Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #170
from your Buddhism expert



Soleil Moon Frye who starred as T.V’s “Punky
Brewster” just gave birth to her second child and
both mother and baby are resting comfortably.






The series began when I was in High School; so you
can understand that I had absolutely no interest in
it when I was on my quest to find both a girl as
well as a college that would have me. A couple of
times I ran across that show when I was channel
surfing and that was all it took for me to realize
that I did not like that show. But detest it or not,
it’s little star soon became a cultural icon… and
now she’s all grown up.


But hey, wait a minuet, if Soleil Frye aged more
then twenty years, then couldn’t that mean that I,
too, have aged more than twenty years. But how?


How could I have aged more than twenty years? Easy;
just as our friends in AA say, “One day at a time.”
How does this relate to Buddha’s teachings? As it
has been written:

“The seasons come and go
in the passing of the year,
the moon waxes and wanes
in the passing of the month,

the sun rises and sets
in the passing of the day
and this chest rises and falls
in the passing of a single breath.

Everything is always changing
all the time.”

Spring is beautiful and temperate, but no one has
ever grabbed it and stopped it from leaving. And so
it is replaced by summer’s inferno. Sunset can be
exquisite but no one can grasp it and stop it from
fading into the onyx, black of night. For those of
us who will receive next month’s course “Centering
Questions” each breath can be blissful. Yet it can
not be grasped and held on to.


Time’s relentless march of impermanence renders
everything non-graspable. Buddha taught that really
getting the phenomena of impermanence is crucial to
accomplishing full enlightenment in this life, and
really becoming the happy campers that we were born
to be.


You could skillfully bring impermanence into the path
of letting-go through the mental yoga of the “Sutric
Questions” found on pages 18 and 19 of “Quick Path
to Happy Peace.” You could download it for FREE by

P.S. If you want become the happy camper you were
born to be, then take advantage of Buddha’s teachings
about impermanence, so you can accomplish
enlightenment in THIS life. If this is what you
desire, then you should practice the “Sutric
Questions.” To really practice them, with any degree
of competency, skill and ease it is absolutely
imperative that you learn all you can about the
Six-syllable mantra, “Om Mani Padme Hum.” That is
exactly why I’ve made the special course, “Mastering
the Mani” available on audio CD. Come and see what
