Cattāri Brahmavihārā

Today is the uposatha and it will be the second I have observed after a long hiatus. Slowly, slowly I am beginning to put the pices of my practice back together as I integrate a real understanding that life will not simply acquiesce to my ideas and plans and that the true Dhamma can face and overcome the crises and emergencies of life–even if though it may take a modicum of pain and suffering to realize this. Nonetheless I am happy and feel blessed to be able to undertake the observance (even if only imperfectly) and to be able to rely on the support of my Dhamma friends and family far and wide. May your practice bring you peace and contentment and may you realize the Deathless!
