My dad went into the hospital early Thanksgiving morning for a serious recurring intestinal problem.
Usually, it resolves within a day or two.
This time though there's no change in his condition, and he may have to think about next steps soon, whatever those might be.
This is just another in a long series of health problems over the last 20 years, so he could really use some relief for once.
I was also hoping he could join me tomorrow as I take refuge, but that won't be possible now.
I'll be doing some Medicine Buddha mantras for him and all people with recurrent health issues these next few days.
I'd love it if others would join me.

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."
Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

Re: Prayer for dad
We thank you for your prayers.
My dad was able to go home Sunday night, but had to return to the hospital yesterday when his condition worsened again.
Your continued support would be much appreciated

I didn't get a chance to do puja . . . somehow missed it.
Glad things went well.
