As far as love is concerned
Comment June 12, 2015You 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

Seeker of truth
Comment June 12, 2015The 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

No unkind word
Comment June 12, 2015There was never an occasion when the Buddha
flamed forth in anger, never an incident
when an unkind word escaped his lips.~Dr. S. Radhakrishnan

The faithful
Comment June 12, 2015Even 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

The virtuous
Comment June 12, 2015The 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

A cat is a lot smarter than an iPad
Comment June 12, 2015You 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

The sunshine of life
Comment June 12, 2015Friendship 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

Kitty does not want to be on camera
Comment June 12, 2015Cat 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

A heart without words
Comment June 11, 2015Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. ~Gandhi

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows
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
