I slept. We have two more appointments this week and I cannot not sleep while being on tour. I still need to stay at one place and practice hard.
For some reason we entered the storeroom today, just to quick get something out. we ended up arranging things, sorting out, this to give away, that to keep.
I gave to publik use a lot of things I owned except robes, bowl, a little buddhastatue, a mala, a small bell, a monks bag, phone, toiletries, 2 ballpen, a book, usb-stick, passport, mae chii card, some documents and I confess pictures of dana-the-worlds-best-dog. everything fits into the monks bag.
of course I can use the ex-my-things if I need to, with the same right as nadya and lumpoh.
Laa brought, from the donation jens left, a treatment for the pregnant templedogs skindesease. Hope it helps.
the other day a women brought us potatoes. Thais don't like them very much. We gave them laa together with some recepies. Today he came to present us his first selfmade french frieds.

path to truth - diary of a Buddhist nun
The Buddha said:
So hard to see, so very, very subtle, alighting wherever it likes: the mind. The wise should guard it. The mind protected brings ease.

Karania Metta Sutta
This is what should be done By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech, Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied, Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm and wise and skillful, Not proud or demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in safety, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born — May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings; Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.
