Hi SA, I'm taking a breather too. Literally. But I've also spent extra time with my grandson. The first day of Spring, which was a day full of heavy rain, we spent coloring eggs using a tie-die technique. It was great fun, and the contrasting color combinations were inspiring. I have now the three books: The Heart Sutra, The Diamond Sutra, and The Platform Sutra. As much as I feel there is something missing from the Buddhist teachings, I continually find myself attracted to it. That something missing is like a filling that has fallen out of a tooth. I am constantly aware and exploring what's missing. It's also like your, "Can't really put my finger on it fully yet." I have read many books about Buddhism, including many by the Dalai Lama. They seem perfect, except...? Anyway, the editions I have were written by Red Pine. I'm not sure where to start. Is there a sequence to reading these sutras? Do you know, or have, an suggestion. The Science and the MOQ thread seems to have dissolved. It was so interesting. Every Spring I get it into my mind imagining what it must feel like for the deer to start nibbling the new, tender young leaves of the trees. I envy them. I've thought of making a new tree-leaf salad, but never have. chilly, but Spring, Marsha Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars...
