Anyhew
Remembrance, drives past me
Sun, the shades, the air seems to live within me, of years gone by
not me, not me anymore
My journal for Vipassana meditation. I took my first Vipassana course during October 2002, and have been regularly meditating since.

Unwrap the Gift
One needs to have appreciation to use the gifts you have. Whether you appreciate your microwave or not, it will still work the same. Alas! Not the same with ‘gifts’.
We need to acknowledge, be aware of our strengths, to bring them out, esp. when you meditate ... notice and look back, love and appreciate. Appreciate is to actually know the finer aspects, like a skilled jeweler who knows his art.
So, as you come to discover the finer aspects of your strengths, or gifts, you begin work optimally, with yourself, with all your being.
Peace
Old Tibetan Saying:
To know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers is characteristic of an excellent man [Tiy 61].

To die
How will be my last goodbye
will I rise, will I lie
Will I love, when I die
will I change when I die
Will it be unspeakable
will it be respectable
Will it just be
when I let go of me
will I rise, will I lie
Will I love, when I die
will I change when I die
Will it be unspeakable
will it be respectable
Will it just be
when I let go of me

Jewellery shopping
Sometimes as you live in the world, but not of it -U get to do a lot of things.
Sighhh
Went jewellery shopping - plain painful.

What are you breathing?
Lately have been eating a lot - with all its implied consequences.
There was a time when until two weeks back I could not eat two wraps in a go, now I can easily eat stuff.
However, I turned to think (since fluctuations in eating was not new to me), why is this happening?
There are times when little food energises - why?
Turns out the secret lies with the breath. What am I breathing?

Charging the Penniless
One who has Dhamma is abundantly rich. There is no price for love, one gives from profusion.
It is gratitude of others that enlivens spread of dhamma-wholesome way of being, that helps spread dhamma.
One can not charge money, from one who is poor, one who is penniless-dhamma to be given free.
Per the vinayana, monks abstain from money -I havent read the rules but I say this from heresay and come to believe this since I now recognize how enriching/fulfilling is dhamma, true simple dhamma.
No one can charge you for showing you dhamma, one can not charge you for dhamma, because the giver gives out of profusion, dhamma is so expansive cant be any charge :)
This is not idealist to think that the givers/vehicles of spreading dhamma need not charge any monetary stuff. The care givers will be taken care of, such is the rule. This is not idealism, this is perfection!

Is it ... is it New
In our search for 'new', we are basically seeking old impulses.
'Old' sensation s that want to be alive again.
Old tracks, patterns, REFRESH
