According to Buddha
Extend the boundaries of the glowing kingdom of your love, gradually including your family, your neighbours, your community, your country, all countries — all living sentient creatures.

Calgary Zoo, Orphaned Cougars ~ May 2017
love this –
Aren’t they magnificent. A great set of images, Hedy. You did well making it look like there was nothing separating you from them. Have a great week. Cheers!
thank you Chris…it’s quite the glass enclosure…actually a beautiful space…thanks for your comments and yes i will have a good week…hope you’re well too…done teaching? or back at it? smiles hedy 😀
Still teaching. It’s a really busy time right now with teaching and grad school. Just four more months. 😁. Have a great week. Cheers
then you can begin a new chapter Chris…you’ll missed grad school…yes it’s a calm and sunny week so far…doing practical things in the moment 😀 smiles for a joyful day! 😀
Hey, did you make a mistake?
The Buddha really did say something like that. It forms the basis of metta practice.
BTW, in the early 80s some friends of mine entered a cover of What’s new pussycat in a 2JJ Battle of the Bands contest as a joke. My then girlfriend was on backing vocals (“Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh”). The band was called Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Hysterectomy. They won.
yes Neurodrooling according to Paramhansa Yogananda…http://yoganandafortheworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Yogananda-for-the-World-2012-06-12.pdf and remember i’m a sloppy buddhist 😀 that’s a funny story…appreciate you sharing ~ smiles hedy 😀
You are TOO MUCH! Not a song I really want to remember, but it’s funnysilly in this context. Thanks for the terrific juxtaposition.
ahhhhh Tom Jones 😉 😀 and that Buddha 😉 thanks kindly Lynn…have a fun day! smiles 😀
Wowww–those enormous cats look VERY close to you! Cougars and other giant cats are the only wild animals that really scare me a lot. Amazing pics–they look incredibly soft, but this is close enough for me. 😉
i’m afraid/respect them too…yes so soft too but i’m extremely reluctant walking in spaces where they live free…this was a joyful moment…you know how cats play 😀 have a fun day Raven Wolfe 😀
Such beautiful and powerful animals.
i love these cats…although i would never want to meet one on a walk…they are also strong totems…using our power and gentleness…you know that balancing act…have a wonderful day Terry 😀 smiles!
Wonderful images. The expression in last one really makes me smile.
i felt she really looked at me…i have a small camera Lemony so i shot from the hip often…a joyful little play moment captured…hearing the children’s also made me smile 😀
Wonderful photos Hedy. That must have been a fun visit. Sometimes zoos do just the right thing.
Alison
it was a reflective memory moment Alison 😀 and yes we gathered as a family pack 😉 😀 we viewed the critters and the critters viewed us 😀 it was just the right thing in that moment thanks kindly ~ smiles
quite big kittens
indeed Gavin gorgeous critters… 😀 have a fun day! 😀
😂👍🏼 pussycat! Sure! Wonderful captures of how they play. Smiles to you, Markus
it was a joyful moment…always feel a little conflicted about confinement and conservation…so i don’t know…but i felt better about these after reading about these cougars were orphaned…the word orphan and knowing their mother was shot in B.C.’s Powell River area gave me that awe feeling…words and images and context…hope you are having a wonderful time in Vietnam 😀 and tonight Leon will be cheered 😀 😀 😀 …https://www.calgaryzoo.com/keep-it-wild/orphaned-cougars-join-zoo-family
I feel simillar about zooparks… …but in the end of all Markus-thoughts, I feel always an increased value towards the animals.
Yes, cheer Leon!!!😁😁😁
Vietnam-Smiles over the Pond 😁😁😁
yup like me a hedy rant 😉 i’m not at the table so i learn to let go…and the children i watched do learn as you say an increased value of appreciating all beings….yes Leon!!!! I think all of etown is beyond excited…soon we’ll know 😀 enjoy Markus! 😀
Today I saw an image, where the supporters threw their caps on the ice after the 7:1. 😳😁 wow, amazing!!! Three goals by Leon and two assists!!!
yes they call that a hat trick…he is adored here Markus! http://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/leon-draisaitl-hat-trick-caps-donated-to-in-need-oilers-fans
