Obaitori

Over the weekend I spent a lot of time around North Sydney. I was working at the Buddhist Council & did a little temple hoping too. I went to the Hare Krishna Temple & to the Mary MacKillop Place. Pope Benedict XVI has announced that Mary MacKillop will become Australia's first saint. The canonisation will take place in Rome on Sunday 17 October.

Here I found majesty, quiet & the feeling of her presence.

After a very wet Sydney weekend I came home to the fire, happy children, Dazla & this magnificent cake he made. It is Nigella Lawson's Guinness Cake. It is meant to resemble the head of a Guinness beer. My goodness, this cake is so moist, full of flavour & goes extremely well with a hot coffee.

The heart of Mary MacKillop Place is the Memorial Chapel, which holds the tomb of Mary MacKillop. The Mary MacKillop Memorial Chapel at Mount Street, North Sydney.

Inspiration

Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own way, meandering here, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the crevices. Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you. ~ Sheng-yen ~
Simplify your life, purify your heart. Slay egoism & pride, cultivate cosmic LOVE, practise SELF DISCIPLINE. Serve ALL. LOVE ALL. Hear, reflect, meditate. Enquire & know YOURSELF. Live the Eternal. There is only one language the language of the heart. There is only one law, the law of cause & effect. There is only one religion the religion of LOVE. ~ Swami Sivananda Saraswati ~
