Hi its your friendly blogger here, I just wanted to chat in general. It don’t relate to autism. But this blog is about me after all, as you know I am Buddhist, And have been over 14 years. I was taught by a Thai Monk {online} 4 years ago. But I had other teachings from other Buddhist. Moving on in 34 years I am actually at peace with myself, and this feeling is out of this world. The affirmation also its exhilarating. I don’t want to sound like a pre age hipster. Because for me that is not what Buddhism is about for me, anyway. I just wanted to share this because Buddhism has changed my life in many ways. As well as me wanting you avid readers to read my blog and learn and see my life though autism/adhd. There is this part of me too. The Buddhism that I teach I do classes on it too, but I don’t talk in my Buddhism about Buddhism. I talk about you {them). About growth , affirmation. how to structure ones life in the Buddhist world. For instances , I am not materialistic. I have a 2nd hand Samsung phone which I have had for 3 years. I treat myself if and when, not a need. but also down to trauma PTSD. I don’t like things brought for me. I don’t mind if its gifted. For special occasions etc, same as the laptop I am typing on, Had it 6 years. Also Buddhas live with 4 things only. and pray a lot throughout the day. They live a simple life. Like me I am happy with the roof over my head , I am fed and watered. I am warm. My cats are my world and company. And yes I would do anything for them. Also I have my small circle of friends. I don’t need a big group of people. Just small is good enough for me.
The Abundance and the gratitude I have and being at peace and happy with myself {not 100%} but I am better than I was many years ago. Its like a forever glow and it keeps on lighting up. I don’t have time for the negative people or people that bring that vibe or that negative. For me being Buddhist is about who i am and it gives me structure to my life in all manners of speaking, I chant to buddha. I surround myself with mother nature and nature its the best feeling ever.
I don’t have all the answers and I don’t have a magic wand to wave and say hey do this or become a Buddhist , Because we are all built different. Its a you do you. Yes people come to me for Advice. You are the architect of your Journey and future. You have to build your own bricks and mortar and make it yours. I believe from my own experience. You have to go though the worse of it , to come out the otherside. I do think the universe is in aligning with you. And its the good karma / bad karma effect. Meaning that being on that bad path was the universe leading you to the good path. Life does Test you. And life is not smooth. The Buddhist use the cause and effect thesis. Finding the cause before the effect can take place. Causes travel once the Cause is in motion , the effect will take place. how you react to that cause, than will the effect come into play, laments terms. If someone was a keyboard warrior. or someone was nasty to you. You can either by cause and react and play at there level by that reaction. than will thus effect take place. Taking on the travel of motion of the effect , ie your day has gone bad. Or ignoring said person. you don’t react in the way they want you too, Thus there is no cause or effect and you will not have a shite day. I learnt that from my Thai Monk. I don’t react to things these days. I take it with a pinch of salt. I’m not one to lower myself to others levels. Social media is a very toxic place and some with very toxic people. Yes i engage with things due to interest. But I tend to overlook the Ablest stuff Sia for one. I said my shit on that a long time ago, Moving on, I have blocked people muted people . Made my Instagram private. I really don’t want to waste my oxygen on the wrong people.
I will end this with something Buddhist and Beautiful
BE A SEED , PLANT YOUR SEEDS AND WATCH YOURSELF GROW
Namaste 🙏📿☸
