ABOUT THUNDERHANDS



About Me: "Wakiya" (Thunder)
I am a Tribal, Musician, Writer, Artist. I try to walk the path and have studied the tradition of the "Wisdom keepers" like Lame Deer, Fools Crow, Black Elk, and Rolling Thunder from the tribes of this region, and Lao Tzu, Buddha, Bodhidharma, Yeshua, and other enlightened ones from the many various tribes of the earth. I understand the worlds religions and belief systems, and realize the division this can cause by the lack of understanding the "real message" from the Masters. My intention, and life's prayer is to try to live in harmony with Grandmother Earth, Grandfather sky, (Nature) and "the spirit that moves in all things," and help in any way I can to build a bridge between all men and tribes so they can walk their path in a manner that will benefit themselves, the Earth and others. I open up, and ask Great Spirit, The creator, The Tao, The Universe, to work and direct healing and positive energy through me by different means, like the Flute, drums, Words, Prayer, and Touch. I try to be loving and accept others from the heart, and practice forgiveness. I honor all people, the winged one's, and four legged ones considering us all equal, not one being above another. I honor the bountiful Harvest from Mother earth in the form of plant life, water, air and herbs which sustain our oneness with her. I pray all tribes should re-unite as one, so we may protect the planet and live in harmony. Within you, without you.

Buddha and Christ Mind



When you say a prayer or make supplication to the Deity, there are certain things you should remember. Remember that your essence or spirit is actually the Christ or Buddha within. That's why in zen they say Buddha mind or Christ mind if you will, because that very same spirit is within you or is you. Through years of conditioning we forget who we are. We become accustomed to thinking that our ego is us, when in reality our "essence" is the true self or the true mind. That's why when some bow to the Buddha or make supplication to Christ it is really what that image represents that we are paying homage to. That image represents what our true capability is. Its a reminder to us. Meditation or just being still is the only approach that allows us to see the thoughts and habits that get in the way of that clear being or essence within. To catch a glimpse is to be inspired. Little glimpses over time allow us to see longer ones. This is the way to walk the path and allow that essence to come through. Be as a child again, have the innocence of a child, and you will regain your true heritage which is Buddha mind or Christ mind.
