Buddhist Determinations

As a Buddhist, each new year, we make new 'determinations' for the year ahead. These are kind of similar in some ways to resolutions but are intended to be supported by our buddhist practise.

I have had quite a few in my head but maybe it's age as I keep forgetting them, so I'm going to list them below ... will be interesting to see how many I achieve !!

In no particular order:

1) To never miss morning or evening gongyo even if it's only a short one( ie the buddhist practise)

2) To read all 12 volumes of 'the human revolution' by the end of the year (currently on vol 2)

3) To look after my health, remembering that I'm no longer 20 (or even 30 or 40 !) and get my BP down

4) To earn more money and to double my biggest KR contribution next time

5) To have 10 new men or older young men practising in our chapter by the end of the year

6) To go and chant with one man in our chapter per week

7) To be in a relationship by May 3rd 2009
