Sure did, @NightHawk999 ! Beautiful song, thanks!
And today, with beloved @BlessingsDeers 's encouragement, I am posting this for our collective edification! Happy to invite @_Barry @fenwizard @mbready and @Bucket and all others along.
This offering reflects a deepening of understanding of Pitacca-samuppada- Dependent origination- …the Buddha’s teaching on linear and synchronic causes and effects. Thanks going out to Simeon B. Mihaylov for his illuminations on this topic. See https://youtu.be/ryZp2UOobP8?si=49gdAzNRfdtIGOVu.
See also his prolific YouTube channel entitled Seeker to Seeker for so much more…
This study happened in perfect synchronicity with @BlessingsDeers’ sending along an artful and heartfelt gratitude that reminded me of the “blessing lights” of Amitabah Buddha, as shared in Tulku Thondup’s pure land meditation: The blessing lights purify the defilements as Ven.Tulku Thondup describes. See below:
Rejoice, rejoice and again I say rejoice!
