According to Buddha
That things change is the reason why you suffer in this world and become discouraged. [But] when you change your understanding and your way of living, then you can completely enjoy your life in each moment. The evanescence of things is the reason you enjoy your life.

i went broke believing

Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, along Highway 16 ~ Alberta ~ August 2015.
According to Buddha
Through daily practice and attending fellowship, the lifestyle will take care of itself. When we engage in daily practice of the nembutsu as a ‘living’ practice, and not just an intellectual exercise, naturally, our lives will be transformed into the substance of shinjin, the experience of awakening.
every chance we got
we were down by the river all night long
when the sun came up i was sneakin’ her home
and draggin’ my butt to work
with the smell of her perfume on my shirt
i’d be on the tractor she’d be on my mind
with that sun beatin’ down on this back of mine
just when I thought it couldn’t get no hotter
i fell in love with the farmer’s daughter
we got married last spring
whoa and there ain’t no better life for me
