Hi everyone,
Some of you know that I had a brain tumor removed this past spring and have been on cancer treatment ever since. Today was the second big checkup and it was clean. There was no sign of the tumor or any new growth. I'll remain on cancer treatment for many months, with major checkups every three months, because that is the treatment that seems to work best. So it looks like the treatment is working well.
Hoo, who may have time to finish reading the Suttas after all

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,

Re: Good news today
Great news Hoo! Congratulations! Much Metta to you and yours!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Re: Good news today
Thanks, evereyone, for your kind words and wishes.
It's interesting to note that there was no "self" visble in the MRI or any of the other tests. But there was clearly a brain there, which pretty well shot what the wife says from time to time

Hoo,
We've never met but I'm happy for you. May you live a long life and taste the fruits of the deathless!

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