The Sunrise Ruby
In the early morning hour, just before dawn, lover and beloved wake and take a drink of water.

She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more? Really, tell me the absolute truth."

He says, "There is nothing left of me. I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight."

This is how Hallaj said, I am God, and told the truth!

The ruby and the sunrise are one. Be courageous and discipline yourself.

Completely become hearing and ear, and wear this sun-ruby as an earring.

Work, Keep digging your well. Don't think about getting off from work. Water is there somewhere.

Submit to a daily practice. Your loyalty to that is a ring on the door.

Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there. -Rumi

However innumerable sentient beings are, I vow to save them. However inexhastible the defilements are, i vow to extinguish them. However immesurable the dharmas are, I vow to master them. However incomparable enlightenment is, i vow to attain it. -Bodhistattva Vows

Everything is laid out for you. Your path is straight ahead of you. Sometimes it's invisible, but it's there. You may not know where it's going But you have to follow the path. It's the path of the Creator. It's the only path there is. -Chief Leon Shenandoah

RSP (Regular Sensible Practice)

It is better to practise for short periods every day

You will achieve much more practising 20 minutes each day than say, 2 hours once a week.

Sensible Practice - Playing a piece over and over - inclooding the mistaks will only mak yuo werse Pleying a peice over and uver - incootling tha milktakes wall inly mik yoo wersse blayins o piise ozer und ivor - uncloadink tho meestoakes wult inely mok ouy verst

Take the piece apart. Work on the difficult parts. When you can play them - put it all back together again and play the whole thing.

Practice Is Cumulative -- The more you practise, the better you will become. The better you become, the more you will enjoy playing. The more you enjoy playing, the more you will practise. And the more you practise, the better you will become. The better you become, the more you will enjoy playing. The more you enjoy playing, the more you will practise. And the more you practise.......... </pre page needs to be reformated
