In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred,
we have the privileged vocation to be living signs
of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

Ron Alexander: So hard with the political storm going on here - posted this for myself - I need to be reminded with all the anger I have against the less compassionate party - their way or the highway!
Orandon Marie: Being at peace with yourself at a CORE level is the way! xo!
Thanks Orandon - just what I needed to hear - starting ten day Silent Meditation retreat - Vipassana (Buddha's) Meditation tomorrow - good timing!
anne Porter Ashley: "Parayatti": roughly meaning the intellectual background or theoretical understanding of the teachings of the Buddha....Vipassana Research Institute
Ron Alexander: Thanks Jeanne for your research - I love the "intellectual & theoretical" however I know Vipassana emphasizes the EXPERENTIAL - learning by actually meditating The Buddha's Way!
Jeannie Zuchini: The Pariyatti Bookstore and VRI are advancing the intellectual understanding of the evolution of consciousness... which seems to be a major theme these days. I agree that experiential learning is necessary to full understanding... but the i...ntellect can be the field that grows the interest and urge... and brings the new understandings to a pragmatic level. Seems it all works together... It is prolly not a cosmic accident that the current consciousness explosion included Goenka.Ra Divakar: “Peace comes within the souls of men when they realize their oneness with the universe” Black Elk
Sometimes people get the mistaken notion that spirituality is a separate department of life, the penthouse of existence. But rightly understood, it is a vital awareness that pervades all realms of our being.Brother David Steindl-Rast (gratefulness.org)
Jeanne Porter Ashley: Go, Be. Need do nothing. :-)3 hours Ron Alexander: Human BEING instead of a Human doing! Thanks dear Jeanne!
