1. Peace is Every Step

    Comment

    Peace is every step.
    The shining red sun is my heart.
    Each flower smiles with me.
    How green, how fresh all that grows.
    How cool the wind blows.
    Peace is every step.
    It turns the endless path to joy.

    ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  2. Kitties are too hungry

    Comment

    Water is an extremely important nutrient that contributes to overall health in every living creature.  Couple this with the fact that cats do not have a very strong thirst drive when compared to other species, and you will understand why it is critical for them to ingest a water-rich diet. The cat’s lack of a strong thirst drive can lead to low-level, chronic dehydration when dry food makes up the bulk of their diet especially if they have any level of kidney insufficiency.  A cat’s normal prey contains approximately 70 – 75 percent water.  Dry food only contains 5-10 percent water whereas canned foods contain  approximately 78 percent water.  Canned foods therefore more closely approximate the natural diet of the cat and are better suited to meet the cat’s water needs.

    Pain makes you stronger.
    Tears make you braver.
    Headaches makes you wiser.
    True friends make you forget
    all the nonsense! ~sms

  4. Faith and Prayer are invisible

    Comment

    If you can solve your problem, then what is need of worrying? If you cannot solve it,
    then what is the use of worrying? Faith and Prayer are invisible but they make
    impossible things possible. ~Santabanta sms

  5. Coffee for beautiful souls

    Comment

    I never ever thought I’d like you this much and I never planned
    to have you on my mind this often. If I could give you one thing in life,
    I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes,
    only then will you realize how special you are. ~Santabanta sms

  6. Reminding you to smile

    Comment

    Smile to old means respect
    Smile to child means innocence
    Smile to friend means care
    Smile in front of mobile, a mental case.
    Still smiling?

  7. Turtle skateboarding

    Comment

    Baby turtles are called “Sparkies.” Turtles can do rudimentary math, like addition and subtraction, but they lack the capacity to truly understand negative numbers. Turtles only have one organ that handles all of a turtle’s bodily functions, such as digesting food, and making the turtle blink, and nothing else. That’s all turtles need to do. If you compliment a turtle, it will blush super hard. In turtle, the word for “hello” is the same as the word for “goodbye.” Source: The MindHut

    I cannot live without you. ~Santabanta sms

     

     

  9. It remains with you

    Comment

    Love is like a phone call, if you do not pick, it will be missed.
    But Friendship is like a message, it remains with you until you open it.

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
