Lojong: Weeping Buddha

I’ve studied through the slogans a dozen times in my life;
these are my musings on the slogan currently, what comes up on the day that
I am posting the slogan,
not a formal interpretation.
For that reason they are less about straight Buddhist teachings,
and I think able to be shared with most practitioners of other faiths or no faith
(unless yours doesn’t allow you to read any other tradition.)
If you have time and the inclination, I published the WHOLE  thang here!

Sorta taking a break
this weekend.
Practicing but not going online right now.
Instead, I thought you
might like to see
the HUGE and
tiny weeping Buddhas I painted in acrylic
and on handmade paper
and in colored pencil
on black paper because
truth is, I’ve painted
him for years.
