Story of my life contd

I met this girl named Mona Lisa on xanga about three years ago. She goes to USF, she's half chinese/half indian, she's beautiful. But what have I done about it? Nada. Because I don't want to get rejected? That's one of the reasons. Another reason is because my best friend likes her too, and he doesn't know. Course, she doesn't know either.

Story of my life

Doh

I've created this new blog, and now I've been stricken with a case of brain block.

Just something for the night

Duality

Something of a start

I started this new blog for one reason, too many people were reading my xanga page. I started Xanga in 2003 in order to provide a record of events as they happened in my life, along which, I included certain insights and rants. But then I felt like I was limited in what I can post, limited by my audience on Xanga because I wanted to write about them. I know I can easily set each post to private or protected, but I'm a lazy bum. Throughout the years, Xanga have slowly grown to merely a collection of day to day events or NY Times articles that caught my eye. This blog is going back to my original intent, as a database for creativity.

So, let's get this started

Introduction

In Buddhism, there is a concept of the six realms of existence, or simply the six realms. The six realms represent the six state of mind that a person may transcend during his life.

1. The world of heaven. This is the world of enjoyment, pleasure or pleasant things. The condition of heaven is impermanent, and this state of mind will also change.
2. The world of humans. (Human beings) In the world of humans, sometimes we are happy, sometimes we are sad, sometimes we are laughing, sometimes we are crying.
3. The world of asuras. This is the world of fighting, or strife. The realm or state of mind of fighting.
4. The world of hungry spirits. This is the realm of dissatisfaction, not being content. The state of having endless unsatisfied desires, or greed. Figuratively speaking, always being hungry.
5. The world of animals. It is the realm lacking reason. The state without reason. Without reason, mistakes are made, causing hardships or suffering to self, and at times others. Without reason, being dominated by one's desires.
6. The world of hell. Hell refers to the realm of suffering. The state of suffering and pain, which through cause and condition people will enter.
