richard meyers replied to Lisa Winett's discussion Detatchment, loving thine enemy, and forgiveness? in the group Amidist Poetry"Standing by a poem quietly
is akin to waiting in a wood
the beings come out to greet us
Or deep in the night sky
a meteor passes startling
throughs stars an
unbidden unexpected gift
Forgiveness too
waits in the wings
beyond method
And as the sun…"
Lisa Winett left a comment for Jnañamati"Thanks Simon. It looks like it can be a lively bunch here at Amida!"
Lisa Winett replied to richard meyers's discussion Each Sparkling Star in the group Amidist Poetry"Time in history when we fade
little steps
all we were were such small thoughts
lovingly graced upon this earth,
each one with a wondrous song
sung at it's highest note
until we fade and as we fade
only shimmering shall we dance."
Lisa Winett replied to Lisa Winett's discussion Detatchment, loving thine enemy, and forgiveness? in the group Amidist Poetry"When the sun does die in someone else's time
I will know that I did see
all that was blessed for my eyes to see'
That my ears did hear all the songs I listened for and more
deep down in any holler
I'll pray they forgive for real
so…"
richard meyers replied to Lisa Winett's discussion Detatchment, loving thine enemy, and forgiveness? in the group Amidist Poetry"A few quick words as they come:
A truth that speaks of risk taking
Of the reality of snake venom
The foolishness of being in human form
What other being wears
foolishness in quite
the same way?
Playing praying we do what we can
Struggling to be…"
Lisa Winett commented on Kaspalita's group 2011: 6th Living Buddhism Conference"Sorry, this is a little out of context, I was trying to post in poetry, although, my computer has been hacked I think. So posting might be challenging. Sorry for the in continuity."
Lisa Winett commented on Kaspalita's group 2011: 6th Living Buddhism Conference"Amazing in this world when vipers steal because they think they are right
When thought police where cloaks of holiness, friendship, and intelligence,
When human beings target and want to maim, silence, in the name of their own
Brand of art, writing,…"
Lisa Winett left a comment for Tsomo Sunayani (Tatiana Santos)"Thank you Tatiana, I'll keep reading! I think the mystery behind faith, interpersonal relationships, addictive personalities, destructive relationships, and then finally, how to have constructive, loving relationships is the ultimate goal for…"
Lisa Winett left a comment for Tsomo Sunayani (Tatiana Santos)"Hello Tatiana, I wanted to introduce myself. I am just entering the field of massage therapy and am actually a practicing Christian, but in terms of therapeutic efforts to help people cope with life's challenges I find that often times a strict…"
Lisa Winett replied to Katrien Sercu's discussion My shadow in the group Amidist Poetry"Fools that lie my shadow sees
why do they always ridicule me?
Shadows that dance in salty light
pretending to be saved without a prayer that means much.
Om to them would be just a sound
Caught in heaven unless it angered them.
Crying in my sleep…"
Lisa Winett replied to richard meyers's discussion 4.30am Poem in the group Amidist Poetry"I like the mention of the wounded darkness. Sometimes in our lives we can be confronted and submerged in a dark moment of life. I think for true peace and any kind of healing to take place we must confess this darkness, get it out where we can see…"

Tsomo Sunayani (Tatiana Santos) said… - Hi Lisa, thanks for your comment. Well, I have my model of interpretation to view all hillness. Although I use much more the analytic model, I try to integrate other visions. The Buddhist Psychology is one that I'm interested in. The Existential Psychotherapy another. We can exchange views and experiences. A big hug

enlightened or bombu?
Started by Thomas Myojo Radcliffe in Buddhist Teaching. Last reply by Robert McCarthy May 7. 9 Replies 0 Likes
Zen is clear that we are essentially enlightened beings. Pureland insists that we are hopelessly deluded. Both seem to me to be true. On the one hand the mind with all it's contradictions,…Continue
Other-power or Zazen?

I see Amida Trust bringing the 2 together, or are they mutually exclusive? ie the here and now focus on breath of Zazen implies continuity and oneness, whereas the 'other- power' of Amida can be seen…Continue
The prison of the question of "liking or not liking"
Started by Katrien Sercu in Amida Trust & Amida-shu Development. Last reply by Robert McCarthy Apr 30. 9 Replies 0 Likes
It is surprising how a question, which was a step forwards earlier in life becomes an ennoying limitation that, in good moments, can evoke a smile in me as it is really a funny and stupid question.…Continue
