I am taking one week off from my regular job to do charity work with Buddhist Monks and Buddhist Nuns for one whole week. I will return home Tuesday night. I will have a little access to g+ via my phone, but the connection is very slow. I can read streams, and  a few plus+ing, but comment may not be possible. Too slow.  G+ friends is just like my second family. I respect and cherish our friendship here very much. Take care my dear friends. I will miss all of you and the beautiful posts you share very much. Everyone is my teacher. I have learned so much from each and everyone of you. See you again Tuesday night, next week.

Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it. ~Author Unknown

October’s the month
When the smallest breeze
Gives us a shower
Of autumn leaves.
Bonfires and pumpkins,
Leaves sailing down –
October is red
And golden and brown.
~Unknown

Leaving my little room now. Going out of states again. See you all Sunday night. No holiday for me this coming Monday.

Sunshine

Sunshine gentle on my face,
Sunshine, caressing, gentle, kind,
Sunshine traveling, through endless miles of space,
Sunshine forever on my mind.

Sunshine warms the gentle Earth,
Sunshine warms the seven seas,
Sunshine chases sorrows, welcomes mirth,
Sunshine does its very best to please. ~By Juan Olivarez

When we walk like (we are running), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth… Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, so the wise are not shaken by blame and praise. As a deep lake is clear and calm, so the wise become tranquil after they listened to the truth.

Good people walk on regardless of what happens to them. Good people do not babble on about their desires. Whether touched by happiness or by sorrow, the wise never appear elated or depressed…~Lord Buddha

If you listen to the Dhamma teachings but don’t practice you’re like a ladle in a soup pot. The ladle is in the soup pot every day, but it doesn’t know the taste of the soup. You must reflect and meditate. ~ Ajahn Chah
