  1. How do you stop the leakage?

    … 15. The common people see things clearly; 16. I alone am in the dark. 17. The common people discriminate and make fine distinctions; 18. I alone am muddled and confused. … 21. The masses all have their reasons [for acting]; 22. I alone am stupid and obstinate like a rustic. 23. But my desires alone differ from those of others— 24. For I value drawing sustenance from the Mother. DDJ Ch. 20 (Henricks, MWD)

    (Google) Zhurong (祝融 zhùróng), is also the name of the Chinese rover on Mars.

    Wow, very nice indeed to see e.g. the fruits, pineapple and lily flowers. If I may make one suggestion, make sure to keep the focus on your Guan Yin statue. E.g. keep more space open around her. What’s the little bowl in front of her, is it for water? If so, I’d choose a smaller bowl and put it aside of her on her right side (not in front where it obscures the view of her). And I would stand her on a flat surface, not a plate (that’s for placing offerings). But you create it your way, and it’s great as it is.

    How did you know?
  8. Have you ever been blessed by someone?

    Awareness is flow.
  9. Have you ever been blessed by someone?

    “Have you ever been blessed by someone?” (thread title). I received the blessing of the Dalai Lama in 1994.
  10. Have you ever been blessed by someone?

    Problems come from putting on the outside what’s actually on the inside.

    Reminds me of the Merovingian in the Matrix movie.
