I became enlightened and he vanished

Article by Manric F. Hardwill

My man was good! Better than most. He worked his tail off allday, seven days a week, to bring in the money, good money, thatkept me living comfortably. All the necessities were there and somegreat luxuries as well, like a couple of cruises. As a provider he was second to none. I had everything I could want, and some to spare as well, and then I became enlightened, and everything went to hell in a big hurry: he left me!

I saw that his clothes were clean, and food cooked, and did allthe proper things I was supposed to do. Things were solid in the bedroom, not a blemish to his name, but enlightenment told me thatI deserved more and better and that's when I went looking for moreand better! Heck, we only have a short time on this rock-of-a-planet,so I went looking, in all the wrong places, but they seemed veryappealing to me at the time before he vanished. New friends madeeverything glitter like I'd never see things glitter before.

I give him his due! He talked to me, very reasonably, all calmand collected, like he always was. He even got me help, and not ofthe cheap kind. He went with me to the counseling sessions as ifhe were the culprit and not I. He did exactly what the counselor toldhim to do, but I knew better and listened to my friends, and I had aball! He was attached to me and the glue kept him in place, or so I thought before he vanished!

There were parties, and I've never seen anyone try so hard tofit in and please me. There also were parties I attended alone whenhe was at work. They were fun and exciting and liberating and I was getting what I was seeking. Well, hind sight says that's a pile ofcrock. My wardrobe then bristled with all this newness, and I contributed generously to the fashion stores. I was the bright, new,penny that glistened among the drab ones. All that was before hesimply vanished like you know what.

My new life continued till I, or it, ran out of steam. I think it was a little bit of both. Looking back my enlightenment was a fool's glow. The part! ies have stopped and so has the support he has been sending me. Friends? I seem to scrape the bottom of the barrel nowadays. I wish I knew where he was so that I can say I'm sorry for what I did to him and the life we had together.

Enduring bitter cold Monday morning, a Westminster firefighter battles a blaze at the Lao Buddhist Temple. The building was a total loss. (Steve Nehf, The Denver Post) WESTMINSTER — Brutal cold mixed with cold reality for members of the burned-out Lao Buddhist Temple of Colorado on Monday as they mourned the potential loss of artifacts saved by generations of worshippers. "It's not good, it's not good at all," said an exhausted Tom Pong as dusk fell over the remnants of the temple. "There is lots of history, over 100 years of it, and it could be lost forever." Pieces charred or melted by the fire — which started just before 6 a.m. — included several Buddha figures. Worries about asbestos prevented Pong and other members of the temple from going inside to assess the damage. The temple is part of an older building that the congregation bought in the early 1980s and then expanded on a 6-acre parcel at 10685 Dover St. The older section has asbestos,

Danish Buddhist leader, Lama Ole, to visit in Snohomish

SNOHOMISH -- An unconventional guest is coming to Snohomish County next week. Ole Nydahl, a 70-year-old Danish leader of Diamond Way Buddhism, is visiting followers here in the Pacific Northwest. Nydahl's school of thought can be described as an adaptation of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism to the Western culture, said Daria Novoselova, who will be hosting Nydahl's meeting with students in her Snohomish home. Nydahl, who is known as Lama Ole, is expected to arrive Monday. He is scheduled to give a talk at the University of Washington later that day. Novoselova, 29, felt drawn to Diamond Way Buddhism as soon as she met Nydahl. She remembers that very first lecture. She was 16 and living in Yekaterinburg, Russia, when her older brother brought her along to the lama's talk. "I immediately felt at home," she said. "I had all these ideas about the world, and, suddenly, everything came together." At the end of that lecture, she accepted a blessing
