prayers for me

Post by Anders »

I am facing some tough changes and decisions that require a fair bit of resolve to go through properly at the moment. No one is dying or anything, it is 'just' prayers for peace of mind and a wise and beneficial resolution.

Bcc: Guan-yin.

Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”

"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."

om ālolike svāhā!
"Men must want to do things out of their own innermost drives. People, not commercial organizations or chains of command, are what make great civilizations work. Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces. If you over-organize humans, over-legalize them, suppress their urge to greatness - they cannot work and their civilization collapses."

Hi Anders,

Many beautiful replies to your request. :twothumbsup:

Just saw your post.

Om AH Hum

Don't worry - everything will be ok.

Do you know how to use the I Ching?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ ... ition=used" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Used cost from $4.75.

If not, PM me and I can explain. I have been using it as an advisory, in difficult situations, since 1965. Wow - I am old.

:smile:

It is a book of wisdom, that no matter what reading you get, can give you a new perspective on your situation.

This is useful, as it suggests new possibilities, new ways of looking at things, and through this frees you from obsessive, circular thinking. Then at least, maybe you are freed from the, "suffering of suffering." :smile:

Best, ob

Om ma ni pad me hum. :meditate:
Although many individuals in this age appear to be merely indulging their worldly desires, one does not have the capacity to judge them, so it is best to train in pure vision.

I know the I Ching though I haven't used it in a long time. I think I will do so tonight though. Thanks.
