Bravo good news.
Police and others near the hard edges of dukkha deserve front row free instruction at all dharma centres. Bravo that monk! Our uniformed branch (aka sangha) strike again ...
Thank for sharing
I thought this thread was going to be about Trudeau legalizing marijuana next year.
Good to hear Peel Police are now doing this. When I was young they were the worst around. It would be good if they mellowed out a bit.
Those police are wearing loaded guns and minds and body armour. Very similar to most dharma centre sits with the average hell dweller hippy types.
This is my sort of dharma.
I take refuge in the Buddha
I take refuge in the Dharma
I take refuge in the Sangha
I take refuge in the Policing
My teacher (one of many) once said, "If we all understood "karma" there would be no need for a 'police' force !" ......Makes one think
Hope Canada would be a better place before the start of the Trump precidency. They can expect a lot of immigrants. ......... from the US of A.
Voting is easier than moving.
Better to move when the zombies outnumber the living @David
