Super Bowl today!!!

Post by bodom »

Anyone in the states watching? Go Saints!!!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

I guess that means by default that I'm hoping the Saints win too.

I watch the "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet.

as others are, so am I."
Having thus identified self and others,
harm no one nor have them harmed.

Go Saints!
“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.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

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