Monkey Magic

Just a quick report.

I'm on one hell of a downturn these last few weeks. From my high point it's currently around 8 buyins which does bite pretty hard. The frustrating part is a trend where my hand holds up in the smaller pots and every big pot I get snapped off by a 2 or 3 outer. :/

On another front, I've been reading up on Buddhist beliefs and philosophies and finding so much of it resonates with me. The funny thing is, I was introduced to much of this as a child as I sat glued to the TV watching my favourite afternoon series 'Monkey Magic'. Many of the shows centered around Buddhist morals and themes....mixed in of course with some kung fu fighting and cloud surfing. :)




The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self-mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances. - Atisha
