For two days, I've had a visitor. Bartek is a friend of a friend of mine, and since he had only two days left in Holland before he was going back to Poland, he stayed at my place. He was journeybound at 5 this morning, and yesterday I said: "Oh, then I'll see you tomorrow! I'm going to chant at a Buddhist friend's 6.15 in the morning!" In the morning I got up and did gongyo before leaving. Nowadays I feel more like doing that. Bartek left the house somewhat earlier than me, and I took my lights… Continue

This morning: a lecture on Sansho Shima from Japan. it was so exciting that I forgot my notebook and copy of the lecture at J.'s. After retrieving it and after the streetparty I began to re-read it.

Interesting. I've recently joined a free course in Amsterdam to learn about the nature of money. It must be my good karma, after I taught the all-round mystic The Artist's Way course to 10 people for free. As a buddhist I am also very interested in other people's ways of thinking, and creativity and money happen to be two of the interests of my artist. We went off to a slower start than I used to, always travelling at light speed with the power of Myo. Tonight was the second night, and we all… Continue
