1. Kitty sneaks out to play

    Comment

    Your kitty will flash you their tummy: Like most animals, cats do not show their stomachs to just anyone. If your cat rolls over on its back to give you a flash of that fuzzy belly, this is an indication that they feel comfortable around you. And not only this, but they feel loved and protected by you, rendering themselves defenseless while on their backs. Cats are prideful animals, so if they do this for you they have no concerns letting their guard down when in your presence. Source: iheartcats

  3. As far as love is concerned

    Comment

    You can love as many people as you want – that does not mean one day you will
    go bankrupt, and you will have to declare, ‘Now I have no love.’
    You cannot go bankrupt as far as love is concerned. ~Osho

  4. Seeker of truth

    Comment

    The real seeker of truth never seeks truth. On the contrary,
    he tries to clean himself of all that is untrue, inauthentic,
    insincere – and when his heart is ready, purified, the guest comes.
    You cannot find the guest, you cannot go after him.
    He comes to you; you just have to be prepared.
    You have to be in a right attitude. ~Osho

  5. No unkind word

    Comment

    There was never an occasion when the Buddha
    flamed forth in anger, never an incident
    when an unkind word escaped his lips.

    ~Dr. S. Radhakrishnan

  6. The faithful

    Comment

    Even if the faithful can recite
    only a few of the scriptures,
    if they act accordingly,
    having given up passion, hate, and folly,
    being possessed of true knowledge and serenity of mind,
    craving nothing in this world or the next,
    they are living the holy life.

    Even if the thoughtless can recite many of the scriptures,
    if they do not act accordingly,
    they are not living the holy life,
    but are like a cowherd counting the cows of others.

    ~Buddha,The Dhammapada

  7. The virtuous

    Comment

    The virtuous are happy in this world,
    and they are happy in the next; they are happy in both.
    They are happy when they think of the good they have done.
    They are even happier when going on the good path.

    Wrong-doers suffer in this world,
    and they suffer in the next; they suffer in both.
    They suffer when they think of the wrong they have done.
    They suffer even more when going on the wrong path.

    ~Buddha,The Dhammapada

  8. A cat is a lot smarter than an iPad

    Comment

    You may think your new tablet is awesome: so much processing power, so much storage space, so much speed. But don’t gloat too much, because your cat’s brain can smoke your iPad. A typical iPad has 60 gigabytes of data storage space, but your cat’s brain has about 91,000 gigabytes. In terms of processing speed, your iPad does about 170 million operations per second. Your cat’s brain, on the other hand, does 6.1 trillion operations per second. Unfortunately, your cat doesn’t have wi-fi and 4G data access. Source: Catster

  9. The sunshine of life

    Comment

    Friendship is precious, not only in the shade,
    but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent
    arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine.

    ~Thomas Jefferson 

  10. Kitty does not want to be on camera

    Comment

    Cat families usually play best in even numbers. Cats and kittens should be acquired in pairs whenever possible. A fifteen year old cat has probably spent ten years of its life sleeping. A frightened cat can run at speeds of up to 31 mph, slightly faster than a human sprinter. Source: AnimalLeague

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
