Check out the Dhammapada!

-

 First time I read the Buddha dudes path of truth "The Dhammapada" it resonated so much with my soul, I was up to my neck in all sorts of skulduggery at the time, mind was riddled with poison, I was at rock bottom and was on my last big risk taking gamble to make me a few quid and put me back ahead on the monopoly board but I got robbed, robbed twice infact and left with a hefty debt with people who dont send court letters😎, looking over my shoulder and checking under my car everyday, it was not a nice place! 


My addiction problems had worsened tenfold also!


I was up to no good and when your in that underworld you blind yourself with drink and drugs to get on with things, thinking one day I'll get the money and sail off into the sunset and sort my head out then!


Never ends up like that, have seen the same gangsters chase this all their lives, when they do make large windfalls its a time of celebration, more drink, drugs and lavish lifestyles and with all that money just made they carry on getting sucked into a never ending black hole and then a hole in the ground for most of them!


Its a fools game!!!


Anyhow when I started studying Buddhism it made me see that I can change this with how I interact with the world around me, my choices, thoughts, intentions, deeds, who I surround myself with, it made me foresee the outcome of my actions!


I created the mayhem. the darkness, the addictions, it was all my own doing, no one was to blame but me!


I thank and pray to the Buddhas every day for finding this way and sharing it, Buddhism to me teaches us how to live better, how to be happier and healthier!


Looking for who to blame and causes of our problems didnt really make sense to me, Buddhism has taught me to look for how to change that! 


Life changing guys, just what the world needs right now!

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with ...

 Good morning guys, most of you have probably seen my disheartened post the other day about me feeling a bit down on the financial side of things to do with the Phantom Planter. I've been trying for so long now to earn a decent living from it to help fuel my passion in what I'm doing. There's nothing more I'd love to be doing than going round phantom planting fruit trees and maintaining them, getting my free fruit tree map app all updated and promoting it also so everyone can have free fresh fruit. I also have plans for my Oak Grove museum and several other community and nature projects I had on my mind. But for the past while I've been spending hours every day doing all sorts of work to do with the phantom planter and It's always been in the back of my head at times, what am I doing?? As most of you know I've been donated a small plot of land and I'm intending on building a cabin on it and I need money to do this. I'm living in a rotted rented cabin...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
