I am not a Buddhist, but find it very interesting, we have a temple near to where I live, which is quite beautiful and a Peace Pagoda, which has to be seen to be believed, it is just considered by many who live in this new town as a landmark, but it is much more than that. If you go here http://www.mkbuddhism.org.uk/ and click on Peace Pagoda on the left hand links you will see a photo of it and read about it. It was in fact the first Peace Pagoda to be built in the Western Hemisphere, and has encased within it remains of the Lord Buddha. The monks who live and work in the temple are among the most amazing people i have ever had the pleasure of meeting, all their food is donated and their life is so simple, yet so very caring. Even the disseffected teenagers we took there to visit the temple were not their usual rowdy selves, even they could not deny the sense of peace that radiated from that building and the people within it.

I see my fellow monk Palzang beat me to it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'll never forget the night -- October 12, 1990 -- that I took my refuge and bodhisattva vows. Really a threshold moment, but also one that felt like slipping on comfortable old shoes, you know?<BR/><BR/>The most gorgeous part of Buddhism for me is how its heart is overbrimming with love and compassion.

There is so much to say to you about all this, but in the end, I feel anything that could be said would be expressed so much better by just breathing together. I have attended other jukai ceremonies, but this one sounds amazing. Thanks to you, I have finally gone and dug up my zafu, and I think I might even try to look up a ZC here in my new city, too.

They were a Tibetan Buddhist group, and it's a different path that your Zen group takes, but a similar end (if I understood what I was doing). When I had to leave, the friend that I knew there gave me a small bronze Shakyamuni Buddha statue. I moved to Halifax, I could have studied intensely there but didn't. We choose. I have moved again to Guelph, Ontario, and I may study here just because your post made me remember what I felt like in a sea of turmoil, and how I found a friend. I am also a practicing Catholic, something I haven't done for 20 years. I don't even think I believe in God per se, but I like the ritual of the church.<BR/>The moment I try to recapture (why Christmas?) is one of looking out my bedroom window in the middle of a Christmas eve,(we lived in the country) and seeing the full moon sparkle off the backyard snow. A field full of diamonds. I've never seen anything so beautiful, I've never felt so full, I would love to have that again.<BR/>Your post reminded me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1164059418836308512006-11-20T16:50:00.000-05:002006-11-20T16:50:00.000-05:00Thank you, dear Franklin, for sharing this.(My wor...Thank you, dear Franklin, for sharing this.<BR/><BR/>(My word verification is ZENBFX.
