"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." Buddha
Wasted Worries
Dream
Rev. Heng Sure is almost done with his Dharma Lecture at an Asian community center. I head for my car which is parked next to his. As I approached my car, I noticed, all of a sudden his car without any driver or ignition started, moved reverse in full pedal speed backing into heavy 2 way traffic as if it was rigged to self destruction, suicide mode. I bolted after the Subaru as if I could stop the car and protect it with my bare fragile human fingers. Collision appeared to be inevitable. Cars hit his car and was turned into a scrunched up ball, completely totaled. They hit the force field that was protecting the car. Or was it Irabana-san’s force field that protected the car from any damage, wow, very strong protection!
Has it always been like this I wondered? Did I just not have faith or just lacked understanding? How I have wasted so much energy worrying so much all these years. It really is going to be okay. All of it!
