A message to haTers
Recent times have shown me a face I did not expect. Clearly have I seen your thoughts and feelings expressed. Do you not think it easy to peek?
You doubt me. It also seems that friendliness has given way to weariness. Worry not my friend because my best is yet to be complete. Controlling monotones have no hold on me. Word's will, could, never & wont defeat D.
Say what you say and do what you will. But ever consider a chill pill?
Take this public message thus created for those in Hate ,,I've always landed safe with little loss to my gait!
Trust and B sure this time will be the same as before.
All attacks are ````````````````````` and lacking..
In any after effect.

My Favorite Poem of all Time
*Invictus*
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
1849–1903

Buddhist Thought
When we learn to deal directly with our complaints and difficulties, romanticized ideas about the spiritual path are no longer meaningful. We see that what is important is to take responsibility for ourselves, and to always be aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. - Tarthang Tulku

Buddhist Thought
All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain? - Buddha

Buddhist Thought
In Buddhism, it is said that those who commit any of five grievous sins (gogyakuzai) invariably fall into the hells of incessant suffering. These five offences are: 1) killing one's father, 2) killing one's mother, 3) killing an arhat [a well accomplished monk or nun] 4) injuring a buddha, 5) causing disunity among the community of followers.
