Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #162
from your Buddhism expert



Patrick Swayze


My three favorite Patrick Swayze films are “Ghost,”
“Point Break,” and “To Wong Foo;” how about you?

Like many actors, he has known both highs and lows
in his career as well as personal life. But like too
few of us, he has hung in there, always ready to
come out swinging and fight his way back to the top.
Whether on screen or off, many of us have rooted for
Patrick over the years. Today, several internet news
sources have both reported his grave struggle with
cancer and have requested their readers to pray for
him.



Let’s use our will, imagination and intention to
embrace the idea that this fellow, who has brought
joy to so many people still has a few more come-backs
left in him.

With hands folded in the “prayer gesture” before our
sternum or breast bone, let’s gaze upon his picture
during our IN-breath and then during the OUT-breath
let’s recite the prayer: “Essence of the Manipa’s
Heart.” You can find it on page 11 of “Quick Path
to Happy Peace.” It is available for FREE download

Although most of us have never met Patrick Swayze,
it can feel as though a friend or an acquaintance
has fallen ill. Is that because of his movie career
or could there be a deeper reason? What are some of
the ways we could all be at least indirectly
connected? What are some of the many things we could
have in common with this actor?

Each of us were born, each of us has tasted the
bitter draft of illness, and each of us dances daily
with the specter of our inevitable demise. What is
it about the certainty of our own death that could
evaporate the trivial distractions that can clutter
our lives?

It has been taught that as we lie dying our awareness
collapses inward, like an umbrella closing. Our
awareness could encompass our hospital room, then our
companions who are sitting with us, then our own body,
then our dimming perceptions. It has been said that
all we can take with us over the threshold of death
is our karma and our practice of the Six-syllable
mantra.
