Poem: Spiritual Upgrade

Something great is happening for me,

regardless of the situations I see;

my Lord is working behind the scene

and I have been spiritually weaned.

Walking by faith and not by sight,

insures that I sleep well at night.

Happily I enter daily into His rest,

knowing that I’m divinely blessed.

I’m often filled with peace and joy,

when sacred Scriptures are employed;

with a heart of a believer’s trust,

I overcome the pain of being concussed

I'm entering a strange new world (and I kind of love it)

Define Novel Length

After almost a solid month of plotting, characterization, pacing, and creating setting, I finally wrote the last sentence to my new novel before I start the revision process. Feeling elated I sat back in my office desk chair and beamed, enjoying the pleasurable sensations of finishing this stage of the project. Then suddenly, I was stricken with horror. I had written the story to completion. There was nothing more I could say or add to the story. It was done in my mind.

 

But……

Buddhist Dilema during the colonial days

Buddhists dilemma during the colonial days

 

Buddhism was portrayed as sinful and blasphemous as a religion of the illiterate and backward people. It was then highly fashionable to be Christians, use Christian names, eat with steel forks and steel spoons, and carry a holy book every Sunday.

 

Buddhists were also hindered in other ways:

 

1)      Their children must be baptized to be eligiable for birth certificates

2)      Unbaptized…

Sakyamuni Buddha, Part 2

 

When Siddhartha attained  Nibbana He wanted to help His former teachers but they were beyond help because they were reborn  as unconscious beings (Asanna Satta). These are beings born because of  the trance they were in and they have no thoughts, but a succession of atoms of and energy. They remain like statues and at the end of many aeons, will again get the rebirth thought and normal life with conscious activity in the three realms with ceaseless renewing existence either in hell,…

Introduction to Buddhism, Part 2

 

 

Buddhism has never been dogmatic, cynical, dictatorial, or monopolistic. Buddhists tenets have never been ambiguous. They never attempt to hoodwink, mislead, inflate or deceive others, or to exert control over others, things or events. Using force or pressure to induce belief is repugnant to the Buddhists and they also don't use high positions to attract converts. Buddhism does not consist of dictatorial religious laws and religious punishment. The Buddhists never had…

Introduction to Buddhism, Part 1

Introduction:

The motive in writing this book is not to show others that Buddhism is superior to all other religions.  It is to revive the teachings and spread it.

Buddhism was not derived from Hinduism and was not stereotyped as many anti-Asian people used to believe. This group of racists said the fire and brimstones hells mentioned in Buddhism were borrowed from Christianity, not realizing that Buddhism was prevalent over 500 years before Jesus was born.
