Not the most interesting day yesterday and must admit that I felt bored for quite a bit of it. Did have a phone call in the evening from a Buddhist though who explained to me why he was stopping practising. Some of the reasons were personal and he may well change his mind in time, but he did bring up a few 'issues' which I sometimes feel we ignore .. to do with the organisational side of things of course ... nothing major but maybe we don't , as 'leaders' always project our thoughts too well and resort to terminology or just regurgitate things we have read. It's important to remember that we want people to practise so that they can change their lives for the better and therefore, society. Surely that is the key point of this practise .... Certainly got my mind whirring about how new people see us and how we casually use terminolgy when we shouldn't ... so my determination from this point on is to be the 'kick ass' buddhist in our area :-)
Actually managed to get out of bed (after watching an episode of Buffy of course) and go to the Mens meeting this morning .... only 3 there which isn't surprising really as it is the Bank Holiday, but worth going to as I managed to to a few thoughts over ... the revolution starts here lol
