Seen in a parking lot: "For sale, $3500 obo. 69,000 miles" Note the broken window panel (duct tape window covering adds extra value?) and the, well, is that a bullet hole?, next to the driver door handle.
Parking Lot Buddha - Noble Truth Number 2: The origin of suffering is attachment. It would seem that the owner of this car has some attachment to it (not to mention a possible misperception concerning value). He must be suffering greatly to have such attachments. Of course, one could argue that attachment is denied by selling the car, but the price-for-condition at least suggests some emotional commitment to the auto. What do you think?
Reflections of the inner light. Discerning a vocation as a lay contemplative Franciscan. Occasionally mendicant. A long time moving down the road of spiritual awareness in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi. Slowly waking, looking around. Writing about the journey. Inspired by Jesus and the Apostles, Francis and Clare, Thich Nhat Hahn, and His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama. Simple reflections of a journey. Welcome, come walk for a bit.
