And ninth...
I look forward to the day you and I call each other friends, in the true sense. I cannot be exactly as I appear to you and vice verse. Our interactions to forums are limiting in knowing all about each other. Regardless, I have appreciated things you've said and I know its the same for you...
my avatar...I saw this yesterday when I was going through my files and had a good laugh. I remembered when you said you woke up in the morning looking like this. I laughed for a good while after I read that that day, and so was the case for yesterday and I decided to make it my new avatar. Maitreya Buddha, the one of the future age (of the Buddhas of the three ages) is the laughing Buddha. In laughter, the truly joyous kind (selfless happiness), we realize enlightement, non-duality.
