Go ahead and gamble if...
Go ahead and gamble if 3 conditions are met,
1.) You have the necessary skills
2.) You have the luck
3.) There are suckers at the other end
Once these 3 conditions are met, winning is almost certain

Every Light Cast A Shadow
One of the greatest lessons we get to learn in life is that we are often attracted to a bright light in another person. Initially, this light is all we see. It’s so bright and beautiful. But after awhile, as our eyes adjust, we notice that this light is accompanied by a shadow – and usually a fairly large one.
When we see this shadow, we have two choices: We can either shine our own light on the shadow or we can run from it and continue searching for a shadowless light.
If we decide to run from the shadow, we must also run from the light that created it. And we soon find out that our light is the only light illuminating the space around us. Then, at some point, as we look closer at our own light, we notice something out of the ordinary. Our light is casting a shadow too. And our shadow is a bigger and darker than some of the other shadows we’ve seen.
If, on the other hand, instead of running from the shadow, we decide to walk towards it, something amazing happens. We inadvertently cast our own light on the shadow, and likewise, the light that created this shadow casts its light on ours. Suddenly, both shadows begin to disappear. Not completely, of course, but every the part of the two shadows that are touched by the other person’s light illuminate and disappear.
And as a result, we each find more of that bright beautiful light in the other person – which is precisely what we have been searching for all along.

UnTitled
善知识，今发四弘 愿了，更与善知识授无相三归依戒。
善知识，归依觉，两足尊。归依正，离欲尊。归依净， 众中尊。
从今日起，称觉为师，更不归依邪魔外道。以自性三宝常自证明。劝善知识，归依自性三宝。
佛者，觉也。法者，正也。僧者，净也。
自心归依觉，邪迷不 生，少欲知 足，能离财色，名两足尊。
自心归依正，念念无邪见，以无邪见故，即无人我贡高贪爱执著，名离欲尊。
自心归依净，一切尘劳爱欲境界，自 性皆不染 著，名众中尊。
若修此行，是自归依。凡夫不会，从日至夜，受三归戒。若言归依佛，佛在何处？若不见佛，凭何所归？ 言却成妄。善知识，各自观察，莫错用心。经文分明言自归依佛，不言归依他佛。自佛不归，无所依处。今既自悟，各须归依自心三宝。内调 心性，外敬他人，是自归依也。

A weekend well spent!
It was a weekend well spent.
Looking at them....I am grateful for what I am and what I have today....
Looking at them....I felt angry for what nature has done to them....
Looking at them.... I was touched by their effort to live like any others....
"Do not let others do what you can do for yourself"
