background noise

"background noise" is a collection of draft materials for my work on "applied buddhism", meant to blend principles, practices and philosophy into modern way of life

Activities are endless, like ripples on a stream.
They end only when you drop them.
Human moods are like the changing highlights and shadows on a sunlit mountain range.

All activities are like the games children play,
like castles being made of sand.
View them with delight and equanimity,
like grandparents overseeing their grandchildren
or a shepherd resting on a grassy knoll watching over his grazing flock.
