May this candle remind us of the Buddha's enlightenment and the light the Dharma shines to show us the way on our path.

About Me
- They call him James Ure
- A Zen Buddhist who follows in the tradition of Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh but I enjoy teachings from all Buddhist traditions. In addition, I am influenced by Taoism and Secular Humanism. I am also a nature lover and live with Schizo-Affective Disorder. The blog is titled, "The Buddhist Blog" because it was all that I could think of for a name. It does not mean that somehow I think my blog is the definitive blog on Buddhism. It is not. It is one traveler's footprints and nothing more. I am not a Buddhist teacher. This blog is a journal of my humble travels as I try to follow the middle path of Buddhism. Take my hand and walk with me for awhile. I have a university degree in U.S. History with a special emphasis in African history. As well as a minor in World Geography. Contact me: jaymur@gmail.com

Happy Rohatsu, James!
With palms together, Dharmabro,
Uku
Cover your candle
as wind wants to put it out
but don't burn your hand!
Thanks for letting me know.
I tried to leave a comment on your other blog.. but the word verification showed no words.. and thus cannot verify.
Perhaps as a wonderful act of emptiness (if intentional) or no words is better than none.

hey james,
i'm doing a lot of work right now, and i've been using my meditation practice to deal with anxiety, and looking at the light on your blog and thinking about the buddha is very helpful. thanks for that.

Happy Bodhi Day James. The animated picture of candle is really awesome.
I'm glad that you all found the candle comforting and a nice gentle reminder of the Dharma gift.
HI.
i have a question about meditation. i resently bought a chackra bracelet and i was wondering how you meditate with it, is the regular meditarion different from chackra meditation, and how important is it to sing the sounds while you meditate?
and is it diicult to open your third eye?

I'm not sure how to meditate with a chakra bracelet. I know how to use a mala though.
