Beingness

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

Hello everyone,
First I want to thank you all for being a part of my life by visiting this blog. It is truly an honor to even have your attention for at least a couple of seconds or minutes in reading my posts.

Lately I have embarked in a new journey into the land of Facebook, and it has been a huge blessing. I am meeting new people from all parts of the world and the message of Oneness and Awareness is being spread through this great networking tool. I highly encourage you to visit facebook and join me so we can further our friendship by making it more interactive, where we can share thoughts with each other. I also post several articles, music, videos, news, daily quotes there as well. I will introduce you to all the new inspiring people I have met and I know they will be a blessing to you as well.

Also, I want to apologize for not posting newer articles or writings frequently as I wish I can. Especially with the new addition in my life, my new born son, it has been a bit of a challenge to juggle many things, but I am getting there. I want to let you know, that I did not forget about you!

So come on down and visit me at my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000430531851 so I can add you into my friends list, so we can know each other more.

I send you peace, love, and encouragement in this beautiful path. Namaste~
Your internet friend!

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.

Acting Without Expecting

Read or listen to this writing:

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.

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

Do not be attached to anything not even your practice.

Daily Word: Spread it

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,

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

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

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?

So what is true success? Many people would say, “its when you have a well paying career,” or “a lot of money,” or “a real big house,” or “fame” etc.. Usually the answer is based on the accumulation of stuff you have gained in your life.

Success brings enjoyment, a sense of accomplishment, success makes you feel good inside.  But unfortunately the things mention above is not true success because it does not give everlasting happiness. Don’t get me wrong, those things above are signs of success in a worldly point of view, but the feeling of success will die out and will make you want to obtain more and more, or newer stuff.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to thank everyone for visiting my blog. I see there are several people from all around world visiting. So I want to thank and send a special hello to everyone in the US: New York, California, Vermont, Texas, Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Colorado, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Missouri, and to ALL out of the country visitors: Canada, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Germany, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Morocco, France, Italy, Croatia, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Egypt, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia, Netherlands, Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Thailand. If I missed you I am sorry, but I think I covered all my visitors.

This actually means a lot to me since, I don’t really have much people around who would think like me or are interested in what I am interested in reading, and to find out there are people out there who have the same interest or believe the same thing, is a a beautiful thing. I never ever traveled that far outside this country, but everyone all around the world are special people. We are brothers and sisters, we are one people, we are to help each other and I look forward to walking with you in this daily life, in practicing the beautiful pure path. This path is not easy, but it is easy, when you let go, and let the current take you far away, beyond.

So again, I personally thank you and I pray that you stay blessed, stay encouraged!

Your internet friend.

Today words of enlightenment to myself and everyone that reads this are “Relax and just be.”
Stop trying hard, stop worrying, stop the stream of thought that baffles your emotions and just be.
You have peace within yourself, you do not need to go and pay for someone to help you meditate or talk to you about how to achieve this peace. Don’t get me wrong, you can go to a place of yoga or meditation, its fine, but don’t rely on it, because you already the have the peace. Its in you. You just have to set a time out and shut off everything around you, the cell phone, the phone, the TV, EVERYTHING and meditate on your own and clear your thoughts, follow your breathing. Quiet your mind, quiet your inner dialog and follow your breathing and let the Spirit of Peace flow within, don’t think about it, just be, be like a leaf, be like a statue, be like a tree, and just be. Remember the green leaf story I shared with you here, be like the green leaf and receive the sunshine, the rain, and receive it without any doubt and thought. Feel the peace, feel the love, you are precious, you were not born for nothing. Just like a mother that wants to give everything to her child, the Universe, The Source, The Absolute, God whatever you want to call it, wants to give it you, receive it right now. Its free, and its available to you. Meditate and absorb the Light like a sponge absorbs water.

May peace and Love be upon you, take care my friend!

Also, if you find this posting helpful, please let me know, post a comment, or send me a message, let me know something, anything. Thank you.

Delusion flaunts itself with words that try to penetrate the mind, but our victory clearly depends on us, on how firm is our grasp on the Infinite Wisdom that has awakened in us, that was embedded inside of us. The answer lays within us. In every trial, let understanding fight for you. Understanding means, the deep knowing, the conviction of the Truth its like you know, that you know, that you know… there is no wavering in you because you are sold with this. To not allow delusion to sway you, you must “stand” on a solid foundation and that solid foundation is your solid understanding of the Wisdom, the Dharma, the Truth. The foundation is “under” you, its what your feet stands on. Learn it, study it, understand it, know it. It is more than meditating, its more than praying. The Infinite Wisdom is the Truth that points to your True Self, its a mirror. Delusion is the lies, the false thoughts that tries to sway you. Delusion likes to put you to sleep so that it can come and pierce your life with defilement which results into suffering. Be strong, stay encouraged!

Lets Talk About 9-11

This is a very sad time our nation is facing today, due to the attacks we encountered and had to suffer on September 11th 2001.  I remember the pale and frighten faces of people when I was taking the train on my way to school in Manhattan the next day. Everybody was courtesy with one another, people were trying their best to be kind to one another.  It was a moment of crisis, that drew people closer, reminding them, that everything has its beginning and end, that death is real and we will all have to face it one day.  

As a people we do not have to wait for a tragic event to happen in order to be reconnect to reality, and care for the human race.  We are all precious in Gods eyes, and it should be precious in our eyes. 

Personal Experience
I remember in 1999, when I was 23 years old, me and my older brother were in my fathers station wagon, and we were
