in kind

Self Nature, all-encompassing wisdom compassion - immeasurable, unbounded - as existence in this moment, infinite

Self Nature, the source and culmination of ten realms of existence that range from 'purity to defiled'

Self Nature, as six realms of desire, and four sage-like - these to arise as states of mind

Self nature, mirrors inconceivable, unfathomable, wondrous vitality, non-contrived

Such is The Great Self, of Great Compassion, as Wisdom Infinite!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Moment Mind

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web! 

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life. 

Infinite!

Each still moment, infinite and complete

Contains it all - the tapestry of life and being

Thus, is the entirety

  Both enlightened, and unenlightened, unique

Moment mind = 1/infinite time

Moment mind = 1/infinity

Contemplate, meditate deep

Such is the basis for wisdom, compassionate indeed

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Four Universal Vows of Awakened Beings

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life. 

 In My Own Words

 Sentient Beings are  Innumerable
I vow to help them all

Afflictions are inexhaustible
I vow to end them all

Ways to practice benevolence are boundless
I vow to master them all

Enlightenment is beyond all expressions
I vow to find my true nature
with diligence and insight
This, my life call

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Mind and Matter Share One Nature

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web! 

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life. 

 Simultaneously and Repetitiously

Matter evolves from mind, and dissolves into the spaciousness of mind.
Thus, mind is matter, and matter is mind.

 

The crux of the matter is that mind endures,
but matter evolves and dissolves. 

Mind is the womb of all events in life
as they evolve to dissolve, and dissolve to evolve.

Mind-events - the objects of mind - arise and dissolve incessantly,
conditioned by the scheme of global interdependence
  as 'being or non-being'.

 
Mind and matter are, thus, an inseparable union, and
a continuum of 'emptiness and appearance' - as
they  fashion each other relentlessly.

Mind contains the entire cosmos as 'mind, and objects of mind'.
It is the paradox of 'one and many, at once'.
What a wondrous marvel!

Mind, 'the ocean' vast and supreme, flows incessantly.
Its waves of life merge into one another through interdependence.
LOVE, as 'compassionate activity', pervades it all.

 Essentially, mind and matter share one nature, as 'ocean and waves'
Mind's balance, though, may only be sustained with investigative insight.

  

We, together, are the waves
relentlessly merging into one another
as 'the individual' and 'the collective'.

Let not be caught up by 'the currents and waves' of our thoughts.
Experience the depth of the ocean in this very moment.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Mind Tamed

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life. 

From Darkness to Brilliance

Brilliance is the presence of higher mind.
  It is the spontaneous emanation of virtuosity
when we, as parents and elders, display an attitude of equality
towards all things and events that manifest
as 'phenomena' in the universe.

Indeed, it is in our best interest
to model life-experience with radiance,
~ by way of body, speech, and mind ~
consequently, to epitomize LOVE without conditions.

 The children, in turn, will only reflect
the wisdom of our compassion
by giving us a safe return of what we give to them.

The Grand Scheme of Benevolence

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web! 

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life. 

 The Nature of Our Universe 

Charity is the nature of our universe.

All events in life obey this grand scheme of benevolence,

in one form or another.

Human reason and intention, however, defy this wisdom

- more often than not - due to self absorption.

In the process, we disturb the balance and order within the totality

of bio-rhythmic phenomena. 

It is time for us to wake up from our human dream!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Emptiness Supreme!

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!


Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Such, is the meaning of Universe!

A vessel's importance is its emptiness to hold,


But neither its name, nor form

Thus, it fulfills its purpose by its emptiness

All of name and form - as universe - is devoid of intrinsic substance

Other than the role it fulfills momentarily


Through interdependent co-origination

Best described as global co-existence

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Mind of One and Many

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web! 

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Such is the paradox of one and many at once!

As ground and being of coarse, gross nature

As water and waves, or waves upon water

As Fires of life, and transformation

As breath of being, of all-pervasive vitality, the embodiment

As space the womb of celestial and terrestrial wonder

Thus is reality inseparable and indivisible

Spurred by interdependent co-origination, as global co-existence

Thus is the personal and universal, as self within selflessness

As Mind obstructed, in delusion, within the unobstructed

Realization pivotal to the attainment of balance and order

Peace and success, then, the truth and revelation

No mystery to life, but reverence to nature

Is the unstinting truth or the resolute law of phenomenal motion

Mind, Great Self, or Universe

Call by any name

Stands for its wisdom, ultimate

Compassion Luminous
Its true name, untainted!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

My World, My Universe

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web! 

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

 Does it lie within or without?

Caused and driven by passion while longing for 'a state of permanence'

Caused and driven by aversion being drowned in 'a sense of self'

Caused and driven by delusion, over-seeing existence in 'the present' or 'the here and the now'

Such is the world as 'personal'

Constantly drenched with feelings, rapidly intermittent

Of wholesome, unwholesome, and neutral nature

Reality, though, called 'life' stemming from such neutral nature

Projecting the falsity of permanence

From a past to a future, through time immemorial

Such is personality, in kind

As bundled-up memories
Supported by physical frameworks through space-time

The ever-reeling afflicted mind

The world is the passing dream of human kind

Trapped in the field of duality,
As 'self' (the past) and 'other' (the future), in guise

Through sheer inability to conceive

The indivisibility between all things, indeed

As 'this moment' alone, the universe

The 'one', in the all' and 'all', in the one' to be observed

Self projects the world, psycho-physical

Selflessness pervades the 'universe', as truth, ultimate

'Within' or 'without', as such, the paradox of vacillating mind

Insight, the key to enlightened mind!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Four Immeasurable Abodes of Peaceful Being

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

  'The Bliss of Awakened Awareness'

Such is universal LOVE, as unconditional LOVE, embracing all of living kind

Such is compassion, embracing all beings in distress

Such is sympathetic joy, as appreciative joy, embracing the successful and the prosperous

Such is equanimity, embracing the desirable and the undesirable without distinction

Thus are the four noble abodes of enlightened mind

Paradise on earth may only be experienced through investigative contemplation leading to insightful transformation

Begin your human mission to peace and success today!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

In Homage to My Father

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web! 

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

 On His Birthday

My reverent dad

His rich imprints
Of higher awareness,
  That, of poise
And solemnity, been laid
 Forever, in my heart


He, the unknown hero
- To world -
Who epitomized passivity and humility
Towards all in kind
Both sentient, and otherwise
Walked this Earth
Once upon a time!


This, my cherished memory
from being infant, child, youth
And, as such, through adult life!

Now, I hold the reality
Of being his continuation
As, I  nurture my nature
With all-embracing LOVE
Touching others who cross my path
Through each infinite moment, in flux
As 'here and now'


How marvelous it would be
For the good of universal life
To find the blessing of compassion,
In action
Modeled by every parent, in kind
This, the sublime truth
To raise humanity from afflicted mind!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Great Love and Great compassion

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

In this Moment of 'Suchness'

Everything's substance is one substance

"Thus, I am the universe; the universe is me"

It is the primary point to remember!

The one substance, the essential point

Is devoid of origination and cessation

It has no name, no form; no speech, no words!

This point of neither beginning, nor ending

Is the seed syllable of infinite potential

It is this moment - whole and complete - with no attachment to name and form!

It is this 'moment mind' that sees, hears, smells, tastes, and touches 'the truth'

It fulfills its function with relevance to the situation, without aim!

It is 'great love' and 'great compassion' in action!

This primordial state of mind

May only be ascertained with mindfulness of a threefold nature

As Great Faith - one-pointed effort

As Great Courage - persistence, perseverance in maintaining mind-body-spirit equipoise

As one Great Question through Eternity - true nature without inclusions of thought

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

 Beings and forms are innumerable

I aspire to help them all

Afflictions are inexhaustible

I aspire to end them all

Ways to practice are boundless

Knowledge Gained

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

A Two-dimensional Experience!

Knowledge of Acquired Learning
Intelligence of the lowest order

Powered from without
Tainted by conventional thought
Confused by ideals of representation
Misguided by objective analysis
Grounded upon standardization
Diffused by segmentation of reality
Thus, consequential incoherence
Breeding ground of negative habitual patterns and energies
as envy, jealousy, and other competitive traits

Knowledge of Acquired Learning
Intelligence of the lowest order

Of coercion, imposition, enforcement, and competition
Devoid of inner direction
Lacking inspiration and heartfelt motivation
Ever-waning in mental affliction

Knowledge Gained through the Cultivation of Wisdom
Intelligence of the Highest Order

Motivated from within
To remain in mindfulness of morality
Or moral sensitivity
Rooted in compassionate understanding
when 'the self' is dispelled while seeing through the eyes of 'sentient all'

Knowledge Gained through the Cultivation of Wisdom
as Intelligence of the Highest Order

Is the bliss of a joyful inner world
Filled with the highest of aspirations and intentions
To remain in service to all
without exceptions, judgments, and contradictions


Happiness and contentment of the outer world is a direct consequence of the inner world.

The discrepancy between the world of representation (the outer)
and the world of reality (the inner) is the gap that must be dissolved with mindfulness.

Selfless service as opposed to self-enrichment
must be our highest human ideal. Recognition of this truth will only illumine one's experience of world.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Reality and Representation

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Linked by Interdependence



Reality, none other than...


Emptiness ~ luminous
Wisdom ~ compassion
Infinite potential
Momentous, bare-perception
Untainted by valuations
Uncolored by thought
A whole as 'here and now'
This moment sacred
Undifferentiated!


Representation, none else but...


Name and form
Valuations and imputations
Multiplicity and diversity
Dualistic interpretations
Self and other
Subjective, objective
Confusion and diffusion
In space-time continuum
Trapped in the gap
Between 'a past' and 'a future'

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

World Within, and the World Without

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Paradox of Life!



Life beholder, is world within
Of being, of form
Such are emotions, akin

Of Passion, aversion, delusion
the dream within
In myriad guises
unenlightened being

Dark shadows of being
do bring undue tension
as heaving waves upon
mind itself, vast ocean

Hues of light
Of speckled brilliance
Must be nurtured with love
With, mindful concentration

Together, as such, are beings
Of mental affliction
Fleeting, surreal
let not be caught up
by mind's own fiction

Wholesome, unwholesome
being of spontaneous nature
await being treated
with tender, loving attention

Attitude of acceptance and
acknowledgment " this too shall pass "
Is key notion, of no defection
Such is truth ultimate
Wish-less, aimless
of placid perfection

This, the realization
of world within

Is path to peace eternal
in world, without - no sin!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.
