It's 9:24pm on December 31, 2011. My husband and two sons are at a New Year's Eve party, and I plan to join them there shortly. I have just finished meditating. Here is the Buddha candle before I started burning it.
You may wonder why I would want to burn such a beautiful candle. Have you ever heard the expression "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him"? In my case, I am meeting the Buddha in my four-season porch and burning him. At first, this may sound violent, harsh, wrong. But it isn't what you may think.
And here is the candle after an hour and a half of meditation. I was surprised at how little the candle burned after so much time. I noticed the wax running down the Buddha's forhead. Will he cry during my next meditation?
