Manjushri loves Montreal

May 25, 2004 17:14

Well I've arrived home after an action-packed two weeks of virtuous Dharma work ... and contemplation on the only thing that's worth thinking about ... EMPTINESS!!!

A few awesome old ladies and I, gilded the deer and dharma wheel for the Toronto Temple and then I attended a Manjushri empowerment the next day in Montreal ... just what the Doctor ordered!

A taste of what Gen Zopa had to say about all things wisdom:

"The belief that we're alone is very deceptive. We often think meditation is selfish. Actually though, when we meditate we are with others. We actually remove the obstructions between us and others. These divisions disappear because they never existed! Meditation brings us closer to others. We feel alone only when we're grasping strongly at self and others. In meditation we can experience the intimacy of all beings and therefore we can help them."

SO ... up and meditate!
