Dharma Day

I recently felt a little dragged down by the commercial side of my freelance writing career. I generally feel perky when it comes to the creative side, but this area does not pay enough to live from on its own. Also, due to a rather lazy patch in my yoga for a few weeks, I was a little unfit and suffering from so many long hours perched in my typing chair. I therefore decided to take a day off from my writing work - and the chair - and devote it to an extended Yoga routine along with some serious Buddhism study.

Alternating between memorizing the work involved in class 1-2-3-4 of course 3 Buddhism studies from ACI (www.world-view.org/aci.) and concentrated re-reading of a personally helpful Buddhist library book originating from Sri Lanka, I occupied most of my day off. I must admit that this 'Dharma Day' holiday did me the world of good, both physically and spiritually.

I am thinking of thus occupying myself once monthly, in lieu of public holidays. (My weekend not always offering me enough time to devote an entire day to my studies & practice.)
