Yesterday, my sister was travelling through here on the way to our home town for Christmas, so I met her for a short talk for an hour at the railway station.
She gave me a picture she had already painted three years ago and had always wanted to give me, and I thought I should share it here, and its humorous significance.
(https://forum.sangham.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9619.0;attach=7852)
She explained its meaning: There is a small golden spot on the index finger. That is meant to be a "booger" (gooey mucus from the nose; the German word: "Popel").
The person seems to be enjoying the meal from his nose with a peaceful, serene expression on his face.
It should be a reminder to appreciate the little good things in life.
To relate it back to the Dhamma: Sweat the small stuff (http://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/lib/authors/thanissaro/sweetthesmall_en.pdf) (essay by Ven. Thanissaro)
Or, via the Dhammapada:
One should not think lightly of doing evil, imagining "A little will not affect me"; just as a water-jar is filled up by falling drops of rain, so also, the fool is filled up with evil, by accumulating it little by little.
One should not think lightly of doing good, imagining 'A little will not affect me'; just as a water-jar is filled up by falling drops of rain, so also, the wise one is filled up with merit, by accumulating it little by little."]

Thank you for trying to help me feel less stupid, Bong Villa. _/\_ ^-^
I had just seen some similarity with Bhante and shown her. And thought I'd show it here as well: "Maybe it is something to laugh."
But not really the right forum for this vulgar kind of humour. :-|
So enough sillyness for now. <.I.> :D
Metta to all. May no one be distracted from what is important.
