    As "Happy Birthday" could be seen as an oxymoron from a Buddhist perspective, perhaps we should go with "Happy Birthless day" instead.

    Anyhows, thanks for the reminder. I shall be chanting and contemplating the nine sublime virtues of the Buddha.

    Or, as Thich Nhat Hanh likes to say, "Happy Continuation Day"!

    If you see Buddha on the road today...please don't kill him.
    :)
    Offer him a ride, and soak up whatever wisdom he might
    offer. After dropping him off at his destination, offer him
    gratitude, and go find someone to show loving kindness
    to.

    Happy birthday? What's that?

    Oh, you mean 'happy dependent origination' day.

    I wasn't able to make it to Buddha Shakyamuni Practice today so I printed out a Shakyamuni Sadhana and read it while listening to the following mantra on YouTube:



    Also, the moon was really bright and full last night. I saw it right after midnight. Pretty cool.
