RIGHT VIEW Understanding the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering What is the cessation of suffering? It is the remainderless fading away and ceasing, the giving up, relinquishing, letting go, and rejecting of craving. (MN 9)

Reflection Though suffering is ubiquitous its cause can be identified, and once you know the cause of something you can bring it to an end by dismantling that cause. When craving fades away, the suffering it causes also fades, and when craving is completely eliminated, suffering too is ended forever. This is what the Buddha accomplished on the night of his awakening. Daily Practice Even if we do not awaken once and for all the way the Buddha did, we have it within our power to orchestrate moments of awakening—moments devoid of greed, hatred, and delusion. As an everyday practice, look for ways of “giving up” craving, of “relinquishing” wanting things to be other than they are, of “letting go” of constantly favoring some things and opposing others. Reject craving whenever you can.

Today is VETERAN'S DAY. (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans. It was established by President Woodrow Wilson to be observed on the 11th day of the 11th month to mark the ending of World War I a year earlier on this date.  It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of WWI. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Gay Wisdom for Daily Living from White Crane Institute

"With the increasing commodification of gay news, views, and culture by powerful corporate interests, having a strong independent voice in our community is all the more important. White Crane is one of the last brave standouts in this bland new world... a triumph over the looming mediocrity of the mainstream Gay world." - Mark Thompson
