Good friends all,
An e-mail I received:
Bhante Gunaratana hospitalized
Our prayers are with Bhante Gunaratana
(Mindfulness in Plain English) as he undergoes heart surgery
today. We will continue to post updates on his recovery via our
facebook page as we receive them. We hope you will join us in sending
him prayers and good wishes for a safe and speedy recovery.
The Bhavana Society's August 26
event at American University has been cancelled. The Triple Event
celebration will still take place on October 6 and 7 at the Bhavana
Society in West Virginia.

If you believe in meditation/prayer, please do so for my good friend
Bhante Gunaratana. He always treated me better than I deserved.
peace...
yours in the Dhamma-vinaya,
Chuck

To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

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.

May he be well and free from disease.
May he share in my merits.
May he share in my merits.
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

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)

Suffering is asking from life what it can never give you.

If you see any unskillful speech (or other action) from me let me know, so I can learn from it.
