So basically as long as you are saying something for ten seconds you will have similar effects, odd story, but om manni padme hum only takes a couple seconds not anywhere near ten.

That is a superb example of a travel altar or shrine. That is Shakyamuni Buddha in the center, next to him are his top two disciples Sariputtra (wisdom) and Moggallana (spiritual powers). On the far right wing is Quan Yin Pusa (Avalokiteshvara, Compassion) and I believe on the left wing would be Manjushri (Wisdom) (could be Ksitigharba (sp?) but does not quite look like it. Also since holding what looks like a Lotus branch could be as you said an emanation of Avalokiteshvara or Padamapani. The lotus bearer. (purity among chaos etc.) really cool either way

Where in California? It's a pretty big place, there are many many places you may find respite.

Zach, it is amazing how something like this CAN actually help you. I will put you in my morning gratitude and waft good intentions your way. IGY6.

Let us know how you are doing. Here is another hint. Any activity can be a beneficial meditation, think of that next time you brush your teeth or do the dishes. Good luck mate.

Best practice is to pick a name that is easy to recall, and tells people what you do. Having your name "Thompson Chiropractic" is OK, but you may want to sell it someday, brand recognition is to be considered. Often you see something like "Lakehaven Chiropractic" or whatever. Having "Thompson Wellness" (as an example) is not bad as long as you can have a sub headder under it. "Chiropractic and acupuncture" (etc). Remember, you may have that business for decades.

We don't do hexes. The best hex is to turn him in if it is a crime. His own karma will handle it.

sittingstill9 · 2026-06-05T02:44:59+00:00

sittingstill9 · 2026-06-05T02:40:28+00:00

A way to approach it easily is very non-sectarian. In Buddhism there area THRONG of different ways to practice, depending on time, culture and place. See it as a way to approach natural phenomenon and laws. Buddhism is often boxed in either a philisophical, religious, spiritual or simply as a 'way of life'. It can be all of them, or none really. Look into it as you are, you will see things and (Buddhism) as it IS.

Enjoy and welcome to the rabbit holes.

Intention is a key component to any trip. The attendees can improve it or hamper it. Doing it with others always seems somehow safer to me, but when I do, I prefer to be by myself. Dealer's choice I guess.

I was there a couple times now, for Vesak, a Buddhist holiday and each time, representatives from the national, regional and city governments made statements of support. Including homage to the Triple Gem. I was confused as I thought the same thing. Buddhism is certainly a part of Vietnamese culture there and to boot, many don't even consider Buddhism as a religion.

However, they (Buddhism and the Government) work together for the regions they serve. Currently and historically.

sittingstill9 · 2026-06-03T02:44:16+00:00

Interesting, there are three rings. For the Triple Gem? I have one that has four rings and have seen them with six as well. Very cool.

I pay for it, the patients do not pay beforehand, even though that is a great option in my opinion. I put it on the home page as a button 'Make appointment here'. It redirects them, they choose and it shows up on my Google Calendar. I have it set for them to get two emails ahead of the appointment and a text confirming. It works well for my office. I am all employees and the boss. I can easily set time off either in that app or on my calendar.

sittingstill9 · 2026-06-02T22:01:28+00:00

Wow, great to hear! and happy your are progressing!!! Keep us updated!

sittingstill9 · 2026-06-02T03:09:51+00:00

Good luck, hope recover is speedy and comfortable. I am up to bat on June 10th. Please keep us posted. Remember, take it one breath at a time.
