ALL CONDITIONED PHENOMENA ARE IMPERMANENT

“sabbe sankhara anicca”, (all conditioned phenomena are impermanent), “sabbe dhamma anatta”, (all things are not self) not long now only about 3 weeks, which will be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, i’m getting chills, to be living in another culture will be just and amazing experience, where each I can get up and not have to worry bout anything, and just do what
I feel, thou I will make sure it does become to hedonistic, and that all actions are in line with the five refuges, and don’t cause any suffering, hopefully, this is probably going to underlay everything I do from now on, and will greatly influence any desires, or success in which I will judge my life, and my direction, to increase as the happiness in this universe, and to try and attempt to help alleviate the suffering which occur each moment, through, selfishness, fear, and ignorance, but to do this as successfully as possible I will need to rid them from my own mind first, before I can begin to even start thinking that I will be able to help those around me, where ever I am, if all beings were on this path, there would be such insignificant suffering we would all be in heaven, and what is pain anyway, its just am electrical signal travelling along tracks in the body to the brain, is it caused by just unconformability, or does the mind just create as an escape for itself, when one needs an excuse to not do something it wish’s to not do, if I could be the pain in my body what else would be able to stop me, is it just a mental battle, or is there more to it, I do enjoy prolonging it even though I probably shouldn’t, to push my levels of resistance is always a challenge and a tussle I enjoy, especially seeing as I don’t always win, but I don’t think any of this is about winning or losing, but keeping the balance, the whole circle of life, there is no such thing as death but in our own mind, all that is created dies, but the truth which is not created, nor energy continue forever, because without them there is nothing and there cant be just nothing because it just wouldn’t be able to exist, but I must admit I am becoming a lot more comfortable with the whole idea of it in the end, not saying when it comes I will sail through with flying colours, but right now it’s a lot easier to mentions, and even contemplate, be because if nothing lasts forever than how can death also last for ever, ever thing is in a constant state of evolution, and reaction, its taken me a lot of evolving to realise the truth as it is, set forth in many religions, faiths, and even just ideologies from around the world, and that’s because it’s the truth, it doesn’t change because life and the energy within doesn’t change, but just transforms, in a constant state of flux, but at the moment the world is on a sliding scale which isn’t getting better at the moment and will be unfortunate get worse until it starts getting better, but one day it will all be over and everything with be on the other side of the scale, until it then begins again


Why dream of what can be done,
Wake up before the sun,
You know you will have fun,
Just remember rule one,
I pray that one day,
The world will see the way,
It pains my heart
People are afraid to start,
Stop trying to protect your little ego,
Its just more you will need to let go,
No one ever really dies,
I will hear you heedless cries,
Foolish to think you’re alone,
I’m a second away on the phone,
It wouldn’t be so hard if we let go together,
Drop to the ground like a feather.

I Know your weakness because there my own,
Not fooled by the sweetness you’ve shown,
All you need to do is open,

If a permits himself to be oppressed by something that ought to oppress him, his name will certainly be disgraced. If he leans upon which one cannot lean, his life will certainly be endangered. For him who is in disgrace and danger, the hour of death draws near’ pg 339

Love and hate combat each other, and good fortune and misfortune result there from. The far and the near injure each other, and remorse and humiliation result there from. The true and the false influence each other, and advantage and injury result there from. In all situations of the book of changes it is thus: when closely related things do not harmonize, misfortune is the result: this gives rise to injury, remorse, and humiliation. 355

The superior man sets his person at rest before he moves: he composes his mind before he speaks: he makes his relations firm before he asks for something. By attending to these three matters, the superior man gains complete security. But if a man is brusque in movements, others will not co-operate. If he is agitated in his words, they awaken no echo in others. If he asks for something without having first established relations, it will not be given to him. If no one is with him, those who would harm him draw near. In the book of changes it is said: he brings increase to no one. Indeed, someone even strikes him. He does not keep his heart constantly steady. Misfortune 343
In a struggle with an enemy of superior strength, retreat is no disgrace. Timely withdrawal prevents bad consequences. If out of false sense of honour, a man allowed himself to be tempted into an unequal conflict; he would be drawing down disaster upon himself. In such case a wise and conciliatory attitude benefits the whole community, which will then not be drawn into conflict. 30



How is it that people can be so different when bought up the same, and as family and friends, and all the living beings in this world is all we should be concerned with, why is there so much suffering, people are so quick to protect there own ego, it leaves very little room for others, I think over the last year or so empathy has been my biggest lesson, and often find protecting those I even dislike, and those who cant protect themselves, if I can do it then it obviously isn’t hard, or even take much effort or energy, just a little thought outside of the box, a bit lateral, if ya know what I mean, in it, and possessions are so meaningless, no matter how much they cost or there size, they don’t last and we spend so much time worrying about them that it hardly seems worth it, it hurts me so, and almost brings me to tears just the thought of peoples lack of thought, when its so easy, how many of the worlds problems arise from not thinking of others, this life and the energy we are, lasts so much longer than your bank, house, or car, I don’t care for TVs, electronics, or words of fear and delusion, its so clear through tear filled eyes that your only hurting yourself, participating in these actions of greed, anger, fear, lust, and dishonesty, by no means am I free of these defilements, but by being aware of them, and becoming more mindful, and in the present moment, I know I have greatly reduced these negative actions, and there negative consequences nearest my heart, and even just those beings lives in which I enter into each day,

You call me up and I'll say a few words
But I’ll try not to speak too long
Please to be kind and I'II try to explain
I’ll probably get it all wrong
What does it mean when you promise someone
That no matter how hard or whatever may come

It means that I won t give in,
won t give in, won t give in
Cause everyone I love is here
Play it once, disappear

Once in a while I return to the fold
With people I call my own
Even if time is just a flicker of light
And we all have to die alone
What does it mean when you belong to someone
Do you already ? ? ? Do you carry it on

It means that I won t give in, won t give in, won t give in
Cause everyone I love is here
All at once, and I'II show you how to get here

Come on now, come on now, can you feel it,
I can see it in ya
Come on now, come on now,
reveal it, turn around won t ya
The right time, the right place, right now, turn around

A chance is made, a chance is lost,
I carry myself to the edge of the earth

It means that I won t give in, won t give in, won t give in
Cause everyone I love is here
Say it once, just say it, and disappear





LOS LONELY BOYS LYRICS

Heaven


Vamanos!

Save me from this prison
Lord, help me get away
'Cause only you can save me now
From this misery

Well I've been lost in my own place
And I'm getting' weary
How far is heaven?
And I know that I need to change
My ways of living
How far is heaven?
Lord, can you tell me?

I've been locked up way too long
In this crazy world
How far is heaven?
I just keep on prayin', Lord
I just keep on livin'
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord, can you tell me?)
How far is heaven?
(I just gotta know how far it is)
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord, can you tell me?)

Tu que estas en alto cielo, hechame tu bendicion.
[translated from Spanish: you that's in a higher place, send me down a blessing]

'Cause I know there's a better place
In this place I'm livin'
How far is heaven?
So I just got to show some faith
And just keep on givin'
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord can you tell me)
How far is heaven?
(I just gotta know how far it is)
How far is heaven?
(Oh, Lord, can you tell me?)
How far is heaven?
I just gotta know how far
I just wanna know how far

I JUST CANT STAY

not long now, and I cant wait, ha ha ha, of course I can seeing as it also allows me to organise everything that I have to and make sure I have enough cash, which hopefully wont be a problem, but not having any responsibilities or jobs, or anything actually will be good, especially since I have been at school pretty much most of my life, and working most of the last five years, I don’t even know what its like to have nothing to do, which will be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good I cant wait, the excitement is beginning to build up and blow like a volcano, but its all going to be okay, there is also a little sadness at leaving everything behind, but there is something inside that cant stay here forever, I know I will see everything again, and everybody, but to immerse myself into another culture so far from mine, not only in distance but in all that governs one life will be so very good, and though I have limited experience in it, only having left the country for two months, it was the most liberating experience, and the knowledge that arises from it can not be taught or learnt any other way, and if I need to work just part time than that will just have to be, but i’m so excited to be leaving in just less than two months, that I will be living in a new country learning and living their way will be so good, and to be able to practice will be so relieving, and meeting with new people will be the most amazing experience, maybe I will even do some volunteer work which will also be very good, but a little harder to organise, so that will be a little lower upon the list of priorities, but nether the less an idea, its also interesting to hear what people think about you, wether it be good or bad, its also been very good spending time with Bhante each week, to follow in his foot steps would also be amazing, and to come back here and teach would also be very good, at least this way all questions and doubt will be set upon in concrete for, and there will be no turning back, to rise above, and cross the line or to fall, and crash and burn, I also think that fears cant be beaten for a lay person, but that we just develop better methods for coping, which me thinks is just as important, but it all comes down to becoming a witness, and having the ability to see how and why certain things arise within oneself, and also within others, the more I practice the more I realise we are all the same, and that blaming and harming, others only weakens your own self, when you see, just see, when you hear, just hear, when you smell just smell, when you touch just touch, when you know just know, its amazing how simple it all is, and yet so many people don’t see it, it took me 24 years to realise its simplicity and beauty, and the “eternalness” of it, it is quite mind blowing, to experience without judgement, without labelling, without criticising, without fear, without anger, without religion, without politics, without money, without hatred, when one sees and understands, one can no longer feel hatred or a want to harm, because one knows, and one cant help but to feel love, and a love that has no judgment, or label, or direction, but a true want for all living beings to be happy, healthy and free from suffering, a purity that is true and clear, its so obvious that hate only breeds hate, fear breeds fear, and only love will save the day, “all you need is love” John Lennon.

MY PARALLEL

its interesting to see how most relationships are either convergent, or divergent, few remain parallel, which for obvious reasons would be almost impossible, as one tries to give more as the other tries to take more, the ego causes so much suffering to oneself, and those in which it is inflicted upon, I hope that the suffering I cause has significantly dropped over the last year, the laws of man seem so futile, so emotionless, and egotistical, one needs to look beyond to the laws of the universe, and contemplate upon the amount of suffering one causes, the main problem is that few even realise there own mistakes. Which is understandable, humans are so weak, and the ego is so strong and deceptive, that it takes so much energy mindfulness and concentration to change, that in a split second of no concentration, one can be so greedy and selfish, I can see how the mind what works, always living in fear, trying to protect itself, funnily enough from other egos, and the more I practice the more I realise we are all the same, same fears, wants and desires, needs, and what we think we need, I can see my ego at work and am still taken by it now and then, but as it lessens I realise how difficult it becomes to be honest, people cant handle the truth, because then the ego would loose its control, people are afraid to let go of it, and therefore only wish to hear what the ego wants to hear to reinforce the idea that it is doing a good job, I am very week, but have cut my weakness considerably, and realise that one is sometimes better off saying nothing than causing suffering, everyone already knows there weakness, and tend to choose to ignore them because the ego creates an air of fear around the subject that we wish to go away, but the only way to beat our fears is to walk right thru them, one should not fear, fear itself. Maybe i’m delusional, maybe i’m wrong, but I no longer worry myself with such human judgements but go by the universal laws, if u give, It will be given, if you take it will be taken, if you teach hate, hate will always be your master, if you teach love the universe will love, and the universe is made of energy, this is all that exists, one can change this energy easily, but one should only do without ego, and if the individual wish’s it, otherwise it becomes manipulation, which will never achieve the correct result no matter how we wish, you cant make people do, if they don’t want to, they will fight it always, its not in our nature to
