This is impermanent impermanent IMPERMANENT!
Stoked Dharma!!!
I wish Osho were here
Let Go
The letting go of attachment.
All aboard the Great Vehicle to go through the ups and downs of Samsara.
Ticket to amusement park... $20.00. Disposable camera... $10.00. Freedom from suffering... priceless.
Om Mani....OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Form is empty; emptiness is form
Being fully present
The only thing worse than falling? The fear of falling.
"BARDOOOOOO"
ZOMG! Roller Coaster of Samsara!
We're all gonna die!
As the monks meditated on the wisdom of "emptiness" their stomachs provided a little "emptiness" of their own !!
Must remain mindful...even when the robe becomes wet!
Somehow, I don't think this is the "letting go" that the Dharma speaks of.
