“I love my rice noodles sitting next to Ilha Formosa Taiwan.”

「我愛台灣米粉」

Projections

A glass of water is offered:

Buddhas see healing nectar of compassionate wisdom;

Humans see refreshing water to quench their thirst;

Pretas see revolting blood and pus.

Five emails are offered:

CC sees salt on his wound; she sees a girl,

Kicking his ass with compassion carefully held by wisdom.

“He studies rocks.  I save lives.  You can’t marry him.”

Are you asking me to marry you?  When will that happen?

“Don’t know.  7 years, 10, 15.   Maybe.  Don’t know.”

We met at 10 pm, talked until 4 am, you walked me to my door.

Big Love Avalokiteśvara 100-syllable Mantra

Fastest way to purify all negative karmas.  Develop deep compassion for all sentient beings.  You.  Me.  All.  Humans.  Animals.  Dark Creatures.  Until the end of time.

How Chinese Buddhists do this chant:  “1000-arm Buddha Avalokiteshvara’s Great Compassion Long Mantra” (Maha Karuna Dharani) in Sanskrit:

Thought Transformation Prayer of the Buddha’s Previous Lives

When difficult people appear in my life, to test my peacock training, I like to do this meditation, to remind me of this truth:  Buddha has already done it, I can, too.  One step at a time, one person at a time.  One arm, one leg, one eyeball, one ear, one drop of blood, one chocolate bar, one iPad, one BMW, I can give away, a little more at a time.  From wanting to give, to actually giving.  Intention to action.  For all SSBs.  All hungry for something from me.

PHAT!  When my teacher, the Buddha, the endowed transcendent subduer,

Was Prince liberated from All on the path of mighty courage,

He gave away his son, daughter, and the kingship.

In the same way, may I be able to give away without clinging

My surroundings and possessions

That are so dear to me.   (1)
