1. Be contented with the connection

    Comment

    Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to be together.
    Sometimes, you just have to be friends and be contented
    with the connection that you both have. ~Unknown

  2. Engraved upon your heart

    Comment

    If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never
    hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved
    upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want
    to forget, you cannot hate. ~C. Joybell C.

  3. They have to go

    Comment

    If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you
    for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made,
    if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have
    to go. ~Steve Maraboli

  4. Kitty on duty

    Comment

    Domestic cats love to play, this is especially true with kittens who love
    to chase toys and play fight. Play fighting among kittens may be a way
    for them to practice and learn skills for hunting and fighting.

  5. Follow your heart away

    Comment

    There will be a time when you are forced to follow your heart
    away from someone you love. ~Ashly Lorenzana

  6. Cute and curious cat

    Comment

    Cats communicate by marking trees, fence posts,
    or furniture with their claws or their waste.
    These scent posts are meant to inform others
    of a cat’s home range. House cats employ
    a vocal repertoire that extends from a purr
    to a screech. Source: National Geographic

  7. Resentment

    Comment

    Hanging on to resentment is letting someone you despise
    live rent-free in your head. ~Ann Landers

  8. Very little is needed

    Comment

    Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.    Over-thinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off things that don’t help you. Think positive. ~Unknown

  9. Unnecessarily thinking

    Comment

    Unnecessarily thinking and worrying only help
    you in making your life more complicated. 
     
    ~Anurag Prakash Ray

  10. Hurtful actions and reprisals

    Comment

    Hurtful actions and reprisals are different but closely related. Actions once done are finished with, there’s no need to answer with revenge and hostility. This is called “action” (kamma). “Reprisal” (vera) means to continue that action further with thoughts of “you did it to me so I’m going to get you back.” There’s no end to this. It brings about the continual seeking of revenge, and so hatred is never abandoned. As long as we behave like this the chain remains unbroken, there’s no end to it. No matter where we go, the feuding continues. ~Ajahn Chah

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

My reflection

Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?

Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.

Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.

May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.

As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, so the wise are not shaken by blame and praise. As a deep lake is clear and calm, so the wise become tranquil after they listened to the truth…

Good people walk on regardless of what happens to them. Good people do not babble on about their desires. Whether touched by happiness or by sorrow, the wise never appear elated or depressed. ~The Dhammapada

Beauty in nature

A beautiful object has no intrinsic quality that is good for the mind, nor an ugly object any intrinsic power to harm it. Beautiful and ugly are just projections of the mind. The ability to cause happiness or suffering is not a property of the outer object itself. For example, the sight of a particular individual can cause happiness to one person and suffering to another. It is the mind that attributes such qualities to the perceived object. — Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Nature is loved by what is best in us. The sky, the mountain, the tree, the animal, give us a delight in and for themselves. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Our journey for peace
begins today and every day.
Each step is a prayer,
Each step is a meditation,
Each step will build a bridge.

—​​​ Maha Ghosananda
