I attended a planning meeting this week. The topic for discussion is about faith like fire or flowing water. One person there sounds like he/she is struggling with this — her/his “lazy nature.” Does that constitute fire or water? I think we all have known “faith like fire” Buddhists. All in, really excited, wants to learn everything and then… gone. But does just sticking around constitute “faith like flowing water?”

How do you determine if you have faith like fire or faith like flowing water?

Last weekend, Saturday Night Live did a sketch called “Rude Buddha” where the Buddha made fun of his followers behind their backs. It was very over the top and I found myself giggling.

Here is a link. What do you think?

Happy New Year from fraughtwithperil.com. We all wish you a health, happy and exciting new year.

I don’t make “resolutions” at this time, but I do make goals for the coming year to add to my ever growing list of on-going goals. It is always interesting which goals I accomplish with positive action and which ones just seem to happen. I’ll look back at my goals and realize I accomplished several of them without even knowing it or even remembering I made the goal. Maybe one of my goals should be to check that list more often.
