ENLIGHTENMENT, REAL NEWS, REAL SWEAT
"Enlightenment--
that magnificent escape from anguish and ignorance--never happens by accident.
It results from the brave and sometimes lonely battle of one person against his own weaknesses."
-Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano, "Landscapes of Wonder"

That powerful quote appeared on today's "High Plains Warrior" Blog by Thomas Ward...so what are you still doing reading "newspapers", unconsciously and predictably fingering the corpses of Tree Beings as your precious eyes absorb the violence from a non-Practicing Outer World? Is this TRULY the Way you wish to nourish your cells? And you are worrying about how many fat grams are in that Bagel and Cream Cheese? ilg says, worry less about your physical nutrition and more about your spiritual nutrition!
That quote inspired me greatly...thank you, Warrior ThOMas!
In return,
here is are a couple of Dharma Arrows for your WF quiver today,
a classic quote from Jerome

"No athlete is crowned but by the sweat of his brow."
- Jerome

* A typical city newspaper requires dozens of trees, millions of gallons of precious water, and countless counts of suffering in the manufacturing and delivery process. You, by reading such Dark Missives, contribute and ingest the same. Why not read REAL NEWS; the insights registered each day on the WF Blogs from our WF Tribesman and Tribeswomen?
