  8. "He who is enlightened by Dao seems wrapped in darkness. He who is advanced in Dao seems to be going back. He who walks smoothly in Dao seems to be on a rugged path" - Lao Zi
  9. My pooch is turning 9 soon, so I decided to invest a bit of money and take him to a holistic vet nutritionist. Turned out I have been feeding him mostly wrong stuff. His diet consisted of quality dry food, chicken jerky for dogs (not made in China), and home-made rice-spinach-chicken livers meals, and water. The holistic vet lady said that feeding an animal dry food (even quality kind) is like for us eating pocessed food at McDonald - bad. Makes sense. She also said, to my surprise, that chicken meat in general is not healthy food for dogs. Also, she told me not to use any salt for his home-made meals. The healthiest and most wholesome food for a dog is RAW ORGAN meat from an animal (usually available at your local produce market and very inexpensive) - livers, heart, kidneys, brain, tongue, etc. These are rich in all kinds of vitamins and minerals, including vits A, E, C, B, amino acids L-Carnitine and Taurine, etc. Also, raw bones that don't splinter, like an ox tail. Fish (sardines, salmon, etc) and raw eggs are also great - rich in Vit E. Dry freeze kidneys, mussels, beef bites, salmon jerky, etc also make wholesome snacks. Cooked rice in limited quantities, veggies and roots are fine (mine loves fresh turmeric root chopped into his meals). As a dog grows older, probiotics also become a must to help digestion and overall wellbeing. As far as supplements, for an aging dog she recommended CoQ10, fish oil, Milk Thistle, Curcumin, Chlorella, and kelp..which I sprinkle in his meals daily. Here's a sample recipe that Max loves: 1 tbl sp cooked organic rice + fresh chopped baby spinach leaves + any kind of raw organ meat (or combination) chopped + chopped fresh turmeric root = saute all this lightly for a couple of minutes in a bit of coconut oil -> let cool off -> sprinkle with probiotics/ supplements -> serve C(: Your furball will love it, guaranteed
  10. I think someone's getting hungry here
  11. @Annetta Try to feed them raw livers, hearts, kidneys, etc. I use culinary scissors to cut up organ meat into small bite size pieces, and also slightly saute with spinach, cooked rice, and turmeric root in a bit of coconut oil (no added salt). Experiment with this and work out a menu that fits your pets' taste.
  12. Raw organ meat is cheap - I spend around $30/ month, my Max weighs 18 lb. I feed him 2 meals (morning and evening) and make healthy snacks and water available throughout the day.
  13. @Shin Are you sure it's not Leo being high on something
  14. @Toby Here's the full interview the Park Bench part came from: Also, if you haven't watched this interview with Eckhart, it's quite interesting as well:
  15. When the energy of 'me' (the energy of seeking) suddenly collapses, all there is is the infinite, is being-ness, is freedom.
  16. @Shin That's so beautiful, thank you for sharing! Those are special moments of awakened mindfulness, purity, and peace. I often see the world around me like that too
  17. He did stay at a Buddhist monastery for awhile. There's an interview where he says he slept on park benches...that sounds like homeless to me. But I could be wrong.
  18. @Prabhaker I'm not against poetry, I love poetry and used to write it myself. What I was talking about is a teacher who don't beat around the bush , but give you the bullet of truth to bite when the bullet of truth is due, and thus helping you gradually graduate from 'milk' to 'meat', so to speak. Hey, I just used metaphors
  19. He probly stayed in the city cos there was food for homeless available there. But I'm not saying what he did was wrong, after a while, though, he went back to living in apartment, driving a car, getting a girl-friend, writing books, giving public talks, making money, etc. If he didn't have education, his success as a writer and speaker most likey wouldn't have been possible.
  20. @electroBeam You wanna be like Eckhart Tolle sleeping on park benches instead?
  21. @SFRL Also consider adding a couple table spoons of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar to your daily water...so many health benefits and makes water not taste so bland.
  22. Half your weight in ounces. I weigh 110 lb, so my daily water intake is around 55 oz.
