Attānaṃ ce tathā kayirā;
yathāññamanusāsati,
sudanto vata dametha.
Attā hi kira duddamo.
One should do what one teaches others to do;
if one would train others,
one should be well controlled oneself.
Difficult, indeed, is self-control.
Dhammapada 12.159
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from the Pali by Acharya Buddharakkhita

The only way to live as the one beyond the body is to realize the body; is to see that the body is the body. Now, that appears very close to saying the body is the body and I am not the body, but n…

nirodha — the cessation
Ye dhammā hetuppabhavā,
tesaṃ hetuṃ Tathāgato āha
tesañca yo nirodho;
evaṃvādī Mahāsamaṇo.
Those phenomena arising from a cause,
of these the Enlightened One has told the cause
and also their cessation;
this is the “doctrine” of the Great Recluse.
Vinaya 3.60
The Discourse Summaries by S.N. Goenka
A decision has been made and you’re taking your first optimistic steps towards your goals. You have set things in motion and there is no turning back now. You know what you need to do and you have the confidence to do it. You have the ability to lead and a vision that can inspire. Forgiveness of others or yourself may be required in order to let go of the past. With the bright future ahead of you, it is an ideal time to let go of past hurts. You might also be traveling abroad. Coming together with others and negotiating or trading could also be implied, and these energies suggest equality and cooperation in such endeavors. Ultimately, growth is certain.
Aloha kakahiaka a me Hau’oli aloha Po’alima … I lā nani nou oukou. O ka maluhia no me ‘oe.
Good morning and Happy Aloha Friday … Have a beautiful day, everyone! Peace be with you.

When my apprentice, now mistress of herbs in her own right, and I first made mead, it wasn’t nearly that much of a trial as some authors seemed to imply. I personally think it’s easier than canning, which frankly makes me nervous. You almost can’t screw up making mead, and it’s one of the most sacred and magical tasks we do here in the Medieval Still Room that connects us to our ancestors. My husband pronounced it as the best concoction to come out of the brewing room yet!
Mead is possibly one of the first alcoholic beverages and has achieved…

sacca — the truth
Phuṭṭhassa lokadhammehi,

When faced with the vicissitudes of life,
one’s mind remains unshaken,
sorrowless, stainless, secure;
this is the greatest welfare.

“When I am fully present in this moment, I have everything I need. “
You are being plagued by worry, anxiety and fear. Having trouble sleeping, or having nightmares? That’s because of all those thoughts racing through your mind. Sometimes when we don’t deal with a situation in the light of day, it haunts us by night. Worrying is pointless unless it drives us to do something about the troublesome situation. Start confronting your worries and fears. Start taking steps to solve your problems. Talk to someone about what’s on your mind. Write in a journal whatever it is that is bothering you. When you see the words, you can face the problem. Start taking better care of your health. Don’t just sit there: go to it!
Aloha Kakahiaka oukou a me hau’oli la Pōʻaha. Aloha kekahi i kekahi Hoihoi keia nani lā. O ka maluhia no me ‘oe.
