The Importance of Love

Love is a blessed mystery
It is like gravity: vast, invisible, the unstoppable force that connects all things.

Planetary line up

Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn line up once in three decades

Spiritual Practice

"The foundation of all spiritual practice is love. That you practice this well is my only request."
--His Holiness the Dalai Lama

The importance of intention

Intention is the core of all conscious life. It is our intentions that create karma, our intentions that help others, our intentions that lead us away from the delusions of individuality toward the immutable verities of enlightened awareness. Conscious intention colours and moves everything.

~ Master Hsing Yun, "Describing the Indescribable"

Watch yourself

It is not proper to watch other people. This will not help your practice. If you are annoyed, watch the annoyance in your own mind.

Change

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."

~ William James

Thoughts

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

--the Buddha

Spring

A little Madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King.
--Emily Dickinson

Tuesday and Wednesday

Yesterday was a day of getting up to date with post, e-mails and pastoral work by telephone. This afternoon I'll be at the Uni, seeing students and staff.
