This is a nice reading, but short. Enjoy! This is what The Dalai Lama has to say for 2006. All it takes is a few seconds to read and think over. Do not keep this message. The mantra must leave your hands within 96 hours. You will get a very pleasant surprise. This is true for all - even if you are not superstitious...or of whatever religious belief...Faith...

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

1 and 4 are a load of crap.


Anyone that says it's a good thing to not get what you want is lying or trying to console themselves.

I miss you

I hate these chain-emails! The Wife gets a gazillion everyday. "Pass this onto blah, blah, blah and you will have good luck, blah, blah, blah."

Regardless of content I delete as soon as I see them.




(nb, having a pop at the emails, not the senders, nor posters on this thread! )

I'm just the messenger here.

But I agree that if the points are valid, whether folks are trying to attribute them to the Dalai Lama (Jesus, Allah, Krishna, etc.), accept the message.

I agree about the "chain-emails" and my comment about the number of reads was tongue-in-cheek.

However the messages, I felt might be helpful.
