Greetings Chris,
Happy birthday!
Metta,
Retro.
Happy birthday!
Metta,
Retro.
If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo
Dharma Wheel (Mahayana / Vajrayana forum)

Err Ben... this?
Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

THanks plwk,
I read something on Cooran's fb page that led me to believe that it was her birthday today.
oh well, nothing wrong with having two birthdays a year!

Happy Birthday Chris!
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

Greetings,
I guess we may as well tuck into the cake then, rather than wait for Chris to blow out the candles.
Anyone fancy a slice?

Yeah I would like a slice, actually.
What sort of cake is it?

Thank you all!! My daughter had given me a weekend at the Gold Coast and dinner and a show for my birthday on 26 June and this weekend was when we were able to do it.
She put a photo on Facebook which has caused the confusion.
Not sure who can see this photo from the link, but here it is:

It IS, after all (at least according to me) the OBLIGATORY Buddhist birthday song. Anyway, I rather like it.cooran wrote:Didn’t we do this here, Tilt?
