About Buddhism
The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

Atisha (11th century Tibetan Buddhist master)

Kirk's Contemplations, Affirmations and Mediations for the day: September 17th, 2011: "The Roving Mahasiddha - The "Buddha is everywhere and in all things,,,"

Contemplation upon awakening: The "Buddha is not in one person - the Buddha is an energy... A concept - a Light - a vision of Life and promise of perfection.... I personally do not have any formal buddhist training...myself: but Today this is what I received in my contemplation: The Buddha says to me: "I'am here..." now for ever and always and in all things.... I sit with the avatars and shine grace and wisdom everywhere... They say that the - "Medicine Buddha" is colored Blue... A deep sparkling - beautiful Blue Light... an Orb perhaps of Divine Intelligence and healing....

kirk's Contemplation for the day 4/21/11

Kirk's Contemplation for the day: Contemplation. Meditation. Affirmation. How do you being the day ? Beginning the day in peace ? In Sanity ? do you have a "Waking ritual" ? To set the day on a course of miracles, gratitude, and blessings ? We have our mental health, our physical health and also our "Spiritual Health" to attend to.

Meditation: Trusting that our "Highest Good" is always manifesting for ourself and oth...

Contemplations affirmation and Meditation for the day 9/22/2011 Contemplation: Ever wonder why the world is the "Way it is" ? We only have to look so far as the framing documents throughout history to realize and understand what has until now "framed" our our Collective and personal "Psyches" This is where we examine the Bible - "Old and New Testaments" to figure out why the world is in such a panic and race and fear to destroy itself and create an "End Time Scenario..." As a person who has had to totally de-clutter his psyche and dump all Spiritual Concepts and Ideas that are "Not working..." ?? in order to maintain a continued recovery from addiction and alcoholism -- I was urged years ago to get a "New Higher Power..." Drinking and drugs and "escape" from this reality at all costs was my only "Spiritual or moral Imperative..." when I was a kid and then into my mid 20s... But Wh...
