25/08/2000 - Interpretation of dali48
Don’t make yourself any idol - in the form of doctrines, theories or ideologies, including the Buddhist, and do not depend on these… (T.N.H.)
Don’t pile up any wealth - because of millions starving in the meanwhile… Don’t take as a target of your life: fame, profit, wealth (see poverty and hunger, etc - d.48) or sensual pleasure (see short illusion plus risk etc - d.48)… Live simply, - and share with those who need it…
6th Rule: As soon as anger and hatred arise, - turn your attention to your breathing to detect the origin and to understand how the essences of the persons are who have caused them in you...
7th Rule: Do not lose yourself in dispersion (see mass festivals etc. - d.48) and in your environment…
Be practicing mindful breathing, and come back into the present moment. - Be around in contact with the marvelous, Refreshing and Healing in you and around you… Plant in yourself the seeds of joy, peace and understanding... The most important rule: Always back to silence - where words only disturb... (Thich Nhat Hanh)

“If I have learned anything in my life, the fact is I am an Island ... I need only depend on myself ... when I lost my husband I remember him saying the day before " What will you ever do alone " I answered do not worry we will be together forever ... but that did not happen he died the next day ... Two years later I still find myself looking for a hand to hold .. I must find that balance... dali48 ... we can read everything, learn form the best , but we must rely on ourselves in the end ... I came to the point of serious health
problems ... I know it’s me I have to reach for ... I am finding that silence in my meditation , my walks to the lake, my music ... your post is right always back to silence ... only way to find one's self ... again many thanks dali48 ... my friend”
