Buddha Nature, by Khenpo Sherab Sangpo

Leaves and Moss by Trevor Leggett
On the first day I left the place spotless, having made a last quick circuit picking up the few newly fallen leaves.
Some Guanyins (Avalokiteshvara) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Today evening has already arrived;
Tomorrow morning will soon be here.
So, practice now before it is too late.
