Think About this
Don't cling to anything and don't reject anything. Let come what comes, and accomodate yourself to that, whatever it is. If good mental images arise, that is fine. If bad mental images arise, that is fine, too. Look on all of it as equal, and make yourself comfortable with whatever happens. Don't fight with what you experience, just observe it all mindfully.
- Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"
Sunday Thoughts
Enough of that, here is the thought for our lazy Sunday:
|
If you really want freedom, happiness will arise From happiness will come rapture When your mind is enraptured, your body is tranquil When your body is tranquil, you will know bliss Because you are blissful, your mind will concentrate easily Being concentrated, you will see things as they really are In so seeing, you will become aware that life is a miracle Being so aware, you will lose all your attachments As you cease grasping, so you will be freed. - Digha Nikaya |
Spells & Personal Gain
Take for example those weight loss program spells. This is something that maybe with full intent, an exercise program and eating right might just work. But a spell on its own for weight loss? Maybe not a good ides.
The Gods/Goddesses enjoy helping those that help their selves. Try to remember that there is NO quick fix out there for anything. Spell or no spell you have to want the change in order to have it work. Plus you might need to help in other areas as well. Like being an active participant in the working!
Super Bowl Sunday
Instead of looking up things on natural acne remedies people are hustling and bustling looking up stats instead!
If you are having a SB party we hope that you do so in a safe and sound manner. If drinking, please be responsible and look out for others at your gathering that may be a little to tipsey to drive home
Have fun and be safe!!!!
Site Walk Abouts
In viewing these sites students will send countless URL's to us to look at. While we enjoy reading and looking at the sites we do not have time to comment on each one.
We do appreciate it though and have found many great sites that we have passed on as well to different associates of ours!
Keep up the great work in finding those sites!
February Student Of The Month
This month we are looking at two people. One male and one female to make things equal so to speak. Trying something a little different to see how the masses enjoy this new and hopefully improved system will work out.
Results for February will be announced on the 15th!
Storm Delays
For those that are looking for web or score updates, she is not out looking for personalized gifts but is in fact knee deep in snow and frigid weather!
A quick phone call to ask why certain tasks were not completed on Friday led to the description of near white out Conditions, brown outs on electricity and of course snow coming down in buckets.
Today things may or may not get finished. We are sorry for the delays but snow happens!

From this point on you really know. This is called the pinnacle of Zen, the sovereignty of Zen. It is also called knowledge of what is knowable; it produces all the various states of meditation, and anoints the heads of all spiritual princes. In all fields of form, sound, fragrance, flavor, feeling, and phenomena, you realize complete perfect enlightenment. Inside and outside are in complete communion, without any obstruction at all. - Pai-chang, "The Sphere of the Enlightened" |
Daily Thought
Scores and pages are in the process of being uploaded so don't stress we have your tests and scores under control! So instead of worrying about that here is something to think about for the weekend!
The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.
- Sutta Nipata
