Glutinous rice, Thank you






 Thank you 

_______



With appreciation to all life and everything,
I gratefully receive.
Bon appétit!

The glutinous rice cooked for the first time.
Sorghum, millet and glutinous rice
 being together in harmony.
Sweet peacefulness.

Ah~
There is  
no mind that likes what I am and dislikes what I am not,
no mind that hopes others do the way I like. 
It has all disappeared.

There is no hate, and no greed. 

Filled only with  
transparent, round, 
clear mind.  

The sound of birds 
resonating clearly 
in a small forest deepened.

One grain of rice.
One devoted mind of farmers.
One wisdom of nature.

Thank you.

Ingredients
Glutinous rice
Sorghum
Millet
Water

One line recipe
Washed glutinous rice,sorghum,millet(10:1:1) in a pot & a bit less water than white rice. Fin!

Tips
It becomes a healthy sweet dessert if we mix it with dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil: Rice for two, 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar (or more, as we like), 1/2 tsp sesame oil. 


Eating sorghum, millet with brown rice improves scalp and hair condition. 
Some experts say that it makes hairs grow back. Oh Yes! :-)

Do






It is dazzling.
Leaves are dancing, glittering
in the blue sky light and the wind.

The soft and scented chair
that mum has made.

Let the body loosen up and
breathe comfortably and
quietly calm the mind. 

With a grateful heart.

Listen 
 deeply, 
brightly.

The eyes that stay in one place.

Do.
Over and over again.
Continuously.

Without missing a day.

Do.
Once a day. 

The one thing 
that needs to be accomplished,
    no matter what.

Keep looking after















The sound of rain heard for a few nights.
Acacia trees on a hill already flowering in white.

Flower rings made by mum on my fingers.
The deep sweet scent of acacia embracing me. 
A radiant smile they bring.

It takes away uneasiness. 

 One mind,

one smile
changes everything.

Look,
this world is yours 
at any time.

With hands wide open, run outside.
Share a bright hello.

Keep looking after
the clear and deep self,
the leader of all changes.

Without words.

Gentle











My hand lightly put on my heart.
With eyes slowly closed.
Listen. 

A soft wind blowing.
The trees drawing big and round circles.
The flower seeds lightly flying up drawing curves

Ah, it is like dreaming.
Magic.

Bright, bright sun.
Leisurely flowing water.
One bird of love and hope on the heart.
Loved ones. 

In the warm light,
people, animals, nature are all
one.

Rest 
  together.

The mind
Chagall's slight pencil lines and 
a few delicate, simple colours share.  

Kindness
Gentleness.

New days
start like this.

Now.
Here.


"In our life, there is a single colour...
It is the colour of love."  
Marc Chagall
