Renewal

"Don't try to use whatever you learn in Buddhism to be a Buddhist. Use it to be a better person from whatever-you-are from this moment" - quotes

I've heard, that there are very little, or maybe even non-existent merits from burning incense everyday; yet if your body, mind and soul is never free. Laymen terms, why do the praying..ask for blessings..bow bow to a statue..knock knock head on the floor....when the inner self is not at bliss. There is no dharma because you have bot become a better person to yourself, to others and to the environment. 

Phewwww let's take a breather. 

I vow to let go. Let go of assumptions, let go of attachment, let go of delusion, let go of negativity. I vow to remind myself again, the only permanence in this life is impermanence. I vow to walk the Middle Way and be at the moment. 

For these vows I have made to myself, every prayers and offerings and bows are devoted to the Triple Gems; so I have the courage, support and reminders to act upon the vows diligently. I am asking for protections and blessings from the Triple Gems for me to be at myself and be better. 

And, this all includes the renewal of my promises to be in love all over again.
