In Pursuit of the Buddha

I am a student, I have questions and go on quests. I find meditating very hard to do, I chant sporadically, and try to do something positive daily. As a person, I meet Kind Buddhas every day in the form of my teachers and Sangha members. In this space, I am a mere curator of things that I find interesting, connected to Buddhism, good things, and great people. If I write something it does not mean that it is writ in stone and the true word, it only means I like a thought, or am mulling over a couple. Talking and thinking aloud is what I do best. All I am doing right now is craving for a quiet mind, and a shamatha space. Much love to you all you can write me a line at chirotipheni (at) yahoo (dot) com

A prayer for our country? The plight of my country is disturbing. A lack of leadership, we are definitely at a degenerate time politically, financially and very in secure as a people.
