In memorium...Individual...
Today's his birthday...

What happened to him?
“Knowing that this body is just like foam,
understanding it has the nature of a mirage,
cutting off Māra’s flower-tipped arrows,
one should go beyond the King of Death’s sight.”

May he be truly happy, wherever he is.

To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

My merits I dedicate to you, Individual
For your benefit and welfare.

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Re-reading the above I seemed to have jumped the gun a week...although still an 'individual' worth remembering...

Sat here reading some poems, and between two, I saw this tread, and felt for sharing these words
(Ikkyu)Rain, hail, snow and ice:
All are different,
But when they fall
They become the same water
As the valley stream.
The ways of proclaiming
The Mind vary,
But the same heavenly truth
Can be seen
In each and every one.
Cover your path
With the fallen pine needles
So no one will be able
To locate your
True dwelling place.
If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care for you
We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing
- Roger Waters
