About Me |
|
| "Everything and Nothing" I dont believe in Religions. I believe in YOU! I believe in me. That is my Religion. -Rev.Yao Feng Shakya "Floating freely through the vast sky. I am the sky, the cloud, the light, the love and everything in existence. This you and I do not differ either. We are the world." -Rev.Yao Feng Shakya "You can search the entire universe for someone more deserving of your love than you are yourself, but that person cannot be found anywhere. You, yourself, more than anybody in the universe, deserve your own love." -Buddha Rev.Yao Feng Shakya also known as the sadmonk. Ordained Zen Buddhist Priest in the Zen Buddhist order of Hsu Yun. If you would like to contact me, please feel free. "If not for your friendship, love and light. I would not be alive. I am only alive through others love and light." Please feel free to contact me. Buddhist precepts and refuge are given free of charge. No dues, no fees. Just big love and a big heart is all that is required. namo amituofo all my love and light! Rev. Yao Great GrandMaster Hsu Yun "Empty Cloud". deeply bowing. namo amituofo My Dear Venerable Master Fo Yuan. He is Buddha. We are all Buddhas;) Thank you to Arjunadeva for making this video of my paintings. Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it. -Buddha Namo Amituofo My house is buried in the deepest recess of the forest Every year, ivy vines grow longer than the year before. Undisturbed by the affairs of the world I live at ease, Woodmen’s singing rarely reaching me through the trees. While the sun stays in the sky, I mend my torn clothes And facing the moon, I read holy texts aloud to myself. Let me drop a word of advice for believers of my faith. To enjoy life’s immensity, you do not need many things. - Ryokan |

My Interests |

I missed you And in missing you I understood that one Can never be missed. I love you And in loving you I understood that Love is inside us all along. Something that comes from within us. Ever present, Never leaving. So in loving you I learned to love everyone. Not some, but all. I love you. I love all. -Rev. Yao The Buddha's way. To refrain from doing any manner of evil, To respectfully perform all varieties of good, To carry out the purification of one's own mind. This is what constitutes the teaching of all Buddhas. namo kuan shr yin pusa Paintings by Rev.Yao Feng Shakya aka-The Sadmonk. "When I think about the sadness of the people in this world, their sadness becomes mine. ... O that my priest's robe were wide enough to gather up all the suffering people in this floating world." -Ryokan "Your mind is nirvana. Your nature is the Buddha." sunyata What worries have I? I forgot all things That have something to do with nothing Nothing to do with something Who Cares? No More Why No Problems No Worries No Anxiety No Panic No Stress No Anger.. No Fear No Death No This No That No need to worry, NO Knot No Knowledge No Nothing What worries have I? -Rev.Yao Feng Shakya |

I'd like to meet:!!!!!!!!Everyone!!!!!!!!No one saves us But ourselves, No one can, and no one may. We ourselves must Walk the Path. *Buddha All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What We think,We Become. *Buddha I don't carry a gentleman's lute Or own a longevity crane.I'm as undistinguished as smoke And casual as sunset clouds.Scattered and low. Scattered and low.Sometimes I roam along Bilu Peak Or lounge around Maitreya's Court.Who needs seven hundred lifetimes? Who needs to be the houseguest of an Immortal?You can measure what's empty or catch hold of the wind; But the hardships of an ascetic monk are beyond reckoning.You can move an entire mountain or shrink a great distance; But nobody can plumb the depths of spiritual emptiness.In the space of just a single thought A thousand years can be speeded up or stopped.But the distance light travels in those thousand years Wouldn't reach the limits of a monk's travails.I could have been a deckhand And traveled all the seas; Or else a simple laborer, A porter with a pole.What if I had been born noble and wealthy? Shakya was; but he rejected that And so would I. Ah. Ah.So I don't carry a gentleman's lute Or walk around with longevity cranes.I just go, scattered and low, scattered and low. As obscure as smoke and casual as those sunset clouds. by Ven.Chan Master Hsu Yun (empty cloud) We are all flowers. When the butterfly lands We let it. When the butterfly departs We let it. We are a flower. -Rev.Yao Feng Shakya (sadmonk) This is our true nature. To love and be love. There is no greater calling in life Then to love all that exists in this beautiful world. Un-conditionally. -rev.yao "In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you love? How deeply did you learn to let go?" -Buddha I have 2837 friends |
