Yours in the Dharma:  Essays from a Buddhist perspective by Sandy Garson

This blog, Yours in the Dharma by Sandy Garson, is an effort to navigate life between the fast track and the breakdown lane, on the Buddhist path. It tries to use a heritage of precious, ancient teachings to steer clear of today's pain and confusion to clear the path to what's truly happening.

Thanks giving for the 99%

Here is my Thanksgiving food for thought about those turkeys, the one percent. It's a quote from the venerable Kyabgon Traleg Rinpoche.

"You must realize that if your whole purpose in life is to pursue wealth, to protect friends and relatives, and to destroy enemies, you will not be spending your time well and are actually causing a lot of harm. When death arrives nothing will be of any use except the spiritual insights you developed while alive."
