Being a good man

July 7th, 2010 | 261 Comments

A good man is what I inspire to be, may this journey called life be filled with nothing but what I inspire to see. From the muddy lands did I rise up into a lotus flower shining fourth pure clean petals. Rooting out all ignorance and bad habits, reformatting my heart-mind drive. Now I have something to offer, to everyone I


Be the change

July 7th, 2010 | 406 Comments

Be the change you want to see in the world. Don’t keep what you have learned in a box and keep it to yourself. Share it and help others, so they can escape the misery produced by their delusional mind.


The Noble Eightfold Path

The Noble Eightfold Path

Someone said to me today regarding about the Noble Eightfold Path:
“I am a little bit skeptic about any path. They enforce the ego.”

After writing my response to the person, I decided I should post it here too, just in case someone way may feel the same way.

“The ego wants to be in the center of everyone’s life.
When ever a Spiritual Path is followed with determination, the ego becomes threatened, because now it feels like it is losing grip of our life (body and mind).

One who drinks deep the Dhamma lives happily with a tranquil mind – Dhammapada

May 21st, 2010 | 594 Comments

“One who drinks deep the Dhamma lives happily with a tranquil mind.”
A brief explanation of a verse from the Dhammapada from Lord Buddha.


“One who drinks deep the Dhamma lives happily with a tranquil mind.”
The Dhamma means Holy Law, The Truth, the Way, the Ultimate Wisdom, True Nature, or you can call it God. The Dhamma is described here as if it was water. The holy teachings from Sages are fluent as water, clear as water, it satisfy’s the thirst of mankind. In the old testament, Christ, said “if anyone would drink from this water, he will never get thirsty again.”

Its like a cat and a ball of yarn

Thoughts come and go. They appear like a motion picture on the screen of your mind. Are the images real? No. They just seem real. They are like clouds that come and slowly gets blown away by the wind. But you have the power to make the thought go or stay a while and take a seat in your heart. If that thought stays, then you start to feed it energy, which makes it nice and fat. Then the thought decides it doesn’t want to leave, because now the thought says ” I am a part of you now, I am what you feel and believe.” Is it true? No. Better yet, a thought is like a ball of yarn. And you are the cat, sitting there at


Who is perfect?

May 12th, 2010 | 164 Comments

Who is perfect?

Who is perfect? No one is, even if you have discovered your true nature, you will face challenges at times by ego.  It is just like when the Buddha was confronted with mara or when Jesus was tempted by Satan, all people must face their demons once in a while in life.  They do not leave, they remain inside of you. These are your neurosis’s you struggled with in the past and it is still here, dormant, sleeping waiting for the perfect moment to arise. These demons are our addictions or personal issues that like to torment us. So do we mess up at times in life?  Sure we do. But the real question is, what do you do after you messed up? Do you beat yourself up? No.

Never Give Up

May 3rd, 2010 | 198 Comments

The title of this recording is called “Never Give Up.” I talk about a crossroad I came across in my teenage years, when I contemplated on suicide during a horrible depression stage. In this video I am visiting my mothers house, which triggered my memory of this past event, after looking at the window I thought of jumping out of, which is the 5th floor. This memory only reminded me how far I got in life. I am 34 years old now,


Love Others, Like You Love Yourself

April 30th, 2010 | 324 Comments

Recently I read the news about a young homeless man that was killed in Queens NY, that just broke my heart. After being stabbed to death, he fell on the floor and laid there for an hour and thirty minutes. While laying on the floor, people walked by and didn’t care to help him. Whats happening people?? Where is the love?? So I recorded this message in memory of Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax. Please post this on your page to honor this young man, and to spread the message about loving others as you love yourself. If you haven’ saw the news video here it its: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmknOKkaPEI

Faithful Bodhisattva – Pharati Dhamma Danda

March 13th, 2010 | 264 Comments

Faithful Bodhisattva – Pharati Dhamma Danda

This song is a rap song I created. It is more of a personal vow to follow the Pure Path of the Bodhisattva.

Bodhisattva means either “enlightened (bodhi) existence (sattva)” or “enlightenment-being” or, given the variant Sanskrit spelling satva rather than sattva, “heroic-minded one (satva) for enlightenment (bodhi).” Another translation is “Wisdom-Being.” It is the name given to anyone who, motivated by great compassion, has generated bodhicitta, which is a spontaneous wish to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all living beings.

As a follower of the Dhamma of Buddha, I seek to only do what is right and help save all living beings to the best of my capability.

It is our duty to spread the Light that we have receive. This Light lives within us, but it needs to be awaken and then cultivated daily.

Read The Lyrics:


Daily Word: Be, be who you really are.

Daily Word: Be, be who you really are.

Be Love, be Joy, be Peace, be that Pure Being that you really are.
Unplug from what you think you are.
Let go of that false perception about yourself.
You are special, you are a Light Child, you are beautiful.


My Birthday

March 2nd, 2010 | 374 Comments

My Birthday
Dear sisters and brothers, from all across the world who visits this blog, in where we have developed this blessed virtual relationship. I just wanted to express my happiness today, a day that I am very appreciative to experience again and again. It is the day I was conceived, out from my mothers precious womb, into this world. I could just picture the loud cry I must of let out, as my little body was shocked by the cold air. I could just imagine the great overwhelming emotions my mother was experiencing at that moment.

The Birth of My Child

As the day approaches where my wife will give birth soon to my baby boy, my heart is filled with great joy. In my life, I had many ups and downs, close encounters with death several of times, an abusive/loving father (who I love no matter what), addicted to drugs, alcohol and sex, had no self worth, I hated myself, I was full of anxiety and depression, I finally found peace, the Light that ever so shines so bright within my heart, which made me ready to become a father.


Please Pray For Hati

January 13th, 2010 | 154 Comments

As you may already know, yesterday Hati was hit with an 7.0 magnitude earthquake, just 10 miles west of Porte-au-Prince. The major quake sent 33 aftershocks ranging in magnitude from 4.2 to 5.9.

Please, please, put Haiti in your prayers so they can dig out and save the people that are still alive trapped underneath the rumble. Lets all unite in prayer or send out a mantra from the heart to the land of Haiti, so they can recover from this unfortunate natural disaster.

HERE IS A WAY YOU CAN HELP:

https://re.clintonfoundation.org/SSLPage.aspx?pid=3869

Donations here will be quickly and effectively put to use, with very little overhead or administrative costs (about 4%, which is one of the absolute best anywhere). Haiti needs all of us to help, now. Here it is easy to contribute in a way that will send water, food, and medical supplies to where they are needed.

You can also Text “HAITI” to “20222″ and $10 will be given to the Clinton Foundation’s Haiti Relief Fund, charged to your cell phone bill.

NOTE: WRDZ DOESN’T RECEIVE ANY FUNDS, THIS IS AN LEGITIMATE OUTSIDE FOUNDATION CALLED CLINTON FOUNDATION

May peace be upon everyone this world, and the people of Haiti.

Daily Word: If curiosity killed the cat…

If curiosity killed the cat, then ignorance led him to it.
If ignorance led the cat to perform his action,
then his sensations were led by his ignorance.
If his sensations were led by his ignorance,
then delusion is what encouraged his sensations.
If delusion is what encouraged his sensations,
then delusion has dominion over his five senses.
If delusion has dominion over his five senses,
then suffering is his ultimate result.


Daily Word: Its like baby sitting

Its like baby sitting

A baby is born.
The baby starts to grow up and learn new things.
He or she starts to mimic everything he or she sees or hears.
The mother stays home to baby sit.
The mother has some hard times baby sitting but she is getting used to it.
The baby is grabbing things, moving here and moving there, not focused on anything.
The mother gives it a pacifier, cradles the baby, sings to the baby and eventually the baby slows down and starts to relax and fall asleep.


My Love For You

My Love For You

I had to write this after receiving a beautiful and inspiring email from someone that visited this blog.

This writing is from the bottom of my heart to everyone that visits this blog.

I give my life to this cause, the cause of trying to help human beings realize and to cultivate their inner peace.
I have nothing to offer you. I only have some humble words that are born within my heart, and that spills out through my soul like a fountain of freedom. I write without knowing who will read this, without trying to “market” these writings, but allowing for the hungry heart to seek and find it on their own. Once I had a dream and heard a voice that said, “Build a City,” and a city I will try to build, I don’t know how nor am I concern on how it is built, I will just do want I feel in my heart, this feeling that burns like a fire, a love that I have never felt before, which I

Faithful Bodhisattva

Here is a rap I wrote called “Faithful Bodhisattva,” in which as a follower of the Buddha is what we all want to become, is to become a Faithful follower who has cross over the shore of Samsara and to spin the wheel of the Dharma and help save sentient beings as a Faithful Bodhisattva. Before I entered the Noble Eightfold Path, I use to rap for the world, about self centered things which profit nothing to anybody nor myself. Now I have changed my view in life and decided to use my personal talent to help spread the message of the Dharma.

You Can Teach An Old Dog New Tricks, But It Will Cost You!

Daily, I try my best to walk this Pure Beautiful Path. Meditating and reading the Dharma daily. I am starting to see the changes in my life, from being less anxious and more like the controller of a situation. Not allowing anger to shine through when someone does wrong to me, but brushing it away like dirt and then wish peace unto him or her. Is it easy? No, not at all. I am dealing with


Restraint and Emptiness

November 14th, 2009 | 205 Comments

Restraint and Emptiness

Dhammapada – The Just
“The true master lives in truth,
In goodness and restraint,
Nonviolence, moderation and purity.”

Today we are going to focus on the word “restraint.”
Lets see what the dictionary says about this word.
Restrain – keep under control; keep in check; the act of controlling; to close within bounds, limit or hold back from movement.

The true master practices restraint. First lets understand who is the master? The master is you. The master is your true self, the true self is the real you, your Buddha Nature, your Christ Nature, the Likeness of God, Atman, no-self,


Don’t give up

November 10th, 2009 | 240 Comments

Dear readers,
Today I heard some horrible news about someone who works at the company I work. They found her dead in her office today. I didn’t know who she was, I just heard about her. Sources said she was suffering a lot and she was drinking a lot of liquor and taking pills to ease her pain. They are not labeling it a suicide, but apparently the things she was consuming killed her. Her mind has overtaken by her thoughts and eventually it won. Mara has tormented another person and dragged her to an early death.

My heart hurts so much to hear a sad story like this and it brings tears to my eyes. I just wanted to share this story with you, so that I can encourage you, to not give up . Whatever struggle you are facing, I pray that Peace and Love fill your heart at this very moment, if you are facing any suffering. Please do not hurt yourself. Give peace a chance and reach out to a friend or a family member. Do not bottle anything in, seek help. If there is no one you can reach out to, please know that you can choose me to talk to. Send me an email if needed, but just remember please DO NOT GIVE UP you are worth more than any precious thing on this earth! You are precious, you are valuable. Clear your mind in meditation, do not attach to false thoughts in your mind.

I dedicate this song to her and to whoever is facing any suffering right now.

May peace and love be upon you and your family, take care of yourself.
Namaste!
Your internet friend. :)


The Empty House

November 9th, 2009 | 303 Comments

Emptiness is compared to a empty house, that has nothing in it, not even a person living it.

Thoughts are compared to a delivery man that knocks on the door trying to deliver a package, but no one opens the door because no one lives in it.

The delivery man never gives up, he will come again and again hoping that someone opens the door.

When “no self” is present, then that means


What makes you happy?

November 7th, 2009 | 164 Comments

In life we have many things that brings us happiness like, our family, our baby, our job, our spouse, our career, our skills, our “whatever” you what to call it, it brings us happiness. But what if that object is gone? What if it dies? What if it is taken away from us? What if we lose our job, our spouse, our “whatever”? Then that, which made us happy, was impermanent happiness. Some people say, I can’t wait for Friday, or “TGIF!!”, or I can’t wait for my vacation, or I can’t wait to see so and so, because that will make me happy.

All of these things are fine, but if that is the thing that is going to make you happy, then happiness is really not there, its actually dependant happiness. Don’t get me wrong, be happy for these things, because you are human and we get happy and we get sad over things, its natural. But we cannot depend on these things to appear or happen in our lives in order to make us feel content.

True happiness starts

Silent Ear

The Bodhisattva remained composed and paid Mara no heed

One day I went to a Zen Buddhist Temple called Fire Lotus located in Brooklyn NY. The Zen Master instructed the students to naturally come up with an art piece as a Zen practice.  So I created an art piece that is located above, it is called “Silent Ear,” which is based on the story of Siddhartha when he was under the bodhi tree.

As Gautama settled firmly into the cross-legged meditation posture, Mara too realized that the crucial moment had come, and he trembled. He knew that once the Bodhisattva had attained enlightenment, he

Going Back To The Womb
Its about going back to the “state of mind” you once knew

Thoughts are described to be like people walking on the street, passing by you. As these people walk by, they whisper things to you to grab your attention.

Suddenly, you become interested in a person that is passing by you, because you are curious to know what they’re whispering to you. You decide to stop and have a conversation with the person, you engage into a deep conversation. Then you start to learn about the person, exchange a phone number or email address and eventually you create some kind of bond with the person. Suddenly, as days go by, this person starts to call and email you a lot, so much that you find it strange. Suddenly, this person gets so comfortable with you, that he starts to ask you for some money and then you end up giving some money to this person. Then this person decides to slowly move into your house and sleep on your bed. Then this person starts to eat everything you have in your refrigerator. Then this person starts to run up your phone bill, your electricity bill, basically this person becomes a complete nightmare and starts to invade all your space.

Well, that is the same way with thoughts that pass by you. You can stop


Daily Word: True Self

October 24th, 2009 | 237 Comments

Heart to heart is obtained in meditation,
heart to heart with the True Self.
The eyes of the mind is fully opened in deep meditation.
True Self talks, and reveals great truths, only if you open your ears.
Seeking is good,
Wanting is good,
But wanting nothing is much better.
Wanting to find anything that does not pertain to True Self is a waste of time.
Why build castles on earth?
Why build castles in the sky?
