Well, the moral of the story
The moral of this song
Is simply that one should never be
Where one does not belong
So when you see your neighbor carryin’ somethin’
Help him with his load
And don’t go mistaking Paradise
For that home across the road
-- Bob Dylan, 1968, The Ballad Of Frankie Lee And Judas Priest

Welcome!
The real Buddhism is not books, not manuals, not word for word repetition from the Tipitaka, nor is it rites and rituals. These are not the real Buddhism. The real Buddhism is the practice, by way of body, speech and mind that will destroy the defilements, in part or completely...Though a person may never have seen or even heard of the Tipitaka, if he carries out detailed investigation every time suffering arises and scorches his mind he can be said to be studying the Tipitaka directly, and far more correctly than people actually in the process of reading it. - Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

I may be right, I may be wrong, but I am one, the other, both, or neither! either way this is my offering.

Old Version Exploration to the satipatthana Suttanew version soon.
states of deprivation, destitution, the bad states will end, I am aiming for self-awakening!
I may still belong to the lineage of the Kilesas, but to the lineage of the noble ones I look to as my guide. Theirs are the customs I will follow.
