A Little Buddha In All Of Us!

Buddha says that there are four noble truths.

1. The world is full of suffering this is called the ¨Truth of Suffering¨

2. He says the cause of suffering is undoubtedly found in the thirst of the physical body and it´s desires. This is called ¨The Truth of the cause of Suffering.¨

3. He says If desire can be removed then all human suffering will end. This is called ¨The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering.¨

4. He says In order to enter the state where there is no desire and no suffering, one must follow a certain Path. The stages of this Noble Eightfold Path are:

Questons we can ask ourselves:

Right View (I love my view for in it I see you, What is your View?)

Right Thought (I love my thoughts of love and commassion, What are your Thoughts?)

Right Speech (I hold tight to my speech, What is your Speech?)

Right Behavior (I strive to behave correctly, What is your Behavior?)

Right Livelihood (I do not make much money but I love my Livelihood, What is your Livelihood?)

Right Effort (I place my effort where I know it will help others, Where is your Effort?)

Right Mindfulness (I try to think good thoughts always, Where is your Mindfulness?)

Right Concentration ( I try to spend time in meditation and concentration, What is your Concentration?)

When we understand that these things matter and seek to do what is RIGHT we become one of the ¨People Who Have Acquired the Eyes Of Enlightenment¨

I look at my world through these eyes and I like what I see, I like who I see and I like where I see I am going where I have been and most of all where I am NOW!

On the surface theses truths may seem so difficult to attain yet when we look deep into their meaning we see the simplicity in the message BE RIGHT with yourself and then share that with others. For in all ages, a saint (I consider you all saints) if he-she is a true saint, is one who understands it and teaches it to others.

God Bless the Buddha in all of you and may the right path find it´s way to your doorstep and may your light lead other to that path.

About Ziggy

Ziggy and Dusty! One of my favorite movies, the Blues Brothers has a line in it, ¨We Are On A Mission From God¨ and what a glorious mission it is. From the day we are born to the day we die, we live each life time moment to moment. It is said that on the day we pass from this lifetime we get to reflect back over each of those moments we have lived in a life's review. What will your life's review be? I hope mine will be one of happiness, smiles and contentment for the love, compassion and kindness I have shared with other Beings on this planet, I hope I will see a life of service and feel the warm tender vibrations of those I have touched, helped and healed. I hope I will see lessons learned and lessons taught in equal portions. I hope I look back on the Earth from above and see a small and very colorful footprint and know the path I walked was a green one. Green is not only the color of your environmental footprint but also the color of your hearts footprint. It is the color we tend to spend many lifetimes living in because it feels so good to love and be loved. I am my fathers son and my sons father. I have been blessed to have both of them as a part on my soul circle. Life time after life time we have stayed connected, passing energy, wisdom, love and guidance to each other. Recognizing this connection has helped me let go of the ones I love and open my heart to those I did not. It has helped me understand one very basic lesson in life. We are all on this ¨Mission From God¨ together and together we will rise or together we will fall, it is up to us. Lets pull each other up, lets lift each others spirits and lets HEAL together. Ziggy birth announcement and his obituary: Ziggy was born into this lifetime in the color of the throat Chakra, turquoise. His father said he came into this world with a voice for all those that could not find theirs. From a very early age he became a rebel with a cause. As a teen he grew his hair, grabbed his guitar and joined the protest movement of Vietnam. He didn't´t go to Woodstock but he knew most of the songs played there and had a gift of creating inspirational music on the fly that would later earn him to his indigenous name, ¨He who pulls songs from the sky.¨ At an early age he picked up the pen and wrote. From his first assignment as a columnist for his high school paper, changing THE ESTABLISHMENT quickly became his life's work and his signature. He held his fathers creed closely: ¨If you do not love the one your with, do her a favor and leave her. If you do not like your job, do your fellow workers a favor and leave it. If you do not like your country do us all a favor and leave.¨ He found someone he loved and stayed with her for 20 years, he found a boss he liked working with, himself and shaved the boss almost every day of his life. When he did not like the direction his country was heading, he left it and found a new one. When he first moved there with his family the Ukraine had just become the new America. There he again found freedom of speech, religion and a passion for life. He earned the nickname ¨The Cowboy¨ and discovered what it would have been like to live in the wild west. His first novel ¨Come Under My Roof¨ was reflection of his families life in the wild east. Several years later his son connected him with Costa Rica and there he reconnected to himself. His first Reiki session reintroduced him to the world of energy healing, the world of energy healing put him back on his ¨Mission From God¨ H.E.A.L. (Healing Earth And Life) Following the energy he moved to south America and there he said ¨God lead him¨ to the land of his ancestors, the Mapuche. Here he wrote his second book H.E.A.L., became a old school Reiki Master, discovered his Shaman, entered the road to the medicine Buddha and received the name Nuela Chogyal, explored the colors of his Chakras and learned how to use them all to heal others and the planet he loved. Throughout his life Ziggy used the tool shed called humanity and he always left it organized, clean, supported, feed, serenaded, happy and healthy. He is survived by this very same humanity and it is better for his coming. A marker holds his place in this lifetime and it reads: I Love you all and will do what ever I can to help! ¨I am an Earth Healer a Religion of One in a church of many. This is my Creed, my Intent. Live love and prosper. Touch Everything Attach to Nothing Love, Peace and Understanding Ziggy/Nuela Chogyal C.E.O. (Concerned Environmental Officer) H.E.A.L.
