But I’m jumping ahead of myself. Here’s the thing. I am recently divorced after being married for 20 years. The last five of those 20 years were sex free. That’s right: no sex. Needless to say, I’ve been horny for awhile. So, the other night, I went to a club to try to meet some women. Well, things have changed since the 80s because the woman I met came back to my apartment with one thing on her mind! That was fine with me because ... (read more) Author: Bill Stevens

As I wrote in "Leadership Wisdom from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari": "the greatest privilege of leadership is the chance to elevate lives."

14. Looking For the Only Happiness May 20, 2008 When a Buddhist monk or nun ordains, they give away everything. They give away their relationships, their families, their business career or job, house, car, clothes – everything. They trade it all for three simple robes and a begging bowl, and perhaps a chance to see the "Dhamma" -- a catalyst for personal transformation. Then they even give away any understanding that they might attain, by not being attached or proud of it, but by teaching others how to understand for themselves. And within all of this giving away, a Buddhist monk or nun discovers the only true happiness -- letting... (read more) Author: e. Raymond Rock

18. Tomorrow's Tamari Takes Time April 02, 2008 Since the Buddhist monk Kakushin brought back the original soy sauce from China in 1254, soy sauce has become virtually ubiquitous world wide. So what is the difference between Soy Sauce, Shoyu and Tamari? Generally speaking, when people refer to soy sauce, they are referring to the light, fruity, salty taste of shoyu. Shoyu is made from a mash of soybeans and wheat.

19. Measuring Each Other March 29, 2008 One of the first things a new Buddhist monk is told by older, more experienced monks is to stop "measuring." No matter how much the new monk thinks that he knows, it will not help him now. It will only prove a hindrance to his meditation and spiritual development. The new monk can either accept this advice or hold to his views and opinions, and continue measuring. It is always up to him. If the new monk is stubborn and self-opinionated, he will continue to measure. Then, perhaps years later, he may understand that only when he lets go of all his measuring does spiritual progress t...

21. Why Christians Practice Buddhism March 20, 2008 Thomas Merton, famous Catholic monk belonging to the cloistered Trappist tradition (Order of Cistercians of the strict observance), once said that he wanted, "to become as good a Buddhist as I can." Before he converted to Catholicism at age twenty-three, he read about Christian mysticism.

After ordaining as a monk, Merton was interested only in Catholicism ... (read more) Author: e. Raymond Rock

Dying peacefully (From a talk by Ajahn Jagaro, the abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat when Janet and I trained in Thailand as a Buddhist monk and nun in 1981) "Having considered all of this, if dying becomes no longer a contemplation but an actual experience, we can face it without fear. Not only can we face it without fear, we can also do a lot towards dying a good death. If we have led a good life, dying is easier.

(From a talk by Ajahn Jagaro, the abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat when Janet and I trained in Thailand as a Buddhist monk and nun in 1981) "Now this (contemplating death) really does free us up, enabling us to live our lives more fully. The contemplation of death, rather than making us depressed and morbid, can actually help us live our lives more fully, with more joy, with more gratitude and appreciation. If we live our lives as though we were going to live forever, we don't appreciate them. We take them for granted and live in a very foolish and heedless way. We all... (read more) Author: e.

When We're Not in the Moment March 09, 2008 I was lying on the floor of my little hut in Thailand suffering from one of the many tropical fevers to which I seemed to succumb, and I saw, for the first time in my life, that nothing truly mattered. I found myself directly in the moment. Given the fact that as a Buddhist forest monk I was not under any worldly responsibilities or obligations at the time, and was of no particular use to anyone, or beholden to anyone, and that there was nothing important that I was doing so that anyone would miss me; I had nothing to lose except my life. What was interesting, however, was that my life,... (read more) Author: e. Raymond Rock
