Toliet Sayings For Her



Colin Beavan is a New Yorker who felt be working very guilty about that polar bears are left without pole and decided to throw a year without generating waste, without using electricity without emitting CO2. He called his project "No Impact Man" and dragged his wife and two year old daughter with him. Then he wrote a book I'm reading and I recommend to everyone world (that means I'm enjoying it a lot).

Beavan no lectures, do not believe morally superior, and is not a cake. On the contrary, writes unashamedly about their blunders, their anger, their flaws, make jokes about the fights with his wife and laughs at his own stubbornness. At the same time, reflect on what happiness means to him, learn many interesting things and wonder where you take your life.

is supposed to be a green book, but I learned long ago not much of a book is not Buddhist.

Yesterday I read this: " One day this week to consider bringing Isabella [his daughter two years] to the park. It was to me, running around like a duck on the sidewalk. When we had not advanced or half a block, stopped playing with a chain hanging from a boca de incendios: le daba toquecitos con un dedo para que se balanceara hacia delante y hacia atrás, esperaba pacientemente a que se quedara parada y volvía a golpearla con el dedo, fascinada. Traté de tirar de ella para darnos prisa en llegar al parque.
Empezó a llorar.
Yo accedí, y ella se volvió hacia la cadena y la siguió columpiando, mirando con paciencia cómo se mecía de un lado a otro hasta quedarse quieta, y entonces volvía a golpearla con el dedo. Yo quería que nos diéramos prisa en llegar al parque para comenzar a divertirnos. Tardé un buen rato en darme cuenta de que Isabella ya se lo estaba pasando well.

Today I woke up and, after washing my face, I looked quickly at the clock to see how long he had to meditate before eating (I got up at one of the later): I thought breakfast and do arm exercises too fast to allow more time for sitting. Then I realized how stupid I was being. Every moment is an opportunity to meditate, why not taking advantage?

More No Impact Man Back

just returned from vacation for a week (lately, I go back many times) and of course I want to write about the recall (one of these days fall) I put another funny story and talking about nasty, because I know you like (but hopefully not hurt anyone's feelings.)

During another session of questions and answers, Ajahn Abhinando read a question that had been done: "How do you deal with sexual tension?". After you tell us your views on the subject, told us that Ajahn Chah (yes, the same) had many problems with sexual desire. And by many I mean that the poor monk had erections that lasted for hours. And habits rubbing his body did not help. Ah, celibacy.

As a monk can not make any activity to ease sexual tension, Ajahn Chah was creative. Going to the depths of the jungle, where nobody could see him and there he practiced walking meditation for hours. Nude. Until the problem is solved. If that's not determination, come down and see Gotama.

I guess for those who know nothing of Buddhist monks, this story may be shocking, but to me it makes me laugh. See teachers as big as Ajahn Chah spent their penalties also makes you focus all of this with more optimism. Although, of course, I have that problem ...

At 50 I feel ignorant


For some years things here in my house are a bit "tense" to put it in some way. As I walk out of that adolescent stage where you think you know everything my dad seems to plummet without any protection to the reef of absolutism. This implies a degree of hostility that apparently reached a point where reconciliation is impossible, but that's not the issue.
The point here is the concern that I generate those adults who think they know everything, but at 17 you think it's the rocking, Da Vinci smarter, more talented than Lennon and McCartney (together) and a beauty Dean and Hepburn captivating; to 25 changes a little thing. At this age you know you do not understand anything, it recognizes its capabilities and limitations, but this is bad, quite the opposite. When you reach this point, all learning involves a possibility of improvement.
is why I prefer the teenager who thinks he knows everything to cinquentañero claiming the same thing is likely the first, second and won.
