Wisdom In Progress

A good saying from Ajahn Brahm's talk today:

When it's hot, keep a cool head;
When it's cold, keep a warm heart.

At our hangout after the talk, we had some pretty enlightening discussion too. Started with a sort-of gossip about the organizers being "angry" at some issue, then SM questioned this anger because we were supposed to be a Buddhist community (who advocates non-anger). Deir said, that was Ren (human's) way, not Fo (Buddha's) way. Then Mal said, we shouldn't judge a religion by how the people behave, but instead, by how we ourselves behave -- does practising it make you a happier person? A better person?

Aside of that, I'm having a few personal revelations too. Maybe there really is time for everything, I've known all these all along but it was only now that I can connect them with what's happening inside me.
