Every person on earth should have a computer in their house if they can afford it.

May Don be given the opportunity to live his life, as he is obviously a good and worthwhile human being. If not, i pray he will have the courage to face his death and enjoy a good rebirth in human form, or in the Pureland. Namo Amida bu

Transform the "out there" with the changes from within.

[Electrolux1111]

I believe that Don will begin again in a beautiful place of refuge of The Three Jewels just as he aspired.

[clearskymind]

May Don have a precious human rebirth.

Generally speaking I don't think it's a good idea to be a karma referee

and throw down the red flag. However here is a case that is a matter of

life and death. Therefore I throw down the red flag and cry "foul" to those

responsible for going through with this execution. The execution of a

sincere Buddhist practitioner carries extremely heavy karma for the

Oklahoma authorities who are responsible. The karma for executing

a sincere Dharma student will harm the Oklahoma authorities for lifetimes.

[Starwheel6]

Don claims that his estranged wife & brother set him up.

It's possible Oklahoma authorities may be executing an innocent man.

The truth of the matter is in question.

It's sad to see that Oklahoma authorities

lack the wisdom to realize the preciousness of life..

Along w/ these questions, the story of Milarepa comes to mind.

Milarepa killed people, realized his misdeeds,

then transformed his karma through practice,

Attaining beneficial yogi-saint realizations.

Please open 2 human potential here.

I got this link from Ajahn Thanasanti's site. Beautiful words. Don's story has touched my heart and I will be praying for Don.

[RJASTOWELL1]

Thanks Susan for the wonderful and inspiring words on Don's behalf and on behalf of the power and profundity of the Buddhadharma.

Our Sanghas in Virginia will be praying for Don. Given his faith and devotion, it seems likely that he will have an auspicious rebirth and meet the perfect teacher(s).

Many blessings in the days ahead... jeremy
