Learning by Love

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

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

 Is to Epitomize Wholeness

 in Body-Speech-Mind

 

Life, from its very inception, is a process of learning.  It is, fundamentally, the exploration and cultivation of knowledge along a natural, developmental order.  It requires no effort, but nurturing the cause of nature with selfless LOVE, as opposed to biological love.  'Learning by Love', is therefore, the most appropriate and fitting expression to define our unfolding story of life.

 

As parents, we must aspire to be enlightened with this wondrous perspective so that we may help the child - through his growing years into maturity, as adulthood - grounded upon wisdom alone.

We must attempt to enrich ourselves, along with our children, so that we may be immersed in, and inspired by, all of life's offerings. What we call academia, sadly, in a conventional sense, is this all-encompassing knowledge segregated into areas of study, commonly known to be subjects. 

However, it must be noted that knowledge - from a holistic perspective - consists of diverse intersecting aspects that indivisibly and inseparably form the tapestry of 'life and being'.  A child must be led to understand this magnanimous field of crisscrossing, overlapping, cosmic interdependence that continually fashions our very existence.

We are in it together, to be conditioning life with our selfless love, as opposed to selfish love.  If this was the case, learning will never be a chore, but an enjoyment through the entirety of being.

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

The Promise of Parenting

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

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

 As a 'A Help to Life'

Parenting is the outcome of a sacred union of LOVE. A child is most naturally borne, and born to solidify this love with life's intended greater purpose - to sustain humanity that steers our world into the future. It must be cherished with a profound sense of respect, direction and responsibility.

The gift of parenting, therefore, must be treasured with gratitude, since the child is apt to bring bundles of joy, contingent upon our faithful nurturing. This delicate being deserves every breath of our LOVE, and attention we may possibly shower upon him, though they ought to be rooted in the field of selflessness and compassion that, together, pervade our cosmic tapestry of interdependence.

We have, hence, an untold commitment to walk mindfully beside the child, so that we may show him the way to the universal order of all things - when grounded upon moral-sensitive awareness. The child, needless to say, will only grow to learn that 'others' happiness is our happiness, and our happiness is others' happiness. This will be the avenue of harmony leading us to ultimate peace and success in life.

As such, the parents are the pace-setters of life, from the very inception of existence, to its very end. We have no time to waste. The world cries out loud for happiness. It is now our turn to make a justifiable difference at the level of the grass-roots, the family.

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

What is MInd?

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

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

Mind is Everything!

Mind, the immaterial sense organ

It sifts, it sorts, it reflects upon input

Of observable phenomena

By means of five environment senses, in kind

Mind, discerns motion

Through positions of change

Thus patterns defined

In eternal transience

The fact in life!

Mind discerns mind

The only organ

Having the capacity to invert its forces

To intuit, to examine, its own state of mind

As unit of mind

Mind, is motion alone - indiscernible to the eye, ear, nose, tongue, or touch

Mind of motion, the very consequence

Of fifty-two forces or energies - as currents of mind

Chief amongst them, seven common currents

Jointly, of active strength to define

Yet the greatest among them, of course

The evolution current, as the main spring of mind!

Releasing its force to six subsidiary currents

While they together, in turn, align

To sustain its rhythmic force, through 'each present', in time

This, the cause, the phenomenon

Self-perpetuating and pulsating the process of existence

In varying degrees and strengths of mind

The current of evolution

Surges, indeed, with three distinct forces of mind

As such, causing rotations of birth, existence, death in relay order, as beats of mind

As repository of diverse charges, of forces of mind

As diffuser, injector of systematic energy for varied functions of mind

The six other common currents, nonetheless

Springing into active force simultaneously with the evolution current

In rotations, unimaginable  beyond the speed of light

Maintain us in sleep state or dormant life

In waking life of active thought, or sensations

The seven common currents of mind

Bring forth six currents of supplement

To aid production of thought in kind

The thirteen currents in all

Spring in repetition to arrest thought

Thus, currents of thought occur

In waves of reflection, to ponder

These, in turn, may be broadly defined

As currents of purity, and those defiled

Three states of mind - pleasant, neutral, unpleasant

To accord with springing currents of purity, and defiled

Condition the evolution current,continually adjusting its strength, through the infinity of time

Thus, is the continuum of mind

As past-present-future in illusory time!

Mind - the primary factor of the universe - is the reflective organ and phenomenon that surpasses the speed of light!

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

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.

 

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

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.
