Pre-sectarian Buddhism was developed by the Buddha himself. This is the oldest school and the main stream of Buddhism.

What is an ordination? We believe that an ordination is the personal declaration of your powerful determination, confidence, and self-reliance to attain the final salvation in this life.

When I think of South, it brings to mind the rays of the Sun giving light, warmth, strength and a sense of well-being. Kerkoutha is the Angel Prince of the South, helping us ground excess nervous energy, re-connecting us with our inner-essence and with Mother Earth.

Loving your enemies, this sounds like an oxymoron. Why would you want to love someone that has hated you, persecuted you, done you wrong? It just does not make sense and it goes against our natural human instinct. It is easier to hate those who hate you and dish out the same disrespect that they did to you. But as Christians we are called to do something different. We are called to mirror the emotions of God which is love, always for all people, no matter what.

This past weekend was my birthday, I turned 31 years old. I personally do not think that this is old at all. However, others seem to still give me that Image result for afraid of getting older ” Your getting older, still single, and not married yet” face.

ETERNITY is in the heart of the person who holds everything not of God lightly. There are two words of cogently salubrious meaning in the above translation: “hoard” and “valuable.”

The union of the soul with God is sometimes called the Spiritual Marriage. As in human marriage two ‘persons’ are ‘oned’ and ‘become one flesh,’ so in the Spiritual Marriage, metaphorically, God and the soul become one.

Are you passing your spiritual tests? We believe everyone frequently has the opportunity to pass spiritual tests, and in the process create a better world and good karma for the future.

SECRETS are usually more likely to get us in trouble than glorify our faith. But this is our opportunity to ‘impress’ God, who is not otherwise impressed, unless our hearts are temporarily of a holy disposition. The reason we can know this is the cool blessing we receive for having been at joy in secret: to do something of obedience, and for only God to know, there is the experience of blessing! A spiritual blessing, for our reward is an inside job. But it’s not natural to seek after God in order to seek to impress him and not our contemporaries.

FULFILLING the Law and the Prophets was Jesus’ call. The Word of God came into the world so religion would no longer be devoid of the heart that eternally underpins the law. The chief priests and Pharisees would achieve the letter of the law – to diligently fast – but they usurped the blessings of God for themselves and, therefore, the missed the point, and they missed out! Theirs was no worship of God, but a worship of their very selves – what an irony.

What we call the “present moment,” including all that appears within it, is actually a timeless Presence; it is not the outcome of the past, or a door to some imagined future. Passing time is just one of the ways in which that which is always present appears; but this movement of time no more defines or confines this Presence than does the rising and setting of the sun change the nature of light.

February 18th 2015 Today was Ash Wednesday. It is not just some ritual that says you are Catholic. It is a reminder of our mortality and frailty.
