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
My journal for Vipassana meditation. I took my first Vipassana course during October 2002, and have been regularly meditating since.

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

Honey Tea
Practice brings rich rewards. Of the more mundane but important things - Woke up early , yoga (twenty mins) and breakfast, and as dawn breaks am sitting outside with tulsi(basil) and honey tea, rain drops adding in as I sit outside with tea in my hand - its cold and expansive.
Enjoying the morning, loving, before work - got a regular long day at work.
