| About Me
|
|
|
I am a long time meditator, following basic Buddhist beliefs, which I don't push them on others. I don't swear or dwell on negativity. I am a calm person but alert, relaxed but discipline.
I do enjoy spending time by myself, but in no way that I feel lonely- although I get to sense and see things from a different view that way. I go through life like everyone else- feeling frustration, some (rare) anger and irritation but again I don't allow them to dictate me. I like to enjoy simple thing in life, perhaps like sun shine, beach, trees, parks, or even (regular) cold shower- the colder the better! There might be time which I also don't mind the finer things in life but I am not attached to it anyway. I enjoy sports and very good in tennis- did many years of National traveling and a couple years internationally- as a coach.
I would like to meet another person (woman), w/ some similar spiritual interest - who is grounded, kind, intuitive and can stand up on her own if necessary. BTW, I consider myself a strong/ independent type w/ no personal drama-not a control type, don't complaint, passing judgement or look down on anyone. Once I committed to task, I would follow through until finish. I express my true self outwardly through character, action and thoughts. |

| Personality
|
|
|
|
-
My Personality:
-
Quiet, Caring, Playful
-
When out with friends, I'm usually:
-
The quiet one
-
What makes me laugh hardest:
-
Used to live with dogs, when they were doing silly things
-
I'm happiest when:
-
Happiness and unhappiness- comes and goes in cycle
I am simply aware, here and now, so......
I am mostly calm- that's all that matters.
-
The things that annoy me are:
-
Pleasant and unpleasant situation have nothing to do w/ our suffering- the mind is. It is important to remember to apply meditative mind set to the daily life as the practice deepens. While it is good to sit in a quiet place- meditating, real life is full of noise, chaotic situation, people living their lives. Meditation doesn't stop simply because one gets off sitting cushion.
Annoy is a good practice - to see how much focus one has.
Annoyance is simply a test- it teaches us what matters and how much we need to let go.
Although I don't care much for pretentiousness- if you can get away w/ fooling others, but what about the demons inside- the ones you have to live with everyday/ every moment?
-
The best day of my life was when:
-
I don't look at thing as best or worst. I look at what it is that I need to do based on that situation and what has to be done- and go do it.
If it's a nice and sunny day, Ok I'll enjoy it. If it is a cold/ rainy- I am not a gonna get up set because I was planning to go play some tennis. Maybe I'll go walk in the rain also.
-
If I could have dinner with any three people, they would be:
-
Buddha- although I now understand why he took that path, I would too if I were him based upon what I now know of this World (Illusion) and the controls.... it's a mess!!!

Spirituality

Spiritual Orientation:
-
Buddhist, Spiritual, not religious
-
I consider my spirituality...
-
The central focus of my life
-
What brought me to my spiritual path and motivated my interest...
-
Always wanted to overcome the fear/ anxiety. At 8-9 year old, I felt a moment of unspeakable peace/ calm out of nowhere which set the path.
-
I consider the purpose of my spirituality to be...
-
Connecting to something greater than myself, Finding happiness and peace within, Helping me cope with the struggles of life, Building a personal relationship with God, Instilling morality and virtues, Helping me grow as a person
-

-
The soul reincarnates until achieving Liberation

I would define a spiritual experience as...
-
oneness- beyond my own self/ego.
-
A spiritual experience I would like to share...
-
Being aware- sitting and "really" seeing what I am seeing, instead of thinking that I am seeing. It's very unique experience I would like everyone to experience- no ego, no thought- simply aware, simply see, simply bee......;-)
-
The spiritual books and authors that have had the greatest impact on me...
-
No book, no author can have a "great" impact, since everyone must do their own work- meaning you gonna have to sit and meditate yourself- and learn to reflect and seek the truth from your heart, intuition and personal experience.
