Today I met a guy name Amir. He's an air condition guy Esther called. Usually I wouldn't have met him since personally I don't need an AC unit around the house. It's cool enough and if not, I can meditate to cool myself. I can be just fine without it. But, I have others. ;)

Anyway, I met Amir and talked. Again, usually, I'd have treated him just like another guy or whatever. But I talked to him this time. I mean I really talked to him. As I really talk, I could see him totally paying attention. I almost had to snap my fingers by force of habit. I realized that when you really talk to somebody, it's like really listening. Anyway by this time already he was talking about his coworkers, stress, etc., etc.

Of course, I gave him a bit more talk by applying what I've learned and realized, and all of the sudden he was having a different look. He was becoming to understand more about other people. He was already a different person and less stressed then when he came. Guess what?

I could feel that I just helped him somehow in his mind. And guess what? He gave us a great discount, probably close to 3K! I know this because I had one installed before on the other house. What else can you ask for more? We saved about 3K; better yet I put a little spec of light in him.

Later, he said, "I don't care if I get the job. Can I have your phone number?" I grinned as I was telling him my number. Not because of the money that we saved, but the fact that I helped him BE and he appreciated it. He said as he was giving me the estimate, "This is a brother job quote." I thanked him. :)

Pollock (2005): p.43) provides a teaching story that evocatively describes the "nature of a Bodhisattva" and mentions 'circumambulation' (Tibetan: skor ba):

The nature of the Bodhisattva is apparent from a teaching story in which three people are walking through a desert. Parched and thirsty, they spy a high wall ahead. They approach and circumnavigate it, but it has no entrance or doorway. One climbs upon the shoulders of the others, looks inside, yells “Eureka” and jumps inside. The second then climbs up and repeats the actions of the first. The third laboriously climbs the wall without assistance and sees a lush garden inside the wall. It has cooling water, trees, fruit, etc. But, instead of jumping into the garden, the third person jumps back out into the desert and seeks out desert wanderers to tell them about the garden and how to find it. The third person is the Bodhisattva.

more about Bodhisattva

thinking tonight if i have done what i felt before, and the answer is yes. i'm happy. :)
