About to leave to Denver in the NSX. It will be a bumpy ride, but a fun one.:smile:
It was a pleasure meeting everyone at the meet and the brunch.
I will be back in SOCAL again on Friday, got to switch cars and bring back the S500.
Not all of you are Buddhists, but in essence all religions (not cults) are essentially good. It is the man or interpreter that is clouded that misinterprets, so although we have different religions in essence we have the same objective.
The greatest monk Siddharta says that the only lasting happiness is through peace of mind. Your mind must be trained to be peaceful as it often wanders in so many directions with what we busy ourselves with in our daily lives. By doing only good things, speaking less and speaking only in times of need with something that is constructive, to understand that nothing in this world is permanent as this is the strongest cycle that is true everywhere and is what nature and everything is based out of, to be able to understand that nothing in this world is really yours as it is such thinking that causes pain because eventually we will lose everything the day we die and it is more important to lead a fruitful and complete life that isn't based on consuming and feeding our desires.
May we all have kindness to one another because this is what the world needs the most rather than a society that seems to constantly sacrifice so many things for a simply better economy or materialistic objectives that will never give us lasting happiness.
I've been a monk for 2 months so I wanted to share to some people that I've recently shared a moment in time with. It is very fortunate and the most difficult to be born a human being and it is thus even more fortunate for a group of people to meet and share each other's company. A human being is never evil but it is his desires and lack of peace that clouds his true self. To be able to be born a human being you have must have done a lot of great and positive things. So love and respect yourself and you will allow others to do the same to and for you.:smile:
Regards,
Ton
