Pure Land Practice Morning

Posted on September 5, 2010 at 23:38 10 Comments

Today I facilitated a morning of simple Pure Land practice in our shrine room in Machynlleth, Wales and six people attended. It is the first gathering of this kind in the valley since Prasada & Susthama kindly visited, and led a practice evening back in early summer, and today's session went very well also. We have decided for now to make this a regular gathering on the first Sunday of each month, which is quite wonderful, and personally I can hardly wait for the next one!

The Dance?

Posted on February 16, 2010 at 15:01 1 Comment

The black stallion, majestic on the hillside
against the towering clarity of azure.
By the trickling stream
A ewe falls to her knees as if in prayer
and begins to tear grass from its roots.

In the town, shafts of white gold sunlight
dazzle rooftops and transform telephone cables
Into heavenly threads of connection.

The dance is, perhaps, beginning....

Sparrows cheeping, once again

In the vacant, winter tree.

Fine flakes of snow, buffeted by wind

Swirl and curl, racing around the glowing light

Of the adjacent street lamp -

A swarming species of frost hardy fire-flies.



A starling hops on board the good ship Hornbeam,

But surely not at this time of year?

The tree an orphanage for the motley and fluffy,

Refugees from the empty fields and hills.

A blue tit now - hopping, bopping, this way… Continue

Hi Hussam, yes it was great to share late night chats, visualizations and everything else. Perhaps you could email me your number in a private message here? I'd like to give you a call now and again to see how you are. I am already looking forward to the next block and miss the dynamics in the house. It wasn't all easy, but it was all rewarding. Thank you for sharing your experiences, take care and speak soon I hope. Namo Amida Bu, Stone

Hi Hussam,

Thanks for your message. I thought the course block was a great learning experience. Indeed, for me it was the most rewarding so far. Working with you gave me my first experience of the unique kind of encounter that can occur in psychoptherapy and I felt priveleged to be invited into a corner of your world. I don't suppose that I'll always feel that way about clients, though!

Hope you, Helen and James had a good time in Wales. I'm going to take up your invitation and visit there myself some day. Maybe you could even show me that well!

Hi Hussam, thanks for your message. I was actually gonna send you a msg. Yes, things quite good since return thanks. What about you? You know, when you share the music it is such a great contribution. I am off on a shaking retreat to Ireland this w/end and the following week am meeting with my old band to do a concert in Germany so that is all quite exciting. 

It would be so great if Helen and her partner get a house near you.

Love and best wishes, Archan

Hi Hussam,

 

I just want to thank you again for sharing your experience abnd offering your support last week. Dukkha can be lonely, in fact it seems to be an essential feature of it. But I really felt your compassion and I appreciated it. Also, you were right about the Buddha: he died in Kushinagar and not in Lumbini which as you correctly pointed out was his place of birth. So much for my scholarship!

 

Take Care,

 

Bob

Hi Hussam........So pleased to receive your reply. I will certainly look into the courses you suggested. It could provide what I feel is the missing element of my present studies and possibly even an alternative.It would definitely give me ideas of which direction to take for my dissertation.

Lovely to read some of your other posts.

Thank you for your suggestions

Best wishes

Debbie
