paṭisandhi...wandering on, from birth to birth. Possible born in the underground store room and gotten disturbed by snake, the mother had relocated they new born behind the books, pulling one page after another as protection over them.

Having left space behind the books so that it isn't attractive for certain ant-folks, mice now felt fine.

Relocating them outside, near, where the mother soon will find them again, and covered with warm and roof, as rain arose this morning.

Fest days spend, as well as all old merits, the whole village moved north ward, cutting wood, clearing forest.

A good time without medicine for inhalation makes like drunken and wired, possible much more O2 as used which works like toxic. So much mindfulness and slow down required, to do not fall.

[Johann]

Going down, fixing the fence with what ever material left (the before dedicated has gone lost in the village), started to move sand for the path and resting a little, a village woman entered and went up the path. Asking her what she is up, she told that she had seen white ant towers along the path when she came up for Buddha washing some days ago, and likes to dig the children out to feed her chicken with it.

Atma did not even desired to explain patiently, but simply cast her away, for it's simply useless to speak with "animals" on good and bad.

As usual, when down, fools went up to either cut or burn. Since there is simply no interest in else then hell, bond and decay, and because some faithful carry all the burden merely alone while all others just watch out for consume and pleasing times, Atma thought: "Enough. To long speaking on and on. Time to release some from the burden to look after this place."

Less might be able to see the many goodness of many, many the many years, small and huge, but non impure. Right in the forest, nothing on rights, but simply goodness, liberal given.

Now, this times of good prosperty and any faith is gone and people are drunken with machines, alcohol and past merits, grave evil and desires roles their hearts, and the hell gates are as open as never before.
Corrupt on all sides just wait to make money and gain with what had been sacrificed in faith, for they wouldn't have any idea of another use of it.

Even going for alms... it's like feeding a walking around cancer on behave of others, so not pleasant at all. Or given in advantage to feel not to bad in going for unskilled afterwards.

The same here. A burden for some to help to maintain and a burden for many delight in bad and corrupt ways.

Sitting in seclusion, Atma had to reflect the merits done by the pavilion and Bodhi tree, used the occasion the last days for taking meal before going up.

Thought that many new planted, hot and nobody watering them, remembering being given water, Atma went down to do what can be done.

After about 1m sand a hard and seal layer preventing the water sink away.

While watering one villager family after another returned with a load of wood for producing coal, and the now land lord, former native village priest drove back drunken home with Nyom Chhim the tractor owner and field clearer.

That's the common use of the religion, here and elsewhere... selling off what ever heritage could be sold and putting it under the faked flag of the Gems to get the equipment and fuel sponsered...

Finally resolved to go no more for alms, as it's of no use anymore, it looks like the going on needs another delay, since the robe garment has done it's time to persist. It might last long enough, not much to walk about.

Fire still burning behind the hill, usually approaching 1 or to days later from the peak downwardly. North till Bodhisatt all set on fire and smog, south burning heat over the stone and gras land.

"Wer fürchtet sich vor'm schwarzen Mann? Niemand! Doch wenn er aber kommt? Dann läufen wir davon."...

It's pleasing to neither go for alms nor to care to solve foolishness.

[Johann]

All busy in carry away heritage, it's quite silent, far off of battlefields, trade-routes, markets. Just mosquitoes desiring a share. As Nyom Sombok asked to just stay for those with Upanissaya, so well, it wouldn't be different. There are two kinds of Upanisa . One of common, and one of Noble Birth.
Nothing more importand than proper attention, right mindfulness and alertness.

[Johann]

Extreme hot, windless and cooler places refuge of mosquitoes. Now some 60, 70 hours without meal aside of some coffee and sugar, Atma thought good to give the new Bodhi trees way to survive, made a round in the afternoon to water them.
Looking also after the access one at least, while villagers and neighbors return from their forest cuts from the mountains to fire the kilns behind their houses, for making coal.

Abounding both habits again at once, 40 years+ inhalation medicine and 50 years+ gross food, is a little bit stressful, but well, if not done at time, one would be back.
Once that is done, there is again absolute no real reason to do anything, go any where, or seek anything in this world. Long time served as protection against "mosquitoes" , it then urges to abound the "mosquito" and "merit-sucker" which is actually much more difficult, but demanding virtue, and virtue, and virtue... helps, yet less those with strong relation, Upanissaya.

In the morning Nyom Chanroth came up with wife and step son. Asking about health, he desired to give congee and some fried cured fish.
Asked who's the giver ("him"), and for whom and why ("dedicated toward Sangha, thought ill, heard that not for alms three days, not at home some days), Atma accept it then.
Then a talk on addiction, and as long as not ride of gross, still bond down wardly, open for all kinds of miss-deeds.

After that, as seldom way to bind a little to listen Dhamma, the កុលាវកជាតក អដ្ឋកថា អានដោយ ព្រះ​ខេមានន្ទ

Atma lead a last introducing alms round also into the south, Bhante Subhadhammo abounded the rest of householder stuff he deposited at the south monastery.

Getting known that Bhante hasn't taken his double layer robe with him (monks usually have no idea whats the practical use of it), finding not enough robes in his color, Atma deceided to give him Atmas eight years old "house" and Bhante Khemananda helped to wash it well as well as to prepear for dying some cast off garment to sew a new double layer garment for Atma.
