Walking the path of mindfulness one breath at a time. I'm just doing my part to live a peaceful life as an Italian American Buddhist in Buffalo, NY of all places! I am a Buddhist who follows in the tradition of the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and HH the 14th Dalai Lama but I enjoy teachings from all Buddhist traditions. I try to be open to everything. I wish you peace! Feel free to contact me at: bhodi@italianbuddhist.com, www.facebook.com/italianbuddhist

One way to truly enjoy life
While sitting in the sun with new friends I stop to pause...I find a big way to truly enjoy a period in my life is to be present and take whatever is handed to me. With no expectations anything that comes my way is a beautiful surprise. I try to remain present. I look at those around me and bow to the Divine in them. In this resort town called Wildwood Crest, New Jersey people smile and are gracious. I just do what I am SUPPOSED to do. What am I supposed to do? The Five Precepts. Not commandments, just sensible suggestions. Pause, right thinking and actions, loving kindness and being present. Whatever happens happens. positive and negative things that happen to me are the result of karma. It's all good. Don't you think?
