Weaponry
September 23, 2008
Conquer the angry man with love.
Conquer the ill-natured man with goodness.
Conquer the miser with generosity.
Conquer the liar with truth.
~ Buddha
There's a symbolic dagger in Tibetan Buddhism. Three scary-looking figures appear on the handle representing charity, chastity and patience. Although these may seem a strange form of weaponry, these powerful creatures are always within our grasp to help us through adversity.
Imagine living in a world that honored such brave and selfless concepts. Imagine a stock market, government, and financial system that honored these precepts. Be careful... speaking the truth out loud might upset some people... it's too contrary to the current stream of thinking, but that change and is changing as more of us become Truthmongers and Peaceseekers, please.

Thanks for that thought. It really made my day. Especially working Government Acquisitions.
