Metta and Love to You All !
Thanks for the interesting topics you contribute!
Same to you @Dakini
Thank you, @Hozan.
Much metta to you
And you chose my favourite naughty boy there...???
Bruce Lee = Awesome
Back at cha! ??
bruce lee.that gif image ,made me remember,what he said in a tv interview.he said be like water.that always stuck with me in my brain.nature can be a source of inspiration and insight.this be connected to like a river move around obstacle such as rocks.i am paraphrasing,lao-tzue.
@paulyso Look up the book "Living as a River" it is a 6 part meditation focusing on the elements and nature backed with science and commentary. It was a great read, you will probably enjoy it. I think I read it too early in my practice.
And to the original point, I love NB. This site has definitely widened my understanding and compassion of others but most importantly myself. Its so great to have a Sangha here when I don't have one elsewhere. Namaste to all
Namaste! I echo that! This too is my sangha and one which I am most grateful for.
I'm guessing you are a Star Wars fan @eggsavior ?
thank you eggsavior for recommending the book.i have a feeling im going to like it alot.
I think I may be bowing the wrong way again
On a more serious note ...
Learning the bodhi-language of submission and missionary, active and passive is one of the ways the advanced enlightened yogis convey teaching through physical presence. Bowing is just a pale, formal ritual in comparison ...

Submission and missionary...
I am leaning more towards one of the fifty shades of Grey here...??
These Irish folk are a bit of a worry ???
Could it be my Irish genes that make me soooo irreverent?
Another bow
Loooooove Sam Elliott!!
@Hozan Why yes I am! Seeing Luke prevail through compassion and love was inspiring. I am very interested in the ties between Star Wars and Buddhism. There is a book I want to buy called the Dharma of Star wars. Have you heard of it?
@paulyso you're welcome! I hope it helps to teach you about what you're seeking
@eggsavior I haven't heard of it but it sounds really interesting! Thank you for the recommendation!❤❤

A bow and a crisp high five to all of you.
@Hozan There was a great essay I found online that connected Star Wars to Shin Buddhism but after some digging I believe the website got revamped and the link is no longer active. Such a shame, it really opened my eyes to Amida Buddha...and I love anything that frames Luke as a Buddhist. It was a fun read. I will continue looking.

now I think we should stop posting unless we make a new thread...for star wars...
a bow of respect to my NB sangha for tolerating constant off-shoots in conversation
We each speak in our own language
Is that you on the right @lobster ?
Swine before pearls ...
Sadly this escaped bacon was not saved by her devotions ... or the chanting namo amitofo of local Buddhist tourists or of the heart sutra by a monk ...
