the 2nd paramita, discipline. we've been doing the 6 paramitas since 2021. it's a tradition. it's different each time, yet it's rhizomatic, expanding, returning. i saw a dog on wheels off leash. the other dog with 4 working legs was on leash. the dog on wheels was veering off into the yards excitedly. we all watched the dog on wheels. at first i was set to feel sorry, then i felt excited. the human looked a little glum though. you can think of others. in the first paramita, generosity, it's the secret of happiness, because you know we're all one. all the paramitas come at once, but there are six days, one for each. there's nowhere to go, but the paramitas are a boat everyone gets in to go to the other shore, from the insane country, samsara, to sanity. when you go beyond you may look the same, but everything will be changed.
