If There Be Sorrow by Mari Evans

If there be sorrow
let it be
for things undone
undreamed
      unrealized
           unattained
to these add one:
love withheld
    restrained

Will Ferrell reigning as Bacchus XLIV

I love Will FerrelI. I love the Krewe of Bacchus parade on Napoleon Avenue and the Uptown parade in New Orleans. I love the bands. I love it all. I missed it this year, but luckily I have these great photos to look at by Matthew Hinton. Matthew is a talented photographer at The Times-Picayune.

The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind

Peaceful
The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind by Lama Yeshe

I read this book again for the fifth time and wow! I had forgotten the power of Lama Yeshe's wisdom. He is realistic about striving for satisfaction in our materialistic world. My favorite part of his direct nature is that he is realistic about what it takes to understand one's mind and more importantly why it is a prerequisite, for well, just about anything. 

The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind contains six teachings by Lama Yeshe. You do not need Buddhist beliefs to benefit. All teachings are filled with love, insight and compassion as well as Q&A sections. This book is short and easy-to-read. In addition, full of guidance - while reading the book I did not feel like he was "giving" advice. LamaYeshe has a way of opening my mind and for that I am grateful. 

Favorite quote: "...really wise people do not hold extreme beliefs." 

If you would like a soft-copy, email me and I'll happily email you a copy.

Editor's Instruction in 2004: 

Welcome to the Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive’s fourth free book of teachings by Lama Yeshe. I’m sure we'll have as much trouble keeping this title in print as we’ve had with our previous publications, Becoming Your Own Therapist, Make Your Mind an Ocean and The Essence of Tibetan Buddhism, all of which we’ve recently reprinted, the first two in a now combined edition. The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind brings to more than 150,000 Lama Yeshe books we have published for free distribution, something we can all rejoice in.
