I Thank My Parents

Buddhism teaches you to thank your parents for your birthday…

I should consider given them a party, they gave me this rebirth and the cause of my Dharma practice.

Buddhism teaches us that…

Whether they were good or complicated parents is not the point, they gave you a body and an opportunity to meet the Dharma.

That is a worthy reason.

(Jhampa)

We steal the wings of the wind to fly the sky
Touch your heart, close your eyes. Make a wish, say goodnight. Sky so wide, Stars so bright. Off the lights, sleep so tight.
Thank you for another year
I’ve completed another rotation around the sun, celebrating the moment I began this wonderful journey.

Time is a substance from which I am made. Time is a River which carries me along, but I am the River; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is fire that consumes me, but I am fire.
-J.L. Borges

  1. I like to think that every day I wake is as special as a birth day. Because haven’t I been born into the present moment that is the new day? Is not the day but a surprise full of blessings and experiences to be nurtured and appreciated?

    Our parents of Creation are wondrous in their ability to manifest spectacular reality before our very eyes. And they do so without ever telling you how they know everything and still gift the beautiful journey of exploring a world of wonder through the eyes of an Aspect of Creation with childlike innocence guided by the ever gentle hands of Kindness And Wisdom.

    Truly the Grand Divine is just so beautiful and special and thrills the imagination to consider how perfect it truly is.

    Much love and luck and light and joy on your special day.

    So glad to get to see your beautiful imagination contributing to the wonder of the day.
