1. For you

    Comment

    Every day is a good day
    which brings you happiness.
    In case it does not,
    don’t worry, it still gives
    you good experience.

  2. Always love me…

    Comment

    Long love is mother’s love
    Sweet love is father’s love
    Short love is lover’s love
    But strong love is friendship’s love
    So always love me.

  3. Anything for Kitty

    Comment

    Grown cats rarely, if ever, meow at one another.  As kittens, cats meow to ask things of their mothers – so if your grown cat talks to you, it may be an indication that he or she sees you as a maternal figure. According to Catster, “A cat reaches the approximate human age of 15 during its first year, then 24 at age 2. Each year thereafter, it ages approximately four ‘cat years’ for every calendar year. Thus, a 5-year-old feline would be approximately 36 in cat years.z” Source: Trupanion

  4. Sweet Love – Dog does not want to let kitty go

    Comment

    Kittens lose their “baby” teeth at around 6 months old. Cats are CLEAN – probably cleaner than you.  They spend 1/3 of their “awake time” grooming. According to the Way of Cats, our furry friends must learn to climb down a tree, whereas climbing up is instinctive. They also can’t climb down head-first because their paws point the same direction, so they are forced to back down. Source: Trupanion

  5. The way we want

    Comment

    Life never seems to be the way we want it,
    but we live it the best way we can.
    There is no perfect life,
    but we can fill it with perfect Moments.

  6. Be happy with everyone

    Comment

    Making everyone happy is not possible; so decide to be
    happy with everyone. I was looking out the windows
    thinking about the ones I care most and the people
    that came into my mind are you. ~hamariweb sms

  7. The satisfaction

    Comment

    “Those who do not know satisfaction, even when living in a heavenly palace,
    are still not satisfied. Those who do not know satisfaction, even if rich, are poor.
    People who know satisfaction, even if poor, are rich.” ~Buddha

    monkey with Buddha

    People don’t usually create the right causes. They want goodness so much, and yet they don’t work to bring it about. All they get are bad results, embroiling the mind in suffering. All people want these days is money. They think that is they just get enough money everything will be alright; so they spend all their time looking for money, they don’t look for goodness. This is like wanting meat, but not wanting salt to preserve it: you just leave the meat around the house to rot. Those who want money should know not only how to find it, but also how to look after it. If you want meat, you can’t expect to buy it and then just leave it laying around in the house. It’ll just go rotten. This kind of thinking is wrong. The result of wrong thinking is turmoil and confusion. The Buddha taught the Dhamma so that people would put it into practice, in order to know it and see it, and to be one with it, to make the mind Dhamma. When the mind is Dhamma it will attain happiness and contentment. The restlessness of samsara is in this world, and the cessation of suffering is also in this world. ~Ajahn Chah

  8. The key to success

    Success isn’t the key to happiness.
    Happiness is the key to success.

  9. Dog and Turtle

    Comment

    Turtles cannot protrude their tongues from their mouths, but they can smell. Flapping the loose skin under the chin or throat moves air over the Jacobsen’s organ. Tortoises and turtles do not have teeth. The growth rings on the scutes or scales on a tortoise cannot be used to determine the animal’s age with any degree of accuracy, as in most instances, growth spurts and interruptions in growth are determined largely by environmental conditions. Some species have hinges on either the carapace or the plastron, which allow closure of the shell. Source: PetPlace

  10. Lifelong friendship

    Comment

    The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success. ~Anna Garlin Spencer

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
