The importance of sangha

Sangha is a lot like the mosh pit. Sometimes someone sticks their elbow in your eye. Sometimes they pick you up after your fallen down.

Sometimes there are a bunch of crowd surfers who are just going along with what they’ve seen on MTV. Sometimes you’ll find those who are bombed out of their minds on drink and drugs, while others are straight edge and sober.

We all “walk together / rock together” (lyrics by 7 seconds)

It’s Not The Way We Look
It’s Not Our Stance Our Style Our Hair
Forget Those Stupid Barriers
Take Down That Flag You Wear
Just People Living On
With Different Hearts And Different Minds
If We Live In The Same World
Why Can’t We Stand In The Same Line

If We Can Walk Together
Why Can’t We Rock Together

No I Don’t Care
If Your Into Different Bands
No Cause For Such Hatred
I’m Just A Different Man
Pull Off The Cover I Will Too
And Learn TO Understand
With Music Deep Inside
We’ll Make World Our Unity Plan

If We Can Walk Together
Why Can’t We Rock Together

A Label Is A Label
Definition, Nothing More
And Because Of Labels We Have Placed
We Live In Constant War
Destroy All That Tradition
And Live Before You Die
Lets Rock Together From Now On
And Never Be Denied

    Mosh pit!

    My old teacher was amazed at how Americans wash potatoes. We pick one up, hold it under the water and scrub.

    It Asia, people dump a bunch of potatoes into a pot, fill it with water, and rub the potatoes against each other. Uses less water, takes less effort.

    The main thing is to get the potatoes clean.
