pabhā — light, radiance, shine

Sabbe tasanti daṇḍassa.
Sabbesaṃ jīvitaṃ piyaṃ.
Attānaṃ upamaṃ katvā;
na haneyya na ghātaye.

All tremble at punishment.
Life is dear to all.

We know a guy named Dave from Idaho who knows his way around a potato! His oven fries are pretty killer.

Ingredients:
Russet potatoes
High heat oil (such as corn oil)
Salt

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425. Cover a baking sheet with foil.

Carefully cut potatoes into fry sizes, being careful to make them all roughly the same size.

Rinse potatoes in a colander. Shake off excess water. Leaving potatoes in the colander, coat potatoes with oil, tossing to make sure they are completely coated.

Bake for 18-23 minutes, until potatoes are soft.

Leave potatoes in the oven. Turn oven to broil at 475. Check potatoes every two minutes to ensure they do not burn. When potatoes are sufficiently browned and crisped, remove from oven. About 8 minutes.

Salt liberally.

Enjoy!

Sambādhe vāpi vindanti,

parāyaṇa— the destination

Kāmaṃ kāmayamānassa,
tassa ce taṃ samijjhati, addhā pītimano hoti.
Laddhā macco yadicchati.
Tassa ce — kāmayānassa, chandajātassa — jantuno
te kāmā parihāyanti,
sallaviddhova ruppati.

If one, longing for sensual pleasure,
achieves it, yes, one’s enraptured at heart.
The mortal gets what one wants.
But if for that person — longing, desiring —
the pleasures diminish,
one’s shattered, as if shot with an arrow.

Sutta Nipāta 4.772, 4.773

Here we go … again! People being THOUGHTLESS, MINDLESS and INDIFFERENT to the environment around them. Have they valued the places they haven’t been able to enjoy these past few months? APPARENTLY NOT! SMH!

dukkhanirodha — the cessation of suffering

Upanīyati jīvitamappamāyu.
Jarūpanītassa na santi tāṇā.
Etaṃ bhayaṃ maraṇe pekkhamāno,
lokāmisaṃ pajahe santipekkho.

Life is swept along, next-to-nothing its span.
For one swept to old age no shelters exist.
Perceiving this danger in death,
one should drop the world’s bait and look for peace.
