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.

Hurricane P.S.


Now that power is back on for a moment, I wanted to add that I notice how we are all relating to this hurricane in very personal terms.  I, for one, am not so much waiting for a hurricane as for the loss of electricity because that's what's going to affect ME, what's going to wipe away my equanimity. So much for 25 years of practice.

I also wanted to add that this spontaneous arising called Sandy is a perfect example of impermanence.
Yesterday we were walking on a sandy beach in bright sunshine and tee shirts; today we are cowering under 60mph winds and driving rain.  Tomorrow Nature could end her tantrum and smile warmly on us again. So it goes...it goes and goes changing every minute. Just like the buddha said.
