is it easy????

is it easy
to have kept
this BWG sangha going
for seven years come next month.

it is
and it is not.

it is
because of all the help and support of the members
particularly Doret.
it is
because
it is done by non-self
for no-body
and has been done
this way
with non-doing.
it is
because it is not done for the benfit of Self
but for all beings.
it is
because
it is part of the practice.
it is because of
all the love and compassion
from so many members
that have shown
they care
and they love BWG
in the right way.

it is not
because
BWG has to kept clean
without blemish
all the time.

it is not
because
from time to time
an ill wind might blow.

it is not
because
Buddhism as a rule has a lot of
proud and stubborn people
in it
and their challenge
has to met and dealth with
appropriately.

it is not
because
we are still all
on the Path
and have not quite reached the other shore yet
but some seem to think
one foot of them
is already on the other shore.

while we are still on the Path
we still are stucjk with duality
and thue
it is easy
and it is not easy.

Happy Seventh Birthday
to BWG next month.
Thanks to all.
YOUhave made this
possible.
