Phase Two of my Cancer Story

 It's June 30th, 2026. Today I go see the lung doctor about this spot they found on my lung.  I've been here before, a little over five years ago. When they found a spot back then I cried. I cried for myself mostly, but now, after solidifying my Buddhist faith in the Mystic Law ad the Lotus Sutra, I will only cry for those I would be leaving behind. I no longer fear death for I know this is all part of the universal plan in which I am a spec of dust that has flown in and out, and this happens over and over again.

Having said this, I haven't giving up, I'm just beginning.  I've chanted and prayed that the spot will be gone or at the very least, benign, for I have a mission, a mission to show proof of my faith in the Lotus Sutra, in chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo.  I need my lungs for these words.  And if this is cancer, I've chanted for the best doctors and medicine to cure this body I need for my mission. 

The buddhist organization I belong to will turn 100 in 2030. I plan on being here for that. 

Stay tuned boys and girls.  This is phase two of my cancer story which you can find on Kosen-Rufu.com.

The Opening Thoughts of Eso Terry For His New Blog

Good morning beautiful world, these are the opening thoughts of Eso Terry, liberated from giving a shit about what people say or think.  First, I am a humanist, which makes me liberal because I believe people are more important than oligarchs.  Yes, greed.  However, I am not perfect, I am an United States male born in 1959 who grew up wanting things.  Yes, materialist.  That word that use to be bad to Madame Blavatsky and the spiritual enlightenment of the early 20th century.  In some ways, I see that time of seances and gurus as the turning point, the point where we had achieved a spiritual awakening that could have made us a great society, a society where we controlled population to allow for endless happiness using the resources we have here on this planet. But the capitalist pigs told us our resources were endless, and so we built, bought, borrowed, and slaved to make the world we have today. There is no going back.  Since we failed to do it ourselves, the universe will make this happen.  We will see a lot of unnecessary death in the 21st century.  We are seeing it now in wars that aren't really wars, unless you are a Palestinian trying to get a cup of safe driniing water, or a Ukrainian trying to walk your kid to school. Thousands are dying, from bombs, starvation, malnutrition, etc., and yet, we buy things. I'm not innocent, I haven't done my share, and this is where my blog begins.
