Here in the “watercooler”, a shout out to our friends in Sydney and other places affected by the heat today. It’s hot all over the east coast, especially in the Hunter. Right now:
Only the arahants can stay cool in weather like this!

I am at the airport, just about to leave. Yay! So I guess that means I am not an arahant.

Right? But there’s a lot of Chinese people in Sydney, so that explains it.

Hope you had a good Uposatha - here the Uposatha only just starts: 10:52 local time.

On this beautiful Uposatha I thought, let’s read a few Jataka tales, and this is how one of them ends:
“When the treasurer passed away to fare according to his deserts…”
Almost “desserts”… 
And mind you…that treasurer was the Buddha in a former life!!
You too!

Saturdays and sundays mean nothing to me anymore.
Maybe because on Saturdays my husband is working and sundays… that’s so catholic 
The Uposatha are my new sundays - so refreshing!
