For he who does not know his own mind there is no use learning Buddhism

About Me

I'm a Buddhist. I'm making my life as calm as possible. I'm a follower of my teacher and Bondisattva, Andy : D He's my #2 friend, read his blogs! They're awesome!This song helped me turn to Buddhism Word of Wisdom - Everybody is Free to Wear Sunscreen

My Interests

I'm interested in Buddhism and everything about it. I'd like to feel the permanent compassion that a Bondisattva feels, but if I never do, I can live with that. I'm interested in learning all I can so I can help other people find the calmness I have, or succeed the calmness I have and become Bondisattva like my teacher.Other than that, I just like to kick back and enjoy life. If you've got any questions feel free to ask. And if you want any advice I give that, too.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has interest in meeting me.You have 50% chance of surviving a zombie out break.

Low: You were either to lazy to do anything or tried to do something heroic and killed yourself along with all of the people you were trying to protect.

One Part of Everything

I was going to walk to Gamestop tonight and get Fable 2. No one was going to give me a ride, and I loved the first game enough to go for a walk in the freezing cold. But then Superjail came on and the...

No Subject

It's starting to feel awkward when I perceive myself through my ego, as a collection of ideas, concepts, beliefs. I always knew I was more than that, as all people do; we're bodies as well as minds. B...

Give in

Surrender. Your body knows what it wants, and so does your mind. Give in, even if your ego makes you uncomfortable about it. Experience the moment fully, even if you want to avoid it. Namaste. - Wil...

Ego-Centric

The ego is an interesting thing. I don't have to much to say on it, but lately I've been butting heads with it, lightly, and have come to accept it a little more. It's hard to stay pissed at it, 'caus...

I heard about a psychic today, John Edward, who predicted the end of the world. It's not in 2012 and I guess won't be in an agonizing horrible catastrophe. It will be brief and painless. He wouldn't s...

Empty Mind

If it's not denying my feelings it's denying that I'm in denial, and being with someone who makes me unhappy just because it's familiar, or latching on to someone because she gave me kind words is fuc...

Chill With Zen

It's weird being against my ego and at the same time trying to accept it/form compassion for it. It feels paradoxical. But I've come to expect that sort of thing with zen, as a person who grew up with...

"Seduction is Violence"

... Seduction is aggression, and few of us have relaxed to the degree that we have left aggression behind. Consider the difference between flirtation and seduction. Flirtation is a two-way affair. It ...
