of doubt or delusion

Once Buddha went to the house of a rich Brahmin with bowl in hand. The Brahmin became very angry and said, "O Bhikshu, why do you lead an idle life of wandering and begging ? Is this not disgraceful ? You have a well-built body. You can work. I plough and sow. I work in the fields and I earn my bread at the sweat of my brow. I lead a laborious life. It would be better if you also plough and sow and then you will have plenty of food to eat".

Buddha replied, "O Brahmin! I also plough and sow, and having ploughed and sown, I eat". The Brahmin said, "You say you are an agriculturist. I do not see any sign of it. Where are your plough, bullocks and seeds ?". Then Buddha replied, "O Brahmin! Just hear my words with attention. I sow the seed of faith. The good actions that I perform are the rain that waters the seeds. Viveka and Vairagya are parts of my plough. Righteousness is the handle.

Meditation is the goad. Sama and Dama - tranquillity of the mind and restraint of the Indriyas (senses) - are the bullocks. Thus I plough the soil of the mind and remove the weeds of doubt, delusion, fear, birth and death. The harvest that comes in is the immortal fruit of Nirvana. All sorrows terminate by this sort of ploughing and harvesting".

The rich arrogant Brahmin came to his senses. His eyes were opened. He prostrated at the feet of Buddha and became his lay adherent.

TIME: then, now and tomorrow- PRECIOUS moments

Know ye, O man,

that all that exists

has being only because of the Law.

Know ye the Law and ye shall be free,

never be bound by the fetters of night.

Far, through strange spaces, have I journeyed

into the depth of the abyss of time,

learning strange and yet stranger mysteries,

until in the end all was revealed.

Know ye that mystery is only mystery

when it is knowledge unknown to man.

When you have plumbed the heart

of all mystery,

knowledge and wisdom

will surely be thine.

Seek ye and learn that

Time is the secret

whereby ye may be free of this space.

Djeheuty: deity of knowlege

Oath of DJEHEUTY

According to the ancient Calendar of KMT & TA-KASH (ancient Egypt & KUSH) the 13th of December is celebrated as the day when the deity of learning: DJEHEUTY made a sacred oath . It is the Season of PERET (spring) the month of TYBI, ruled by the NETER: MIN the year of 6245.

Djeheuti as a baboon

Betray not my secrets

to the men of the North

or the men of the South

lest my curse fall upon ye.

Remember and heed my words,

for surely will I return again

and require of thee

that which ye guard.Aye,

even from beyond time and

from beyond death will I return,

rewarding or punishing

as ye have requited your truest.

Great were my people

in the ancient days,

great beyond the conception

of the little people now around me;

knowing the wisdom of old,

seeking far within the heart of infinity

knowledge that belonged to Earth's youth.

Wise were we

with the wisdom of

the Children of Light

who dwelt among us.Strong

were we with the power

drawn from the eternal fire.
