In honor of Vesak Day, which is the day of Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and death, I wanted to share “Aum Mani Padme Hum”.

Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha.

It is said that you should not seek for Buddhahood outside of yourself; the substances for the achievement of Buddhahood are within.

As Maitreya says in his Sublime Continuum of the Great Vehicle (Uttaratantra), all beings naturally have the Buddha nature in their own continuum. We have within us the seed of purity, the essence of a One Gone Thus (Tathagatagarbha), that is to be transformed and fully developed into Buddhahood.

Vesak Day or Buddha Day/ Full Moon Day

Today is the most important Buddhist holiday. This provides an opportunity for Buddhists to gain their own enlightenment.
It is believed to be an auspicious day, the good deeds of this day return by more merits in the future, the unwholesome deeds of this day may return as well. It is also conceded that Buddha makes an appearance in a secluded valley in the Himalayas for a brief time at the full moon of Vesak.
It is considered that Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and death all these three events occurred on the same very day, so it is the most valuable religious day in Buddhism.
In older traditions of Vesak, all these three events are celebrated simultaneously, but in some most recent Buddhist Groups, only the birth and by some others only the enlightenment is celebrated on Vesak Day.
Vesak is purely a Buddha Day and is not connected with the Vaisakhi or Baisakhi which is a festival in Sikhism.
Buddhists celebrate the day by cleaning and decorating their homes. They carry flowers, candles, incense sticks, and food to the monks.
On this day they eat vegetation food, help the poor and don’t kill insects or animals. They celebrate it by chanting, praying, making offerings, and by hanging Lanterns (a representation of Buddha’s enlightenment).
A bodhi tree found in temples or monasteries is decorated with flags, lamps, and lanterns for Vesak.
In Buddhist countries painted leaves of bodhi trees with Buddha pictures are gifted to one another.
They pour water on the statue of Buddha to purify their inner evils.

Punk Egyptian Kitty

Cats were praised for killing venomous snakes and protecting the Pharaoh since at least the First Dynasty of Egypt. Skeletal remains of cats were found among funerary goods dating to the 12th Dynasty. The protective function of cats is indicated in the Book of the Dead, where a cat represents Ra and the benefits of the sun for life on Earth. Cat-shaped decorations used during the New Kingdom of Egypt indicate that the cat cult became more popular in daily life.

Memorial Day Weekend is approaching and we thought a little background for discussion was imperative. Also, get some USA swag to show some patriotism.

Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars, including World War II, The Vietnam War, The Korean War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

For decades, Memorial Day continued to be observed on May 30, the date Logan had selected for the first Decoration Day. But in 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which established Memorial Day as the last Monday in May in order to create a three-day weekend for federal employees; the change went into effect in 1971. The same law also declared Memorial Day a federal holiday.

Proud to be American? Where at least you know you're free? And you won't forget the men who died. Who gave that right to thee? Stand up. And defend her by repping the coolest US styles you can get.
