In this world, nothing is as dear to someone as his or her own life, so there is no greater crime than taking life away, and no conditioned virtue brings greater merit than the act of saving beings and ransoming their lives.
𑁋Chatral Rinpoche, The Benefits of Saving Lives
Its good day for mindfulness plus unwind-full-bliss.
Nothing to find, no eye, no thought of shh… persists.
Remain focused! Dont let the monkey mind escape the lotus.
Come back monkey! You thought I wouldn’t notice!
Now have a seat. Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.
Recite these mantras, escape away with me.
Give me yer hand. Off to the pure land.
Mindful and monkey together… To serve the world now…
Each breath is a blessing, Resting your mind
Calming you and guiding you with ease
Every moment is taken with awareness of all sensations
Let the daily tasks of life become ones meditation
Always aware and returning to a breath of peace
If hungry? Eat. If tired? Sleep. Simplify life
For example… What possessions do we truly need?
To question is zen… To question is mindfulness
Ask yourself why one would cling to worldly possessions
But let not a possession cloud ones mind either
Return to your breath upon every reflection
To let go of ones worldly attachments will end the suffering
With everything being impermanent, why attach?
Choosing to move on with mindfulness and peace
Think of others and what you may have to offer them for their needs
A childhood saying… Do unto others what you wish done unto you
And after that thought, we return to the breath once again…
In… and out…
Focusing on the breath, let your thoughts come and go,
Do not dwell on them
Let the thought go…
In… and out…
Infinite black skies as I arise; No more need to why
As I search for my finds; Awake by design-mind
Zen like street light as the trees sway in the breeze
Darkest night; sparked as words take flight
Nuero receptors part like the red sea; calm and deadly
Medley for a monk; a mantra like funk
Tough luck and taken as a blessing
Heal and resting and manifesting the next thing
There is no try
There is no who, what, where and why.
Theres an emptiness
There is no eye… “I”
There is no me, yours and mine.
What exactly IS devine?
Have empathy and compassion
Only an empty hand can grasp this.
I dream of the promise land; where peace abides
Mountains streamline across the sky
Prayer flags cross the trails on my path to freedom
I am given help along my jouney
Compassion for all the sentient beings on earth
This is my path and it was always meant for me
Rebirth; Samsara
Or a heavenly Nirvana
Eyes transfixed on Buddha
I chant in Sanskrit
Return to center and emit a white light
Transmit across the atlas
Slow my breathing
Completely enveloped in my practice
Place the candles lit
Offerings for the path I follow
Bowing to them; I’m very thankful
For yesterday, today, tommorow
Close my eyes and listen
My karmatic conditions
Meditating a vision
Peace, love and forgiveness
Now; did I inherit
My past lifes merit
I feel blessed; until my death
I must share it
Thank you universe
Thank you for my buddha nature
Thank you for food and shelter
Thank you for now;
Thank you for later.
-Nina
I had never heard such a silence
Like an eye of the storm
Forming my perfect circle
This is afar from the urban jungle
The deserted sands and plains
Cascading mountain range…
Away…
-Nina
Gaining some insight when meditation is in flight
Self subjection who is I; Reflections
I’m many interchanging atoms that rebuilds the self
Intertwined; its likes to rewind as well
Look to the future; obtuse obscured view
I’m in me and everything I see and hear is in me
In between the nuerons and in between the ears
All of my flaws and blessing and alternate settings
My lifes and dislikes that change daily; like memories fading
I am ever-changing
As I sit
Meditating.
-Nina

I awaken as the night sky pours on the concrete
Moonlight cascades the mountain ranges and trees
A quietness and stillness as the darkness explores
It is serene and void of the daylights abrubt
Here is where anything is possible and the unreal comes to life
The animals no longer hide; roaming the terrain
The fox; wolf; racoons; coyotes; owls and bears
I feel as if a visitor in this time and place and I respect it
I respect its sacredness and its divine still
While streetlights flicker along the cascading streets
Not a sound and not a movement nor passing cars
All is still yet I know it is very much alive
When I awaken to the nights sky
