A scroll that hangs in my office

[oibeachbum]

My friend, Mary Lou, gave me a scroll last year from Lily Dale Assembly - she watched the Tibetan Monks and was incredibly inspired - but I digress. Here is what it says:

Looking Within

The very purpose of religion
Is to control yourself
Not to crisicize others
Rather, we must criticize
Ourselves. How much am
I doing about my anger?
About my attachment,
About my hatred, about my pride,
My jealousy?
There are the things which
We must check in daily life.

Taking your own body and
Mind as the laboratory,
engage in some thorough going
research on your own
Mental Functioning,
And examine the possibility of
Making some positive changes
Within yourself.

H.H. The XIV TH Dalia Lama

Call when you can. I love you. Bunny
