Pure Mountain Tao

Yesterday was Christmas eve and I was across from an emergency room at a hospital. Sickness, death, they take no holidays. Grim faced family and friends around the ambulances. No one knows if they will see tomorrow or if they do, if they will be in good health. Remember your blessings daily and be mindfully thankful.

When you get to the top of the mountain, keep climbing because you are not at the top yet.

You most likely have heard several ’ techniques’ for dealing with anger such as take a deep breath, say a mantra, or count to ten. You may as well fall on the ground and throw a tantrum for all the good these techniques will do you. There is only one way to effectively deal with anger, and that is to get to know it. Contemplation and prayer will help you to get to know your anger and many other feelings and give you the inner strength to overcome them.
