| When the chill northeast wind blows, And winter tells a heavy tale, When pyres and dawes and doobes and crowes Do sit and curse the frostes and snowes, Then give me ALE |

| Quote of the moment |
| If you get proud and haughty as a result of long study and understanding, it is very unfortunate. If we see pride among people who have no idea about Dharma practice, it is understandable. However, if afflictive emotions and haughtiness are present among Dharma practitioners, it is a great disgrace to the practice. |

| The three physical nonvirtues are killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct. The four verbal nonvirtues are lying, divisiveness, harsh speech, and senseless speech. The three mental nonvirtues are covetousness, harmful intent, and wrong view. |

| Quote of the moment |
| O slavish man! will you not bear with your own brother, who has God for his Father, as being a son from the same stock, and of the same high descent? But if you chance to be placed in some superior station, will you presently set yourself up for a tyrant? |

| Quote of the moment |
| In metropolitan cases, the love of the most single-eyed lover, almost invariably, is nothing more than the ultimate settling of innumerable wandering glances upon some one specific object. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Pierre (1852), bk. XV, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 7, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1971). ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Your experience will enable you to understand what "consciousness" implies and what it is. Consciousness is a nonobstructing phenomenon, is nonmaterial, and has the quality of luminosity; that is, it reflects any object by arising in the aspect of that object. Consciousness is like a crystal stone; while a crystal is resting on a colored surface you cannot see the real untinted clarity of the crystal stone, but once you take the crystal away from the surface you can perceive its actual clarity. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, February 25, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
