Many self-appointed
masters of manifesting
have scolded me
decrying that my Buddhist practice
must to be impotent
for after all
I do not possess
the outward trappings of wealth
to the degree they do.
I would beg to differ for:
when contrasted with others
who (like me) were born
with fetal alcohol syndrome
I possess a wealth of health,
when contrasted with others
who (like me) were born
with a birth trauma brain damage
I possess a wealth of health,
when contrasted with others
who (like me) endured juvenile onset PTSD
for the worst of possible reasons
I possess the wealth of health,
when contrasted with other monks
I possess a wealth
of Dharma realizations;
I have a loving tantric partner,
I live in a beautiful apartment,
in a friendly neighborhood,
I have several sets of robes,
I have plenty of vegan food,
I have Internet access
and the means to teach
the Buddha’s methods digitally.
In view of all that,
I am rather fortunate.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported
not by monasteries but by students
as such the production of these webinars, and videos, and livestreams,
and podcasts, and blogs, and class materials is supported
by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers
just like you.
