Influences.

This morning I was in the Embassy. A man gave us all a number and all went nicely to sit on a chair. Some time passed. One felt more need to turn around on his feet and so left his chair. His mouth always moving - yang yang yang in high speed with a chewing gum in there. An old man almost felt asleep, another looked simple around like me. One moved one foot up and down, also in high speed.

Some gave critic because of the slowly movement in the office. Others started to give critics as well. The critics ran outside the Embassy, spreading their colorful phantasies.

Looking to everyone in that room, I was so thinking; as beings without inherent existence, what was there to judge in them? However they appeared, whatever they said, what was there to see so that samenesses or differences could be of any importants in them? They just appeared in mind!
What a peace!

Numbers 99 , 00 , 01! I had to go. Next to me was a man. Hey! A "Buddha"!
He was so soft smiling, he was warm talking and said to the lady who had to apply his visa: "No madame, you gave me not enough money back." In his voice was no any judgement at all but it sounded warm and clear with confidence.
"No no", said the lady.

"You gave me only one of 20 back", said "Buddha" smiling in a sea of calmth. Now the lady went to check it carefully. She came back and said: "Apologize sir, you are right." But "Buddha" only laughed happely without expressing inherent core, his whole being expressed only equanimity and kindness.
Behind us, on the chairs the people sat calm. No any critics were to hear. Everyone was nicely waiting.

What a great visit at the Embassy!
