Forgiveness and Loss

Most people think that because we live monastic lives we seldom make mistakes. This is not so. I don’t know that we could live for even a day without making mistakes. We are all guilty of getting caught up in our own passion and process so much so that we sometimes fail to see the consequences of our actions when we initiate or engage them. We lose so many precious things in this way. And loss hurts. We can ask forgiveness of those whom we have hurt.… Continue

In reality, it is the only complete living system that we know of which fosters the uncompromising freedom of the individual to soar beyond the… Continue

Transcending Thought - A Blog by Laffing Monk (Mother Maya)

As a Hindu, I do not seek to believe in God but to know God. This "God" or Isvara is within the Self.

Because Hinduism is a vast and ancient record of cosmic sciences, it is more than a religion. Indeed, it has no other known… Continue
