For those are, Whom are present!
You are the Present ( I mean gift)

I love smiling into each and everyone of your faces and I wonder why I find fear in so many eyes?
I am so confused too! I am so caught in awe most of the time!

There is this friend of mine ( a cat ) he meows in the morning to get fed. He always seems like he is saying "NOW!"
Then I think about that and I get mad at myself for being selfish! I always take myself so far away from that! Then he meows again! I then promptly feed him! I exaggerate though sometimes it takes a lot longer!

To many punctuation marks I must be excited dizzle! I mean call me a dumbo but this is what my day is made of. Feeding cats and trying to learn how to love and listen to everyone I happen to come across.

So there are 10 dharma activities what are they and how do I do it?

My guess is:

1. Right view
2. Right intention
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration
9. Right insight knowledge
10. Right liberation

Hi friedenbaum,

I'm not clear about your reference to '10 dharma activities'. Could you clarify if you are refering to something connected to Tibetan Buddhism, please?

with kind wishes,

A-D

I was just stating how I know nothing of dharmic activities. I just try and live my life with love, and how that is so freaking hard. I am just trying to be a better a person while bringing a smile to a few faces. I am sort of an idiot though

Or maybe:

1. Non-harming
2. Non-remorse
3. Gladness
4. Joy
5. Tranquility
6. Happiness
7. Concentration
8. Knowing and seeing reality
9. Non-attachment
10. Freedom

Simone Weil was a Christian mystic wasn't she ?

In our heart we can find a true refuge. In our heart, we can know/feel what brings true well-being

It's fine to take Refuge at home, don't worry about it too much !

Yeah she was sort of! she was called lots of things. She died in a sanatorium in Ashford England. There is confusion an how she died though. Some thought she starved herself in protest during the german occupation of france. She was french and tried to fight but she was to clumsy!
