Often we block the flow of our real nature and expression through love, peace and compassion as we generate impurities in our mind. Impurities manifest in the form of different emotions. One easy way to avoid this blockage is to be in the present moment and accepting the reality as it is.

Last night, in place of the circle of sharing, we had a surprise guest speaker -- Cynthia Jurs.
Cynthia has practiced in the Tibetan Vajrayana and Zen Buddhist traditions for 25 years and in 1994 received dharma transmission from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to teach Engaged Buddhism. She directs the Open Way Sangha in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which draws from all wisdom traditions to teach an approach to living in awareness in relationship to the Earth through dedicated practice, ceremony, retreat and pilgrimage. In 1990, she met a 106-year-old Tibetan hermit and meditator, who asked her to bring healing and protection to the Earth by filling and burying Earth Treasure Vases in places of need around the world. To date, 23 of the 30 vases have been planted around the world, and the journey of the next seven is unfolding now.
Audio of Cynthia's talk (mp3), with stories from her journey:
This article was excerpted from MLK's talk titled 'Unfulfilled Dreams.

Here is the essence of the Kabir song I offered last night:
Like a bird leaving everything behind, we will all have to fly out alone one day.
As a falling leaf that is carried by the wind, we don't know where exactly we will land.
We don't know when the moment of death will arrive, but until then, keep doing your good deeds.
And the audio:
