What makes a warrior? |
A strong and powerful mind, not niceness, is needed to reach liberation.
--Rama
You want to be macho, dude?
You want to be a powerful
Magician?
Prove your mettle
By taming your own dark side
for the sake of love.

The Warriors Reminder
i am awake, my mind is free, i am creative, i love myself,
my willpower is strong, i am brave, i practice patience,
i don't judge folks, i give, not to recieve,
i don't expect, i accept, i listen more than i talk,
i know i'll change, i'll hold on one more day, i start over when necessary,i create my own situations, i am cosmic, i do not have the answers,i desire to learn, i am the plan, i am strong, i am weak,
i want to grow, i know i will, i take on responsibility,
i hide myself from no one, i'm on my own path,
warriors walk alone, i won't let my focus change,
taking out the demons in my range
(buy the album "Mama's Gun")...peace

In my core I fear for a world I already feared for.
In my core the outlook is bleak.
In my core the future is bright.
In my core I have no hope.
In my core I have hope for a world.
In my core I have tears for me.
In my core I have tears for us all.
In my core I have no love to give.
In my core I have love in infinite amounts for all my fellow beings.
In my core I have the strength of the Universe.
In my core I barely have strength for me.
In my core I want to lay down and not get up again.
In my core I can go on forever.
In my core I have infinite laughter.
In my core I have infinite sadness.
In my core I find that despite all that happens
light finds it's way to help set me free.
Free of my self, free of those around me,
free of fear, free of doubt, free to share the love thats in me.
In my core I am still a child looking up lost saying why mommy, why?
In my core a warrior stirs, looking down at the child,
do not be afraid all is as it should be. Change yourself, and the world will change with you.
--SuZen
Why did the Buddhist Master cross the road?
He didn't, the road crossed him.
--Rama
In your big mind, everything has the same value. Everything is Buddha himself. You see something or hear a sound, and there you have everything just as it is. In your practice you should accept everything as it is, giving to each thing the respect given to a Budddha. Here there is Buddhahood. Then Buddha bows to Buddha, and you bow to yourself. This is the true bow.
If you do not have this firm conviction of big mind in your practice, your bow will be dualistic. When you are just yourself, you bow to yourself in its true sense, and you are one with everything. Only when you are you yourself can you bow to everything in its true sense. Bowing is a very serious practice. You should be prepared to bow even in your last moment; when you cannot do anything except bow, you should do it. This kind of conviction is necessary. Bow with this spirit and all the precepts, all the teachings are yours, and you will posses everything within your big mind.
--Suzuki
