The body awoke early as usual on this New Years Day. I was up about my usual time of 6:30 am. It is still dark. It takes me a few minutes to get myself organized and awake enough to do morning sitting practice. It has been a couple of years now, I no longer think [...]
We had seven in session #5. The closing words of encouragement I provided was as follows:
Meditation is a great way to bring us back to ourselvesWhere we can really experience our full being, beyond all our unhealthy habitual patterns. In the stillness and silence of meditation, we can return to that deep inner connection that [...]
Had 5 attendees at session #4.
As in past practice, I made a closing statement as follows:
When we are feeling down or feel that the things are getting too heavy, we remind ourselves that quiet mediation will help us reconnect to the source from which we came from. Meditation can effectively help us reach our inner self which is a [...]
I was deeply honored to lead the Diamond Bar English session on July 13, 2008, as Brother JMJM and Sister Emily were out of town. I have been reading several books on the Zero-Point Field, Akashic Field, and Consciousness written by several well renowned physicists who are leaders in their field. While much of it [...]

A day with the Master.
It started with just me going to LA to see the Shifu, which was really just an idea since I did not really have the funds to do so. But I would plan on doing it. Rent a car drive down and stay with a friend, I could make that sacrifice [...]

I came across an article called a Buddhist Response to Global Warming. The Title reminded me of Brother Ronald’s post on that subject and my post about Karma and Environment. Following that title I came across this website Ecological Buddhism.
It was interesting to read some other Buddhist thoughts on our spiritual connection & responsibly to [...]

Since I was in LA this weekend for the Kung Fu stuff on Sat. I figured I would go by Diamond Bar and sit with the Ch’an family at the somewhat new location. It was about 45 min drive from where I was staying and started early so I was up and out the door [...]

We got a request from an East Asian studies and film student at USC for interviewing us to know about Buddhist practitioners’ perspectives on the nature, the ecosystem and global warming. We scheduled and did the interview today. He shot the video for the entire interview, and it will be used as part of his [...]

This Sat. past, Nov. 3, a half Day retreat was held at the Fremont Meditation center. It was in my mind a re-treat of the Santa Barbara experience. The size was not as large, the venue not a nature center, but the spirit was as good.
We started at 1:30 and went until 5:00. It was [...]
