Tonight, picking a sutta at random, I re-read MN 26, Ariyapariyesana Sutta, "The Noble Search." Some very inspiring passages therein, and helpful reminders."Monks, there are these five strings of sensuality. Which five?

"I often ask people, 'Do you love life?' People say, 'Yeah, I lovelife.' Really? Or just half of life? The nice part? Do you love allof life? The sick times? The times when you get overworked in theoffice? The times when you get old? The time when loved onesdisappear from you? Do you love that part of life as well? Do youlove life when it's about time for you to die? Do you really lovelife?

One of the new translations by Andy Olendzki available at ATI is "Upon the Tip of a Needle," a beautiful poem (attributed to Ven. Sariputta) on the fleeting nature of experience.Life, personhood, pleasure and pain — This is all that's bound togetherIn a single mental event — A moment that quickly takes place.Even the spirits who endureFor eighty-four thousand aeons — Even these do not live the

This morning I was checking out the "What's New?" page at Access to Insight and found "Thoughts on the Dhamma" by the Mahasi Sayadaw, a collection of extracts from a variety of the venerable Sayadaw's sermons.Reading these extracts before starting my meditation put me into a very beneficial frame of mind, and it was a pleasure to use the Mahasi method, noting the rise and fall of the abdomen -- a

In this morning's email, the reading in "Daily Words of the Buddha" was an important verse from the Dhammapada:"Impermanent are all compounded things."When one perceives this with true insight,then one becomes detached from suffering;this is the path of purification.--Dhammapada 277Wanting to read this in context, I went to Access to Insight and read Ven.

I find my browser frequently re-visiting a site called Art Dorks, a small community of users with a shared interest in fine (and not-so-fine) art.

Todd Schorr's art can be located sqaurely within the movement known as "lowbrow" and "pop surrealism" (among other things). As with the work of Robert Williams, my admiration for the insanely visionary imagery and gorgeous rendering sits fidgeting alongside my claustrophobic discomfort with some of these over-populated canvases.Link

Hunter S. Thompson, Dead at 67 Author takes own life in "fortified compound."Bad craziness, indeed.We need to give him a viking funeral. Something savage and brutally inappropriate.

I've reached the end of one phase of my life, and now I'm trying my best to handle the transition ethically and with wisdom and compassion.I feel that my marriage did not end suddenly. On the contrary, it ended not with a bang but with a long series of whimpers moans, shouts, allegations and imprecations.I simply reached my own limit, you see. There is no rancor in my heart, just a deep

For my final project before leaving on Friday for a monthlong meditation retreat, I put together a mixed media hyperlinked piece incorporating prose and illustrations from my gallery. It put these past 2 months into narrative form, with pretty pictures.I thought it would be the summum bonum of my recent work, tying everything together into one beautiful, harmonious package. I loved it so. While I

Today has the interesting distinction of being both a sick day and a snow day, so I have even more excuses than usual to accomplish precisely nothing. It's funny: back in the day, when I was but a wee bairn, I LOVED getting sick, because it meant I could stay home from school and curl up on the couch and catch up on my reading and watch movies on HBO... In my unreliable memory, I see myself

This is shamelessly recycled from an email to my dear friend Sophie, who wrote something in response to my work in progress about horses. I wrote: That horse symbolism is very powerful, very deep. When I was very young, I took riding lessons -- because my sister did. She had a pony named Blaze, then later a horse named Kool. One day, I was bareback on a neighbor's horse in the ring, while my

Well, I'm getting a lot of negative responses (well, mainly from Gini and Sophie, really) about the inapproriateness of the anthropomorphized cat on the Temperance card (which is not just about balance but about tempering, alchemical mixing -- like anthropomorphism, y'know?) so I may be abandoning this version of Temperance and starting over from scratch.But I don't care what anybody else says,

In my dream, drilling into the marrow of my entire bone, my real dream, I'm walking up and down Beacon Hill searching for a street sign -- namely MERCY STREET. Not there. I try the Back Bay. Not there. Not there. And yet I know the number. 45 Mercy Street. I know the stained-glass window of the foyer, the three flights of the house with its parquet floors. I know the furniture

When I was meditating this morning, I was starting to get concentrated... and as often happens at that time, images started to arise, quick flashes like dream imagery. (I once talked to Leigh about this, and he says that this is not uncommon, it seems to happen with one of his students on every retreat -- and I recall something in Ajahn Maha Boowa's book saying that this happens to about 1 out

Since Flickr has flaked out, I've found a new way to get pictures up on this here blog: I email them directly to blogger, with the text of the email as the post and the attachment comes through. Sweet! Kudos to the Blogger folks; this is a first-rate web app.

Meditations recently have been somewhat bouncy and distracted -- look, a shiny thing! -- but today settled into a very pleasant experience, very much grounded in the body. Kept coming back to the heart center, breathing out the phrase, "May all beings be happy at heart." I feel very peaceful.

via the website of my teacher, Leigh Brasington Five things to do at the end of a sitting: 1. Recapitulation - what did I do and how did I get there 2. Impermanence - all these high, but mundane, states are now gone 3. Insights - did I get any; what were they 4. Dedicate the merit from this sitting for the liberation of all beings 5.

Apple Remote Desktop It may not be their sexiest product, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Apple's Remote Desktop. I can see what's going on on Gini's computer and help her if she's having trouble...

Auspicious My astrological reading from Barbara Ivacek, done on 1/14/05, is available for downloading as an MP3 in a zip archive here: reading.mp3 The zip file is a 46 Mb download, and the reading lasts approximately 56 minutes. And the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades... B-)
