Re: From the teachings of Ajahn Chah
A quote from a forum oldie, Cinorjer
As I got older, the mindfulness of the body got easier every year. I'm mindful of the aches and twinges in my knees and back, and the interesting sounds and sensations my gut makes if I try to eat spicy foods. This morning I'm mindful of my breathing because my stepdaughter gave me her chest cold a few days ago and I make an interesting whistling when I breathe out. The way my body looks in the mirror this morning reminds me of the impermanence of all things. Mindfulness ain't necessarily pretty.
People don’t seem to age in their mind at the same rate as aging in the body… often a seventy year old still thinks he or she is twenty.

I suppose then, if memorization is clinging, then any sort of regular, repetitive practice would be clinging as well.I don’t see how that follows?
OK! If you don't see my point, then I guess you don't see it. My bad, perhaps. It's early, and I'm still working on my first cuppa. Not quite yet the brilliant, towering intellect, I usually demonstrate. LOLz

Don't worry about the earth being taken over by force from non-earth beings. Do I look dangerous? Although my blinking naturally alternates, unlike yours, and half my large brain sleeps while the other half stays awake, I am very much like you. Those like me are coming here because there is a Buddha somewhere on earth and we've been trying to find him since his birth. All of our vimanas (you call them flying saucers) have been working overtime to find him to hear his teaching which we can already sense somewhat. In the meantime your invisible sun is going to increase in spiritual power by many times (it has been dormant for many thousands of years). Some of you might have difficulty making the adjustment. Don't worry, we will recycle your bodies and put them to good use.
