		<description>While reading your posts, I always sense myself like the grateful disciple and accept the precious gift of silence which always talk so eloquently at our right approach (the willingness to listen)
I enjoy your blog as an inexhaustible  spring of the healing wisdom. 
So while reading your article I have grasped what my last post http://artbytomas.blogspot.com/2010/02/peace-and-love.html lack for. That&#039;s the laugh. 
It would be fine if I could echo the master with my &quot;I too have learned to laugh&quot; yet I&#039;m still to learn that enlightenment. 
Thank you for the help to grasp the above.</description>

		<title>Comment on Tetsugen&#8217;s Sutras by Laneth Sffarlenn</title>

		<description>I really enjoyed this story - the humility of Tetsugen and his complete compassion for his people speaks of a true dedication to his cause.

His pursuit of his dream led him to ultimate fulfilment, in that the Buddhist sutras teach of humility, compassion, giving of oneself and holding not for oneself that which others rightly deserve or require - his twice-sacrifice of time and funds to the more desperate need of his people shows his true calling and character.

The fact that he got it all done by the time he died was a magickal gift the universe saw fit to grant him after his life of servitude and grace.

Thanks for sharing this with us - you&#039;ve got a subscriber out of me :)</description>

		<description>Wow, very insightful. I especially found &quot;The moral man does something,
and when no one responds he rolls up his sleeves and uses force&quot; to be spot on. :-)

I LOVE the new design, BTW. Fantastic!</description>
