Loving Kindness to All Beings

Whatever beings there may be,
weak or strong, long, medium sized or short,
large or small, seen or unseen,
near & far, those born & are seeking birth
without exception
May all beings be well and happy

And let one cultivate a heart of loving kindness
towards the whole world, above, below and across
unhindered, without ill-will, without enmity

While standing, walking, sitting or lying down
let one keep to this mindfulness.
This they say is the highest living.

Not falling into wrong views, virtuous
Endowed with insight
Having discarded sense desires, surely
One will be reborn in a womb

- Abridged from the Metta Sutra

The frog croaked and will soon bathe in the sacred waters of Triveni Sangam (confluence of the 3 seas).

Dude, the frog (see photo) that's going to bathe in Triveni Sangam looks like he's smoking pot, there's smoke billowing from his mouth; he's also in dreads and has some reggae bonnet going on in there, very fashionable. -grasshopper

I was trying to look for some artistic frog photos in the net and that's the only one that looked cool.

Yes, he's smoking pot... It's a rastafrog chilling out on the beach.

There are schools in Tantra yoga that actually use natural herbs to help them experience bliss.
