pixie dust world tour: March 2009

http://pixiedustworldtour.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Pixie dust world tour. Pixie Dust: magic dust from a fairy or pixie that hypothetically allows humans to fly. Fly with me up and down the West Coast and beyond as I seek to love the earth and all its inhabitants in whatever way best fits this bodymind and its particular talents. Saturday, March 28, 2009. Ride 'em cowboys, cowgirls and cowkids! My sister, Jackie, invited me to the rodeo with box seats! You should have seen how fast everyone ran out when we heard the ice cream cart! Saturday, March 14, 2009.

Genjo Koan, one of the most-often quoted Zen texts | Dharmacore

https://dharmacore.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/genjo-koan-one-of-the-most-often-quoted-zen-texts

Buddhism for the web generation. Laquo; How can we wake up if we are bound by the inescapable law of karma, of cause and efect? By owning it completely. American Bhikkhuni Sangha builds a yurt for Vassa, supplies and donations still needed. Genjo Koan, one of the most-often quoted Zen texts. As all things are buddha-dharma, there is delusion and realization, practice, and birth and death, and there are buddhas and sentient beings. Yet in attachment blossoms fall, and in aversion weeds spread. When you se...

Bodhi Leaves: August 2009

http://bodhileaves.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Bodhi Leaves - Offerings and Reflections from the Buddhist West. Saturday, August 29, 2009. Adventures in the Divyavadana- Part I. Many of the great and influential works of Buddhist literature have already been translated into English (but we're still nowhere close to translating ALL of it.). Most of these works have been scriptures, like large chunks of the Pali Canon. The Perfection of Wisdom sutras. And the voluminous Avatamsaka Sutra. Let me be blunt; I'm a geek, a nerd, and a techno-wonk. As a ...

Don’t bother unless you must | freestyle awakening

https://freestyleawakening.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/dont-bother-unless-you-must

Don’t bother unless you must. May 9, 2012 in Awakening. I realized today that I spend most of my time on this blog talking about awakening and practices which can help the process along. What I don’t talk about is the fact that none of this is necessary. If awakening isn’t important to you, that’s fine! You’re no better, and no worse, than me. I’m no better, and no worse, than you. Those who don’t know, and don’t care, are the highest kind of Buddha. Awakening will not save you from anything. If you ...

Awareness as a measure for authentic spiritual experience | freestyle awakening

https://freestyleawakening.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/awareness-as-a-measure-for-authentic-spiritual-experience

Awareness as a measure for authentic spiritual experience. May 21, 2012 in Awakening. A good measure for determining whether so-called spiritual, religious, or mystical experiences are higer or lower than average, mundane experience, is this: is there more or less awareness? Some others might be. Is your way of participation that of blind impulsivity, or engaged spontaneity? Is your way of liberation one of fierce destruction, or creative dissolution? Do you feel specialness, or nobility? Are you struggl...
