Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Cosmos Deep

2012-01-21T15:46:00.000-08:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

A Vast and Infinite Self-propellant Being

Analogous to a machine composed of myriad wheels

Ranging from infinitely large to infinitesimally small

Proportions to conceive

Simultaneously engaged and propelled through interdependence

As deemed

Shrinking with the infinity of contraction, and expanding to the infinity of expansion

To say least!

Each portion of cosmos, in its own right - a wheel

Is part of the entirety indeed!

Embodying an infinity of infinitely contracted portions

Of the vast and deep

Each minute wheel in rotation, just a miniature universe of great concentration

The whole, as such, a conglomeration

Of miniature universes in varying proportions

The most powerful, yet, the smallest to conceive

Are wheels of mind as units of being

Sustained through birth-death revolutions infinite

Propelled by seven common currents of mind

As beats of mind in continuum - beyond speed of light

Each beat of mind, thus, a rotation

In the larger wheel, called 'unit of being'

Its speed - three billionth the duration of a flash of lightening

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Infinity of Natural Potential

2011-12-29T12:25:00.000-08:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Self Nature Vast and Supreme!

Self Nature, its virtues, infinite
Self Nature, a field of all possibilities, as truth defined
Self Nature, emanating vibrations as phenomena, in kind
Self Nature, all-encompassing wisdom compassion - immeasurable, unbounded - as existence in this moment, infinite
Self Nature, the source and culmination of ten realms of existence that range from 'purity to defiled'
Self Nature, as six realms of desire, and four sage-like - these to arise as states of mind
Self nature, mirrors inconceivable, unfathomable, wondrous vitality, non-contrived

Such is The Great Self, of Great Compassion, as Wisdom Infinite!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Moment Mind

2011-11-29T17:14:00.000-08:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Infinite!

Each still moment, infinite and complete

Contains it all - the tapestry of life and being

Thus, is the entirety

Both enlightened, and unenlightened, unique

Moment mind = 1/infinite time

Moment mind = 1/infinity

Contemplate, meditate deep

Such is the basis for wisdom, compassionate indeed

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Four Universal Vows of Awakened Beings

2011-11-29T16:56:00.000-08:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

In My Own Words

Sentient Beings are Innumerable
I vow to help them all

Afflictions are inexhaustible
I vow to end them all

Ways to practice benevolence are boundless
I vow to master them all

Enlightenment is beyond all expressions
I vow to find my true nature
with diligence and insight
This, my life call

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Mind and Matter Share One Nature

2011-10-31T14:53:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Simultaneously and Repetitiously

Matter evolves from mind, and dissolves into the spaciousness of mind.
Thus, mind is matter, and matter is mind.

The crux of the matter is that mind endures,
but matter evolves and dissolves.

Mind is the womb of all events in life
as they evolve to dissolve, and dissolve to evolve.

Mind-events - the objects of mind - arise and dissolve incessantly,
conditioned by the scheme of global interdependence
as 'being or non-being'.

Mind and matter are, thus, an inseparable union, and
a continuum of 'emptiness and appearance' - as
they fashion each other relentlessly.

Mind contains the entire cosmos as 'mind, and objects of mind'.
It is the paradox of 'one and many, at once'.
What a wondrous marvel!

Mind, 'the ocean' vast and supreme, flows incessantly.
Its waves of life merge into one another through interdependence.
LOVE, as 'compassionate activity', pervades it all.

Essentially, mind and matter share one nature, as 'ocean and waves'
Mind's balance, though, may only be sustained with investigative insight.

We, together, are the waves
relentlessly merging into one another
as 'the individual' and 'the collective'.

Let not be caught up by 'the currents and waves' of our thoughts.
Experience the depth of the ocean in this very moment.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Mind Tamed

2011-10-25T17:53:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

From Darkness to Brilliance

Brilliance is the presence of higher mind.
It is the spontaneous emanation of virtuosity
when we, as parents and elders, display an attitude of equality
towards all things and events that manifest
as 'phenomena' in the universe.

Indeed, it is in our best interest
to model life-experience with radiance,
~ by way of body, speech, and mind ~
consequently, to epitomize LOVE without conditions.

The children, in turn, will only reflect
the wisdom of our compassion
by giving us a safe return of what we give to them.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Grand Scheme of Benevolence

2011-09-28T15:35:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Nature of Our Universe

Charity is the nature of our universe.

All events in life obey this grand scheme of benevolence,

in one form or another.

Human reason and intention, however, defy this wisdom

- more often than not - due to self absorption.

In the process, we disturb the balance and order within the totality

of bio-rhythmic phenomena.

It is time for us to wake up from our human dream!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Emptiness Supreme!

2011-09-19T22:32:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Such, is the meaning of Universe!

A vessel's importance is its emptiness to hold,

But neither its name, nor form

Thus, it fulfills its purpose by its emptiness

All of name and form - as universe - is devoid of intrinsic substance

Other than the role it fulfills momentarily

Through interdependent co-origination

Best described as global co-existence

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Mind of One and Many

2011-09-11T16:07:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Such is the paradox of one and many at once!

As ground and being of coarse, gross nature

As water and waves, or waves upon water

As Fires of life, and transformation

As breath of being, of all-pervasive vitality, the embodiment

As space the womb of celestial and terrestrial wonder

Thus is reality inseparable and indivisible

Spurred by interdependent co-origination, as global co-existence

Thus is the personal and universal, as self within selflessness

As Mind obstructed, in delusion, within the unobstructed

Realization pivotal to the attainment of balance and order

Peace and success, then, the truth and revelation

No mystery to life, but reverence to nature

Is the unstinting truth or the resolute law of phenomenal motion

Mind, Great Self, or Universe

Call by any name

Stands for its wisdom, ultimate

Compassion Luminous
Its true name, untainted!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

My World, My Universe

2011-08-28T23:49:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Does it lie within or without?

Caused and driven by passion while longing for 'a state of permanence'

Caused and driven by aversion being drowned in 'a sense of self'

Caused and driven by delusion, over-seeing existence in 'the present' or 'the here and the now'

Such is the world as 'personal'

Constantly drenched with feelings, rapidly intermittent

Of wholesome, unwholesome, and neutral nature

Reality, though, called 'life' stemming from such neutral nature

Projecting the falsity of permanence

From a past to a future, through time immemorial

Such is personality, in kind

As bundled-up memories
Supported by physical frameworks through space-time

The ever-reeling afflicted mind

The world is the passing dream of human kind

Trapped in the field of duality,
As 'self' (the past) and 'other' (the future), in guise

Through sheer inability to conceive

The indivisibility between all things, indeed

As 'this moment' alone, the universe

The 'one', in the all' and 'all', in the one' to be observed

Self projects the world, psycho-physical

Selflessness pervades the 'universe', as truth, ultimate

'Within' or 'without', as such, the paradox of vacillating mind

Insight, the key to enlightened mind!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Four Immeasurable Abodes of Peaceful Being

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

'The Bliss of Awakened Awareness'

Such is universal LOVE, as unconditional LOVE, embracing all of living kind

Such is compassion, embracing all beings in distress

Such is sympathetic joy, as appreciative joy, embracing the successful and the prosperous

Such is equanimity, embracing the desirable and the undesirable without distinction

Thus are the four noble abodes of enlightened mind

Paradise on earth may only be experienced through investigative contemplation leading to insightful transformation

Begin your human mission to peace and success today!

On His Birthday

My reverent dad

His rich imprints
Of higher awareness,
That, of poise
And solemnity, been laid
Forever, in my heart

He, the unknown hero
- To world -
Who epitomized passivity and humility
Towards all in kind
Both sentient, and otherwise
Walked this Earth
Once upon a time!

This, my cherished memory
from being infant, child, youth
And, as such, through adult life!

Now, I hold the reality
Of being his continuation
As, I nurture my nature
With all-embracing LOVE
Touching others who cross my path
Through each infinite moment, in flux
As 'here and now'

How marvelous it would be
For the good of universal life
To find the blessing of compassion,
In action
Modeled by every parent, in kind
This, the sublime truth
To raise humanity from afflicted mind!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Great Love and Great compassion

2011-05-28T12:41:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

In this Moment of 'Suchness'

Everything's substance is one substance

"Thus, I am the universe; the universe is me"

It is the primary point to remember!

The one substance, the essential point

Is devoid of origination and cessation

It has no name, no form; no speech, no words!

This point of neither beginning, nor ending

Is the seed syllable of infinite potential

It is this moment - whole and complete - with no attachment to name and form!

It is this 'moment mind' that sees, hears, smells, tastes, and touches 'the truth'

It fulfills its function with relevance to the situation, without aim!

It is 'great love' and 'great compassion' in action!

This primordial state of mind

May only be ascertained with mindfulness of a threefold nature

As Great Faith - one-pointed effort

As Great Courage - persistence, perseverance in maintaining mind-body-spirit equipoise

As one Great Question through Eternity - true nature without inclusions of thought

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Hello dear parent friends of the web!

Earth mother, provider of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE to the children of the planet

It is about the happiness of all beings sentient, as one standard!

The tree of life, of eternity, after all, rests upon earth, it deserves our reverence!

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

As Wisdom-Compassion

Beings and forms are innumerable

I aspire to help them all

Afflictions are inexhaustible

I aspire to end them all

Ways to practice are boundless

I aspire to master them all

Transformation is unsurpassable

I aspire to dwell in LOVE, unconditional

This, my life mission, above all!

Knowledge Gained

2011-03-16T17:56:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

A Two-dimensional Experience!

Knowledge of Acquired Learning
Intelligence of the lowest order

Powered from without
Tainted by conventional thought
Confused by ideals of representation
Misguided by objective analysis
Grounded upon standardization
Diffused by segmentation of reality
Thus, consequential incoherence
Breeding ground of negative habitual patterns and energies
as envy, jealousy, and other competitive traits

Knowledge of Acquired Learning
Intelligence of the lowest order

Of coercion, imposition, enforcement, and competition
Devoid of inner direction
Lacking inspiration and heartfelt motivation
Ever-waning in mental affliction

Knowledge Gained through the Cultivation of Wisdom
Intelligence of the Highest Order

Motivated from within
To remain in mindfulness of morality
Or moral sensitivity
Rooted in compassionate understanding
when 'the self' is dispelled while seeing through the eyes of 'sentient all'

Knowledge Gained through the Cultivation of Wisdom
as Intelligence of the Highest Order

Is the bliss of a joyful inner world
Filled with the highest of aspirations and intentions
To remain in service to all
without exceptions, judgments, and contradictions

Happiness and contentment of the outer world is a direct consequence of the inner world.

The discrepancy between the world of representation (the outer)
and the world of reality (the inner) is the gap that must be dissolved with mindfulness.

Selfless service as opposed to self-enrichment
must be our highest human ideal. Recognition of this truth will only illumine one's experience of world.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Reality and Representation

2011-02-10T20:18:00.001-08:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Linked by Interdependence

Reality, none other than...

Emptiness ~ luminous
Wisdom ~ compassion
Infinite potential
Momentous, bare-perception
Untainted by valuations
Uncolored by thought
A whole as 'here and now'
This moment sacred
Undifferentiated!

Representation, none else but...

Name and form
Valuations and imputations
Multiplicity and diversity
Dualistic interpretations
Self and other
Subjective, objective
Confusion and diffusion
In space-time continuum
Trapped in the gap
Between 'a past' and 'a future'

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

World Within, and the World Without

2011-02-03T20:43:00.000-08:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Paradox of Life!

Life beholder, is world within
Of being, of form
Such are emotions, akin

Of Passion, aversion, delusion
the dream within
In myriad guises
unenlightened being

Dark shadows of being
do bring undue tension
as heaving waves upon
mind itself, vast ocean

Hues of light
Of speckled brilliance
Must be nurtured with love
With, mindful concentration

Together, as such, are beings
Of mental affliction
Fleeting, surreal
let not be caught up
by mind's own fiction

Wholesome, unwholesome
being of spontaneous nature
await being treated
with tender, loving attention

Attitude of acceptance and
acknowledgment " this too shall pass "
Is key notion, of no defection
Such is truth ultimate
Wish-less, aimless
of placid perfection

This, the realization
of world within

Is path to peace eternal
in world, without - no sin!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

What constitutes Mental Consciousness?

2010-12-05T16:13:00.000-08:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

A Reflection

Mental Consciousness
The immaterial, sixth sense organ
Apprehending its objects in two fields
Both material and immaterial

Mental Consciousness
Its objective field
Of engagement and reflection
Influenced by subjective dispositions
As concepts, memories, emotional states, or perception

Mental Consciousness
Responsive to bare perception
Of material consciousness
Gained through five-sense doors
Of passive reception
To sense impressions
Of waking moments

Mental consciousness
Whose object is a moment
Of perceptual mental consciousness
That precedes the arising
Of conceptual mental consciousness

The image of world and its creation
Are none other than
The momentary arising and ceasing
Of five material sense perceptions
And mental perception
Engaged, in collaboration

Cognition and its constitution
As perceptual and/or conceptual
Are merely the raw images of sense perception
Forever overlooked and tainted
With concepts, memories and emotions
From the side of their observer

Let not the volatile tides of thought
Contaminate the fleeting wakefulness
Of bare perception

'Pure presence' or mindfulness
is key
Towards the crystallization
Of mental consciousness

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Kindness, Glorious

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

To Transcend all Tides of Existence

Kindness, the miracle - the timeless wonder
Kindness, the ageless joy - in surrender
Kindness, one momentous attitude - in life adventure
Kindness, thus, to surpass egoistic nature

Kindness, but none else, is power
Kindness, devoid of ego, truly does matter
Kindness, through every breath, of experience
Kindness, to condition 'the vast being' called, interdependence

Kindness, the abode - immeasurable
Kindness, the dwelling place - of saintly composure
Kindness, its win is aimless
Kindness, the way to victory in life, effortless!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Composites of Change

2010-10-12T15:51:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

In Ceaseless Origination and Cessation

Phenomena, as composites of change
In cyclical continuum, to originate and wane

Phenomena, without and within
Mere sensory perceptions in rapid transforming

Phenomena, the magic show of sense impressions
Bringing birth to death
Thus, death to birth
As events of the senses

Phenomena, when conditions align
To bring about marvels of cosmic design

Phenomena, as inner or outer
Are none other than being personal or universal

Phenomena, as subjective, objective
A matter of perception within one unity and simplicity

Phenomena, in myriad formations and dis-integrations
As being or non-being
For reflection, introspection

Phenomena, when conditions arise
Or empty essence, luminous, when conditions defy

Crave not in vain, and cling not, to dancing patterns
Of effervescence, or playful wakefulness
This, the miracle, called existence
To summarize!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

What is Personality?

2010-10-05T17:38:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

A Five Step Process...Simply Said!

To co-originate, to co-exist, to partake

As form - of sense attributes, the case

As Feeling - of pleasant, unpleasant or neutral mindset

As Perception - of likes and dislikes, as such, to discriminate

As conception, cognizance, or mental formations - of ideas, notions,

concepts, beliefs and emotions to reign

Finally, for consciousness to prevail

Personality, thus, a myth of mind, for goodness sake!

An illusory process of five aforementioned aspects at interplay

Wake up to reality

It is the incessant magical dream of sensory input-output

And the evolving consciousness called brain!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Universe - Its Preservation and Destruction

2010-08-08T23:29:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

From the Perspective of Human Sentience

Human Perception

- a process spurred by a network of collective neuronal activity -

Human Perception

- unique to the human species -

Human perception

- perpetuated, indeed, by diverse cravings -

Human perception

- trapped within six sense faculties of operation -

Human perception

- thus driven by unguarded sensuality -

Human perception

- steered by egocentricity -

Human perception

- to be transcended through investigative insight and introspection alone!

Essentially,

The universe, is the manifestation of human consciousness

The universe, as manifested and experienced, corresponds to human
awareness through linguistic elaborations

The universe - a field of designations and representations - is none other than
conventional relativity

The universal order and chaos
is a direct reflection of ever prevalent personal and universal compassion

The universe is communicative of the aura of its inhabitants

The universe is selfless and wondrous by nature -
giving and receiving LOVE as unbroken causal chains of being and becoming

Universal preservation, hence, is our collective responsibility

Universal destruction, in retrospect, is our collective ignorance

The Reason...

Human evolution and advancement continues through exploitation and
destruction of the living environment - of being and form

The environment of being and form, on the other hand, collectively exists as
'prey' or 'predator' guided by natural instinct... checking and balancing the
equation called 'life' without undue destruction

Human beings, nevertheless, brood hopelessly over their self-serving
interests... and the inevitable retributive consequences of their choices

The 'free-will' as human endowment awaits to be exercised...
in reverence to all beings and forms in existence that are linked by the 'life-
breath of interdependence'

To Sum Up...

The universe - its preservation and destruction - is the wake-up call and
responsibility of the human species and no other!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Hence, Our Human Mission is...

... to understand LOVE

... to cherish life in service to others

... to cultivate loving kindness towards all beings and forms that, together, share the one breath of the universe

... to view the inseparability and interdependence of all things and events
in the manifest world of name and form

...to ascertain the only TRUTH - the one substance - that lies beneath all linguistic designations

... to transcend self-gratifications

... to become selfless as opposed to being selfish

... to observe the ephemeral nature of all events in 'the dream of life'

... to be solely engaged in activities of benevolence

... to dwell in compassion to all in existence

... to remain in sympathetic joy for the well-being of others

... to rest the mind in the peaceful abode of non-discrimination

... to never be caught up by fleeting mental constructs

... to become aware of the perpetual fruits - of body, speech and mind - that manifest as universe

... to improve the quality of overall phenomenal consciousness - both personal and universal - by the choices we make

... to understand the supreme cosmic principles at work

... to become a witness to the morally ordered universe

... to WAKE UP in our spiritual human embodiment

The Aspiration of Nobility

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

To be

Cleansed of

The Six Dusts

of Self-Perpetuation

See not... with eyes of envy, jealousy, animosity or woe

Hear not...words of harming any or all, in kind

Smell not...the scents and odors of self-gratification

Taste not...any more than necessary for sustenance

Touch not...with thoughts of lust or illwill

Think not...so as to set the mind free of afflictions

The six dusts of perception

accumulated over time immemorial

perpetuates the composite memory or consciousness, called 'self' or 'other'

The universe, as we experience, is...

the objective reality or field of operation of the six senses

Thus, consciousness and universe steer each other

They are one and many at once!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Four Immeasurable Abodes of Love

2010-07-14T07:53:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Never Forsake True LOVE for Lust!

Loving kindness

Immeasurable selflessness

Compassion

The capacity to feel the pain of all sentient beings and forms while seeing through their eyes of perception

Sympathetic Joy

Taking equal joy in others happiness

Equanimity

The mind of balance and equality that experiences the one substance of LOVE as wisdom-compassion beneath unenlightened existence

Therefore,

Cling no more to lust that perpetuates unenlightened being called 'I', 'My' 'Me' or 'Mine'

Transcend all passions of life with investigative insight

Let us return to our original nature that surpasses all differentiations which, together, bring about the myth called 'world'

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help!

Where lies the Dream of Existence?

2010-07-04T23:47:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Six Faculties of Life's Revolution

Existence - non existence
Birth - death
Appearance - disappearance
Emergence - dissolution
Coming - going
Beginning - ending
Origination - cessation

As name and form
As chains of causation
From phenomena to noumena and vice-versa
As world, or universe

Entrapped within six fields of perception
As sense bases, sense objects, and sense consciousnesses
Called 'eighteen elements of being'

Such is the revolving dream, upon dream
Of life, momentary
Of life, transient
Of life, ephemeral
As a phantom, a dew drop, a bubble, a torrent
A spark, or a bolt of lightening, indeed!

Thus, never the same in any two moments
But, in flux, without permanence
Are life's embodiments
As 'passengers in transit', to say least!

Thus, is all of existence
Thus, is the truth to be told!
Thus, is the flickering field of relativity
Held within the chambers of perception...
The six faculties!

Guard them
And let not be carried away
By shadows of thought or hues of emotion
As 'craving or clinging' and 'attachment or grasping'

The dreams are incessant
As pleasant or unpleasant
Constructive or destructive
Non-violent or violent
Satisfactory or non-satisfactory
All to be propagated by degrees of lust
Of perception

Transcendence through contemplation
Through introspection
Through meditation
Through insight
Will lead to the one truth
That lies beyond 'birth and death' of perception
The ultimate nature of being

The mirror of luminous awareness
Unborn and undying
At the heart of all pervasive Wisdom-Compassion
Or true mind, serene!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Sublime Truth

One 'suchness'
One 'essence'
One 'substance'

One 'mind' as all things - just this moment
One 'cosmos' that sees - neither a past, nor a future

All things - just the same thing - as confused, diffused energy

All that exists, thus, within the purview of One Supreme Universal Mind

Of Wisdom~Compassion!

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Universal and Personal Co-existence

Interpenetration of stillness and dynamism
- the ground -

Co-existence of enlightened being and unenlightened activity
- the truth -

Interwoven wisdom of empty essence and dancing
waves and patterns of thought
- the reality -

Intercepting moment mind (transcending space and time) and dualistic awareness (trapped in 'a past' and 'a future')
- the human condition -

Inseparable wisdom-compassion and confused energy, as ignorance
- the universal order -

All-pervasive spaciousness and luminosity, emanating
the adornments of incessant transience
- the spontaneous revelation -

Intertwining of 'the absolute' and 'the relative'
- the nature of mind -

Wondrous nature, thus, as the field of direct experience in the moment
is...
the ground of enlightenment

Wondrous nature, as the field of representations and conceptual designations is...
the ground of ignorance

Such is reality - the twofold principle!

The Grand Scheme of Causality

Cosmos...a vast and inconceivable reservoir of whirling and vibrating energy fields

Cosmos... an unfathomable maze of spiraling and intercepting waves and frequencies

Cosmos... a whirlpool of forces - as interfacing patterns of vibratory sound and psychedelic light

Cosmos...with neither center nor circumference, but a multidimensional energy body - as the supreme aura of light

Cosmos... A pregnant void, a matrix, a continuum of beginning-less, endless whirls of oscillating energy - from the coarsest to the subtlest tiers

Cosmos...of diverse charges and their rates of vibration

Cosmos... a spectrum of transformational waves, frequencies, and patterns - the sharper to penetrate the denser, by law of nature

Cosmos...of unfathomable radiance and unbounded dynamism

Cosmos...of co-existent interdependence

Cosmos... yet, the ocean in the stillness of this moment!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Mind - A Spectrum of Hues

Nature of mind, switching channels, in kind
Tainted by perception through each moment, in time

Nature of mind, a river of being
Forever replenished with thoughts, to say least

Nature of mind, of luminous clear light
Intercepted by shadows of emotional tide

Nature of mind, of three-natures, despite
Wholesome, unwholesome, or indeterminate guise

Nature of mind, a spectrum of hues
From brilliance to darkness, when confused

Nature of mind, mirror of clarity, sublime
Emanating erratic patterns of afflicted mind

Nature of mind, in space and time
Ranging along four directions as, herein, defined

From brilliance to darkness, sometimes
From darkness to brilliance, other times
From darkness to more darkness, still some other times

Then, From Brilliance to more brilliance
While awakened, in time!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Wisdom, the primordial mind - devoid of all thought

Wisdom, the moment mind
Wisdom, the still mind - beyond space and time
Wisdom, the undifferentiated mind

Wisdom, the mind that surpasses the intellect
Wisdom, the mind that surpasses linguistic designations
Wisdom, the mind beyond reason
Wisdom, the mind of clarity unclouded by thought

Wisdom-Compassion the absolute truth

Wisdom-Compassion, the ground

Of two faces - as source and culmination - of all phenomena

Nature Eternal, Nature Ephemeral - The Two Faces of One Truth

2010-04-26T18:18:00.000-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Morality, Eternal

Life is to transience
Transience is to transformation
Transformation is to evolution
Evolution is to preservation
Preservation is to dissolution
Dissolution is to cessation
Cessation certain, yet erratic and unpredictable
- is to re-appearance

Re-appearance as manifest nature
is to dominant causes and conditions

Dominant causes and conditions spurred to the surface
by latent energies of body- speech- mind
stored and preserved in the repository of consciousness

Latent energies
as volitional imprints or karmic potentials
brought to fruition
- by cooperative physical causes and conditions -
through body, speech, and mind

Body, speech, and mind, forever tainted
Leaving behind volitional imprints that, in turn, are
carried across time
over heaving waves and patterns
of formation, disintegration, and transformation

Heaving waves and patterns
of formation, disintegration, and transformation
colored and conditioned by quality of mind

Quality of mind, indeed
Await being purified
to its highest degree
through morality, divine

Morality
Is through eternity

Wake up
To transcendent reality

Cessation, the order of universal phenomena

Cessation, though, imminent - without speculation

Morality, Eternal

Cessation, Ephemeral!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Human Grasping - Four in Kind

2010-04-18T09:58:00.001-07:00

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Self Perpetuation

Mindfulness is to moral sensitivity, thus morality

Morality frees the mind from mundane attachments

Freedom, as selfless or spacious nature, extracts misconceptions
- or mind's appropriations by conviction -

Thus, the engine of cyclic existence loses its fuel,
the worldly attachments and aversions
that, together, sustain its misguided power - known as ignorance

Craving for desirable sensations, and craving against undesirable sensations
no longer prevail

Consequentially, the four forms of attachment
or clinging, such as:

grasping at sensory objects,
grasping at sensory views
grasping at self righteousness
grasping at the deluded view of a self

are eradicated

The mind that transcends

- the above delusions -

becomes truly awakened!

Breath of Being

An infinite vibration conditioned with uniqueness

A subtle melody conditioned by transience

A wave continuum conditioned by degrees of LOVE

A free spirit conditioned by thought

A primordial freshness conditioned by causes

and conditions

- as scents or odors -

A rhythmic pattern conditioned by the beat

of the heart

A spectrum of color from brilliance to darkness

conditioned by emotions

- some one hundred and twenty one -

Breath, the precursor to all that exists

What a vast spectacle of Being!

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Unobstructed Awareness is Wisdom

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
A vast web of name and form
As field of representations

Awareness of the inner

Purity and luminosity of mind unfathomable

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Defined by language and designations

Awareness of the inner
Essence primordial
of wisdom-compassion

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Limited by the physical quality of the viewing apparatus

Awareness of the inner
Unbounded, inconceivable, and unfathomable

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Tainted by preconceived notions and interpretations

Awareness of the inner
All pervasive attention in the moment

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Forever colored by estimations,calculations, analysis, and judgment

Awareness of the inner
Mind absolute, undifferentiated

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Impermanent through transience - thus ephemeral

Awareness of the inner
Mirror wisdom
Unobstructed by shadows befallen

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Never the same in the river of name and form
In any two moments

Awareness of the inner
Luminous empty essence unaltered

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Conditioned by valuations of convention
As imputations

Awareness of the inner
Unconditioned by vibrations

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Vacillating between a past and a future

Awareness of the inner
The wholeness of this moment

Knowledge of the outer as sensory experience
Blinded by ignorance
Of egocentric human fiction

Awareness of the inner

Devoid of mental factors and Inclusions

Wisdom awakened!

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Legacy of Family

Conditioning begins with the family
The source and culmination of one's human culture

Conditioning has its foundation within the sphere of parenting
The parents are the powerful pace-setters
Of all intellectual and spiritual acquisitions

Conditioning bears the inevitable marks of ancestry
The daunting truth of parental heritage

Conditioning, indeed, as external
Through society's diverse channels

- By way of family circle, community, civic club,
Educational institutions, in kind
Town, city, state, nation or worldwide -

to hold secondary importance
in carving or shaping 'the form'
- both psycho-physical and cultural -
That parents, alone, created

Conditioning from family, thus
As values of home-life experience
Surpasses all efforts to educate
This, the stubborn truth
Overlooked, as convenience!

Thoughtful acts of body, speech, mind
Nurtured from the very inception of life
Are roots of success in humankind!

The parents are the makers
of the child!

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Beneath Multiplicity and Diversity

Lies One Substance

We are linked to all beings on our planet by breathing

We are emotional beings of varying types, degrees, and propensities

We are beings of diverse configurations, perceptions, and aptitudes

Despite all differences, we naturally wish for happiness and evade suffering

We are indivisibly connected to all beings and forms through interdependence

We all share the atoms of the universe

We all bear the history of the cosmos

How can we possibly overlook that others feel pain as much as we do?

How can we overlook that we are in it together, manifesting one vast being?

How may we look deep to heal our confusions?

It is time to transcend self-grasping and craving.

It is in our best interest to shun the walls of mind, dispelling all ties to name and form

Then, there lies the wisdom of luminosity

Compassion pervades it, all!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

A Post Valentine's Day Reflection

Friendship is not to demarcate time or occasion
but to rest in the field of timelessness and agelessness

Friendship is not to be measured
but to be expressed as unconditional love or profound respect

Friendship is not for selfish reasons or gains
but for being rooted in the ground of selflessness

Friendship is not to be tainted by attitude
but to be humbled by compassion

Friendship is not about selection
but about acceptance and inclusiveness

Friendship, above all,
is the vast reservoir of equality

The Way We Perceive World

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Reflections Through Introspection

The world is an image of our thought

Our mental constructs are
imprints of our exterior world
laid on our neuronal network

The divide between interior and exterior is an illusion;
interdependence is the interface that unites
subject - an assumed self or a conglomerate
entity of memories - with
object - the sensory field of perception

The dichotomy between self and other 'as world' is
the fundamental state of ignorance
of the human condition that is trapped
within a false sense of duality

The truth is a paradox
All in the one, or one in the all
It is no one way, or the other
but, both at the same time

Consciousness
Thus, is an interpenetration of both

The world as seen
Through the eyes of Physics or Mathematics
Is a mere interpretation
Of the interdependence that lies
Within consciousness as a whole

Now, it is our turn to look deep
Reality will then be the revelation!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Consciousness Inhabits A Morally Ordered Universe!

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Cosmic Marvel of Conditioned Being and Becoming

Our universe, indeed, an unbroken continuum
A matrix - vast and supreme
Inconceivable, unfathomable
Beyond human speculation

Our universe, indeed, a consciousness continuum
Perpetuated by 'will' of the ego
- Beyond human understanding -
As sensory perception

Our universe, indeed, of pristine moral wisdom
A reflection of subliminal checks and balances
Of cosmic order
To portray 'fruits' as consequences
To mirror the 'seed' acts of volition

Our universe, an autonomous field
Where ignorance or consciousness as 'seed'
Unfolds through craving as 'moisture'
Thereby, the twin roots of self-perpetuation

Our universe depicts the intrinsic order
Of cosmic intelligence
Trumpeting the potential of volitional action
Blinded by delusion
Evanescent as 'fruits' of deeds
By the moral principle of interdependence

Our universe reflects the aura
Of its trinity of being
As essence, energy, or matter
Of incessant becoming

Emanating vibrations
From higher to lower order
Intercepting dynamically
To bring forth consequences
Of volition, latent and present
Ethically held accountable

Our universe, thus, in its nature of sentient being
Is conditioned, perpetuated and regulated
By diverse orders of causation and layering
Thus, the higher to hold dominion
Over the lower orders
Of physical biological scenes
Bending their energies in fulfillment
Of their intrinsic potential, as deemed

Our universe, though, a single matrix - all-embracing
As interwoven streams of consciousness
Of all living beings
These integrated fields of energy
Crisscrossing, overlapping and merging
In fulfillment of causation and redemption
By twin roots of ignorance and craving

Our universe and consciousness - self propellant
Coexist in relationship of their mutual creation

Consciousness, the forerunner
As activity of mind or volitional stock
Steers each stream of perpetuation
From 'past to future'
Of 'being and becoming'
As seeds and fruits of actualization

Altruistic intention
In the wake of freedom, exercised
Through each breath of being
Leads the human condition
Onward to self awakening

Ultimate peace, when 'self' is dispelled
The liberation from suffering!

What is Science? Has Science Made us A Better Humanity?

2010-01-31T09:26:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

SCIENCE

A vision of the outer - of objective realities

A vision as a map to the universe

A vision of the mechanics of matter

A vision, quantitative - limited to experimentation based on measurement, analysis, and judgment

A vision based on observation, confirmation and verification of phenomena limited to the instruments of human potential

A vision, always, of theories, predictions and hypotheses often deeply influenced by scientists metaphysical viewpoints

A vision of constant interaction between theory and observation

A vision influenced by interpretation, status and conformity but not always by critical observation

A vision of agreement between scientific human egos

A vision of incompleteness - as theories to unveil parts of reality within the peripheries of conceptual thought

A vision of fundamental limitation in the structure of reasoning - of linear thought and discursive logic based on sense perception alone

A vision of convenience in convention as uses and abuses

Upon overall examination,

Has science made us a better society with compassionate values?

Has science awakened humanity with moral sensitivity toward the preservation of our earth's resources and its inhabitants?

All said, has science answered the real question of lasting happiness and suffering in humanity?

Reality

Is it the shared experience of consciousness of similar kinds?

Reality

Is it the fashioning of ageless collective mind?

Reality

Is it the speculation of the human condition?

Reality

Of wisdom-compassion

Mind untainted
Of empty essence - undifferentiated

Mind of truth
Beyond space and time - nor perception

Mind ultimate
Of liberation to perfection

Mind delusive
A spectrum from dark to light

Mind though potent
Yet confused, and volatile

Mind discursive
Thus to spur thought, word, and deed, in kind

Mind as matter
Or matter of mind, conditioning the river of life

Mind of three natures
Wholesome, unwholesome and indeterminate
Of diverse modes and fields of representation

Mind ceaselessly at unrest
Switching channels as modes of mindset
Alas, it is by myth of perception but none else
As mind imputes valuations upon life events, through ignorance

Mind, its modes
Of course, as reactive, emotional
Some one hundred and twenty one
As spectrum of color from brilliance to none

Are thoughts that flicker - hither thither
In oblivion to innermost direction, to sum

Universe - A Chain Unbroken

2010-01-04T14:01:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Universe, a vast flow of events linked together in participation with one another

Universe, an unbroken chain of phenomena best described as interdependent co-origination, wherein reality as a whole is present in each of its parts

Universe, wherein things exist in relationship to others, in mutual causality

Universe, where no existence is autonomous or immutable

Universe, wherein all realities are aggregations of causes, conditions, and effects of causes by means of interdependence alone

Universe, wherein all objects of perception succumb to origination and cessation - as 'appearance and disappearance' in cyclic continuum - analogous to two blades that sharpen each other

Universe, wherein all things - from the microscopic quark to the macroscopic galaxies - are arising, moving and evolving, subsiding, and dissolving through time and space as gross and subtle impermanence.

Universe, which is the field of infinite potential for any phenomenon to take place only because it is connected, conditioned, and in turn conditioning, co-present and co-operating in constant transformation

Universe, wherein all conditioned things undergo change by the causes that produced them; while the causes are subject to change, all things and events that share the nature of their cause are also subject to change

Universe, wherein the cessation of continued existence of phenomena at a gross level is viewed upon as disappearance or death, while disintegration that takes place on a moment by moment basis is reflected upon as subtle impermanence

Universe, wherein the subtle disintegration of phenomena characterizes the various causes of events in life - thus 'all conditioned things are impermanent'

Universe, wherein phenomena as causes and effects must accord with each other; wherein all characteristics of effects need not be present in the causal plane - though the various properties of effects must correspond to the potentialities present in the cause; wherein effects arise from the aggregation of numerous causes and cooperative conditions but not one single cause

Universe, is the playful wakefulness of wisdom-compassion veiled and conditioned by discursive perception

Universe is the very presence alive of body, speech and mind!

Stories projected from torrents of thought

Thought secreted as vibrations of mind

Mind expressed as gross matter by the network of neuronal relationships

Neuronal interactivity as intercepting and intermittent biochemical charges accentuated by sense perception

Sense perception enhanced and perpetuated by mental formations as cognition

Cognition forever to condition consciousness as universe of incessant pliability and transformation

Universe psycho-physical as mental, psychological, physiological, and physical

Of multiplicity, of diversity

None other than magical manifest nature of vibratory waves, their frequencies, and their patterns of transformation

Existence...

One tapestry great and supreme

Existence...

A web of interdependent vibrations having no beginning nor ending

Existence...

Existence...

An illusion of linearity and permanence

Existence...

Of repetitious cyclical nature, nonetheless

Existence...

Momentary interceptions of linear time and lateral space

Existence...

Delusion of provisional sustenance

Existence...

The pulsation alone of 'the here' and 'the now'

Existence...

One universal being - in the moment - unfathomable and unbounded

Existence...

A myriad dispositions - to engender the coarse, subtle and secret tiers - of being and form

Existence...

Of diverse personal natures, as perception - the norm

Existence...

The dilemma of the personal - incapable of ascertaining its vastness as the universal

Existence...

As personal - the off beat vibration of 'the whole' - of interconnectedness, inconceivable

Existence...

Stemming from the very essence that rests beneath energy and matter
- the one substance of wisdom/compassion -

Existence...

Freedom of being in the moment - untainted by perception

Existence...

One spectrum of mind - from brilliance to darkness

Existence...

Is this very moment to seize - in living the truth of selflessness

Existence

Through body, speech, and mind to say least

is none else, but the enlightened and confused

emanations of sum essence

Existence...

Is ONE BEING of many dispositions as EQUALITY alone!

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

All formations, as universal existence, are effects of their multiple causes and conditions

All formations share one or many of the composite aspects of their causes

All formations are the manifestations of seeds - psycho physical by nature

All formations arise when cooperative conditions for their appearance are present

All formations remain latent beyond the notions of space and time

All formations are the maturation of seeds that contain the quality of mind - confused or enlightened

All formations are the natural consequences - as seeds in fruition - deposited in the river of body, speech, and mind

All deeds - as scents, and all misdeeds - as odors, bring about happiness and suffering - as perception in the human condition

All formations - in the eyes of the human condition - await to emanate selflessness

All formations ultimately represent the quality of LOVE - simultaneously personal and universal - interwoven in the great tapestry called existence -

Awaken now, and begin sowing this spirit of freshness in the hearts of children!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Concepts, patterns, relationships
To human sentiments of wonderment
Upon a flux, psychedelic - a kaleidoscope of events
To form the universal matrix

Recurrent, co-existent phenomena - though unique
To set the human mind to unrest - as deemed
Propelled by curiosity... as such, toward knowledge
In attainment of precision, perfection, indeed

Thus, to articulate the tendency for exactitude
upon terrestrial truth, in belief
Overwhelmed though, by a beginning-less, endless, stillness
Of celestial deep

Mathematics, the language
Of human ingenuity, to express, to predict
The patterns of life of cyclical fields
Of phenomena - never to cease

Simple concepts, complex patterns, and myriad possibilities
To define the sublime laws of life at work
Harmonizing and balancing
The great equation:

Truth = Wisdom of Emptiness and Luminous Compassion, Indeed!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Reflections in the Mirror

2009-12-01T16:34:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Interdependence, co-existence
Phenomena and wonder
In evolution, dissolution, revolution, rotation

Appearance, disappearance
No existence, inherent
Whirls to patterns,
Charges, incessant

Origination, cessation
As reflections in mirror
As clouds afloat
One mind, luminous

Emptiness, appearance
One nature ultimate

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Time Absolute and Mind Luminous

2009-11-30T16:35:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Time, the vibration of mind
Time, the reality of movement
Time, this instant - the cognizance of infinitesimal neuronal vibration

Time psychological - the experience of the three times, as past, present, future
Time, thus, the river of memories, hopes, and dreams, to conjecture

Time transcended, to lie outside the notion of duration
Time's openness, to remain within the freshness of the ever-wakeful present instant

Time 'now' - to witness the transparency of the world of phenomena
Time 'now' - beyond notions, concepts, and attachments
Time 'now' - the immutable, playful, wakeful energy of mind

Time 'now' that passes is that which produces time - as myth of mind

Time 'now' that remains is that which conveys eternity - as luminous mind!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

What is Brain?

2009-11-23T20:12:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The brain is the sum of its neuronal parts and their relationships.
The brain is the thinking machine called mind - as thought.

The brain - the network of neurons - is the material framework of consciousness analogous to a computer's hardware.

The dimension of consciousness that harbors memories and emotions - the ego - is analogous to the computer's software that controls the machine called brain.

The brain exists in a body.
The body exists in a world.
The world exists as an organism.
The organism moves, acts, and reproduces itself.
It dreams and imagines to perpetuate.

The constant interactivity between the sense bases and their fields of operation - as body and environment - creates the world of phenomena.

The brain has a sort of a natural selection among neurons.
It shuts the connections that do not operate or are not in use.

The brain that manifests universe is thus a dynamic flow of incessant interactions.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Law of Nature - The Law of Life

2009-11-20T18:16:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Awaken to the beauty of truth, the rhythm of nature
When time and opportunity, act in unison with nature's wonder

Awaken to the beauty of truth, as wisdom-compassion
When attachment to form, is dispelled, being magnanimous

Awaken to the beauty of truth, as presence majestic
When time, place, and person is dissipated within this moment, creative

Awaken to the beauty of truth, in silence manifested
when maturity takes place in solemn continuum

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

The Nature of Our Universe

2009-11-19T16:53:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Psychophysical is the nature of our universe
Psychophysical are phenomena that contain the seeds of their own transformation
Psychophysical, thus, is the river of name and form - though indivisibly personal and universal
Psychophysical are all events as provisional existence

Conditioning, indeed, is key to making a difference
Conditioning body, speech, and mind with compassion
Conditioning consciousness out of bondage from illusions and delusions
Conditoning through transmutation to liberation

Our universe, magnanimous
Reflects the aura of its inhabitants

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

From Darkness to Brilliance

2009-11-18T20:37:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Brilliance is the presence of higher mind; it is the spontaneous display of virtuosity when parents and elders demonstrate a sense of equality to the best of their human caliber - in body, speech and mind.

Indeed, it is in their best interest to model life experience with radiance, dazzle in goodness, while aspiring to emanate LOVE without conditions.

The children are the takers and they give what they receive!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

2009-11-17T18:59:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Compassion is to remember one's self with all others that share the breath of the universe.

The lotus of compassion blossoms through every atom of existence when the distinction between self and other has been dissolved; call it by any name - equality, equanimity, equilibrium, balance, selflessness, sympathetic joy - it is all pervasive, undifferentiated LOVE.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

2009-11-17T18:36:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The universe is a vast symphony; it vibrates, it orchestrates, it resounds celestial tones and harmonics in unfathomable multitude and splendor; it is the field of vibrating super strings - as waves or particles, their masses, charges and spins; it is the glorious, wondrous cosmic ballet of mind spacious and supreme!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

2009-11-02T17:16:00.000-08:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web! Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

This moment is the hum, eternal
This moment is one in the all, all in the one, surreal

This moment is freedom
This moment is the opportunity to exercise our human spirit
This moment is the field of all possibilities
This moment is pure potentiality

This moment is contained in one breath of being
This moment is the convergence of past and future
This moment is free of thought as a construct of mind
This moment is transcendence of space and time

2009-10-13T18:15:00.000-07:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Mindfulness, the lamp of awareness
Mindfulness to dwell in the present...as 'presence alive'
Mindfulness, the sacred spirit...at the heart of being
Mindfulness, on each in breath... and letting go with out breath
Mind resurrected through each infinite moment, thus life!

Breath is life...Life is breath
Breath as presence alive in the wake of mindfulness, to surmise
Breath, about 'here and now'
Breath, the convergence of body with mind
Breath of being as awareness, the sacred spirit in the heart, to reside

Breath, in momentum...the truth, to harmonize
To balance, to pacify aggregates of body-mind
As form, feeling, perception, conception, consciousness
Five step process of personality, in kind

This moment alone..the whole...free of afflictions
Rests beyond space and time
Breath in...breath out... is one circle, as reality of life.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Right view is... to become the mirror that reflects the ever-transient shadows that fall upon it without being caught up by them - in name and form. Thus, the mind is freed from estimation, calculation, analysis, and judgment.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

We Are the Makers of Our Reality

2009-08-28T09:59:00.000-07:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!
Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Reality is what we hold to be true. What we hold to be true, simply told, is what we believe. What we believe is the outcome of our perceptions.

Our perceptions ride upon the quality of attention we give. The quality of attention we give is colored by our thoughts. Our thoughts are the constructs of perception.

Perception is the precursor, the forerunner, to belief. Belief holds things to be true. What we hold true becomes our reality.

Truth is the Wisdom of Service to All Beings and Forms

2009-08-24T09:42:00.000-07:00

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

What is truth?

Truth is none other than transience and dynamism in the guise of activity.

It is a given situation or circumstance matched with - time and place appropriate - purposeful function in reverence to all of being.

Truth is the wisdom of service alone.

Success in Learning is the Attainment of Integrity Alone

Hello, My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Learning is in no way a mechanically accelerated process.
It requires presentation, poise, placidity, practice, persistence, patience, and perseverance, in order to attain personal integrity with substantial precision and perfection.

Selflessness, Each breath of the Universe!

Hello My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom… to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

The Tapestry of Time - The Great Expression of LOVE

2008-10-30T05:13:00.000-07:00

Hello My Parent Friends of the Web!

Here is a touch of wisdom… to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Our world is a tapestry of interwoven threads of time - reflected upon as the diverse facets and beings of love.

Each of us, in this tapestry, is a bearer and a sharer of time’s special gifts of LOVE that are absolutely unique and unsurpassed by any other.

The tapestry of life as ‘a whole’ is the inevitable consequence of its collective parts; the parts merely are the colored reflections of all other parts of the whole.

Each part holds intrinsic value in relation to all other parts, and therefore, the whole. Each individual part is indispensable for the sustenance of the whole.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.

Welcome Parent Friends of the World!

2008-10-06T04:04:00.000-07:00

Hello My Parent Friends of the Web!

Welcome to the great adventure of parenting. I have taken on this self-assignment to share my life vision and expertise with you along the ebbs and flows of child rearing and mentorship. The children of the world hold the light in my life. I have long cherished these ‘precious jewels’, in the words of my parents, especially my mom – having pioneered in Montessori under the caring direction of Dr. Maria Montessori in 1944. I have – along with my siblings and children – been one of the precious jewels of my parents, who mentored me from my formative years to look upon life with reverence.

Just understand, Montessori – by vision alone – interspersed with my life philosophy, continually colors and conditions the river of my dreams. It has carved my course from the day I was born, to this date. It has directed me to raise my now grown children who epitomize full and useful citizenship in this beautiful world. I believe, as a responsible mentor for children and parents over four decades, that I have helped to make a difference in the tapestry called LIFE.

It has always been my wish to touch every being on earth with love that is as selfless and unconditional as our very breath. My life aspiration has come to fruition, thanks to the world of technology. Love to be given, taken, and embraced, simply told, are now at our fingertips. Having once been a child of this earth, I wish to honor my special dad and mom for being the most reverent role-models of my life.

May all children on earth have the special blessings to cherish the one breath of love that we all as humanity share together!

Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.
