1. The law of love…

    Comment

    It is the law of love that rules mankind. Had violence, i.e. hate, ruled us
    we should have become extinct long ago. And yet, the tragedy of it is that
    the so-called civilized men and nations conduct themselves as if the basis
    of society was violence. ~Mohandas K. Gandhi

  2. Kitty loves noodle

    Your cat will pick up on your mood
    and will change their mood based on yours.

  3. Love never dies

    Comment

    Hatred ever kills, love never dies; such is the vast difference between the two.
    What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves
    a burden in reality for it increases hatred. ~Mohandas K. Gandhi

  4. The best way to stay close to someone you love

    Comment

    Sometimes the best way to stay close to someone you love
     is by being just a friend. The one who trusts you more
    than others, the one who knows and understands you more
    than yourself is your best friend and nothing can change
    this truth ever. ~Unknown

  5. Kittie wants to play

    Comment

    Cats may chew electrical cords because they’re bored or stressed, or because they just enjoy the texture. Chewing electrical cords is dangerous! Take the steps below to stop this behavior. Check each step as you take it until the chewing has stopped.

    • Give your cat safe rubber objects to chew instead of cords. Try rubbing a rubber toy such as a Kong with tuna juice.
    • Hide the cords, if possible, under rugs or strong tape so your cat can’t chew them. Or run the cords through hollow PVC pipe, cord covers, or empty paper towel rolls. Coat the cords with something that is safe but tastes bad, such as Bitter Apple, which you can find at pet-supply stores.

  6. Kitten very hungry and sleepy

    Comment

    All cats, even cats who never interact with other animals or venture outdoors, should be examined at least once a year and receive vaccinations against rabies and other diseases, as recommended by their veterinarian. Regular veterinary visits, as well as preventative care, such as keeping cats indoors and providing good nutrition, are key to ensuring the highest quality of life for cats.

  7. Blooms unexpectedly

    Comment

    Love is the flower of life, and blooms unexpectedly and without law,
    and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour
    of its duration. ~Unknown

  9. A mixture of sunshine and rain

    Comment

    If you are depressed, you live in the past…
    If you are anxious, you live in the future…
    If you are happy … You live in the present.
    ~Lao Tzu

    Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain, teardrops and laughter,
    pleasure and pain. Just remember, there was never a cloud
    that the sun couldn’t shine through. ~Unknown

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
