At the moment of death, there are two things that count: whatever we have done in our lives, and what state of mind we are in at the very moment. Even if we have accumulated a lot of negative karma, if we are able to make a real change of heart at the moment of death, it can decisively influence our future, and transform our karma, for the moment of death is an exceptionally powerful opportunity to purify karma.

Grant your blessings so that my mind may be one with the Dharma.

Grant your blessings so that Dharma may progress along the path.

Grant your blessings so that the path may clarify confusion.

Grant your blessings so that confusion may dawn as wisdom.

Jesus Said, "When you're celebrating a wedding, you don't skimp on the
cake and wine. You feast. Later you may need to pull in your belt, but
not now. As long as the bride and groom are with you, you have a good
time. No one throws cold water on a friendly bonfire. This is Kingdom
Come!"

Mark

Remember These Things - Druid

1. A Druid knows the nature and ways of her times.

2. A Druid knows what she knows and makes no other claims.

3. She seeks to harm none, but if faced with the necessary choice
between two ills, she will seek the lesser.

4. An evil doer must not be coddled, for if you do so, he will think
you weak, and will seek to do even greater harm having never been
shown the just comsequences of his former error. Therefore, punish
error, but without malice, and quickly.

5. Give not your living the thieves, but give to those that work
their honest due.

6. Be gentle and kind to the helpless.

7. The Dark One seeks sacrifice of the living, and loves much blood.
If you serve Her, She will ever demand more and more until She calls
for you in some foul way. Her favors are not easily won. Be warned!

8. The Bright One demands nothing, but is greatly pleased with gifts
of good deeds done in Her name. So bring Her no dead thing
(sacrifice), but things of beauy and love.

9. Place Wisdom first in your life rather than Love, for Love without
Wisdom is often hurtful; but temper Wisdom with Love.

10. A Druid seeks to know two things, and these are what she is and
what deity is. But here is a clue for the seeker: If she comes to
know the answer to either of these, she will also know the other.

11. Turn no one away who comes to you seeking the Ancient Knowledge,
even if you know he be evil. For if we teach only the good ones, how
shall the ones in error ever change their ways? But if they misuse
the Ancient Wisdom, it will draw the Dark One to them and they will
bring Death upon themselves if they change not.

12. All things can be done by remembering who you really are.

13. A Druid who once knows the way, and goes astray, is like one who
is up to her knees in mud. For once you have known Her, all else is
blight.

14. Seek not more than you need, and you shall ever have enough, and
even abound.

15. When you gather together on the nights of the Full Moon and on
the Great Days, you shall greet each other with a kiss of good love
and shall give this password to each other, "Perfect Love and Perfect
Peace. Blessed Be!"

16. No seed of any fruit that the Great Mother has brought forth, nor
any living creature, shall be given to the fire (sacrifice), May the
Great ones protect us!
