Hello again,
I'm happy to say that Louise has phoned me a few times just recently. She wanted me to say hello to you and pass on the latest news. Her kidney function, while still not where it should be, is stable: so, no dialysis! Tomorrow she's moving to the sixth floor Physical Therapy, and she'll probably stay there for about two weeks, I think. She sounds MUCH more vibrant and happy!
Smiling!

Another, very pleasing, update....
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, chants, and the sending of good thoughts to me. I won't reply in depth right now. Forgive me. I still don't feel up to a lengthy reply. After getting out of the hospital, I went to a nursing rehab facility where i ended up getting an infection on the surface of my skin. The heart surgeon put me back in the hospital for a week. I just got out yesterday and will be receiving IV antibiotics for awhile longer here at home. I am using oxygen now too. Hope that changes. I am tired, but glad to be home.
Love and hugs to you all
Love and hugs to you all
Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
May all beings be at ease.

Greetings Louise,
Take care.
Metta,
Retro.
Take care.
Metta,

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

Take care of yourself and rest well Louise. Sukhi hotu!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Hi sattva,
there's a time and a season for everything, and right now for you it's the season for lots of rest, relaxation and healing...definitely don't exert yourself with replies to us, we are fine...just get well!

May the Triple Gem of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha be with you and protect you, Sattva.

Hello Sattva
I haven't been in the chat these days so I haven't seen you in a while, or heard about you. How are you doing?
