1. A heart without words

    Comment

    Prayer 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

    Ultimate truth of Love
    Love is what…
    Can be felt not told
    It can be given not sold
    It comes when you least expect it.

  4. Make your own wherever you are

    Comment

    Before you say I can’t, make sure you’ve tried.
    Before you let doubts stop you, confront them with facts.
    Before fear holds you back, go foward with faith.
    Before you go looking for happiness, make your own wherever you are.

  5. Friendship to be real

    Comment

    Friendship that insists upon agreement on all matters is not worth the name.
    Friendship to be real must ever sustain the weight of honest differences,
    however sharp they be. ~Gandhi

    Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. ~Kahlil Gibran

  6. Dog is having a good time with kitty

    Comment

    Although cats don’t store a lot of information in long-term memory, the people and places cats choose to bank in long-term storage can stay put for many years. Since the cerebral cortex is responsible for storing long-term memory, it could be argued that a cat’s more complex cerebral cortex may lead to better long-term memory. Kittens learn by watching their mothers hunt, eat, groom, and so on, and then repeating the behavior themselves until they get it right. Source: Catster

     

  7. Before starting the day

    Comment

    Some people may find it hard to start a day,
    But if you pray,
    the day seems extraordinary and is more than okay.
    Don’t forget to pray
    before starting the day.

    Comment

    “Get up and change your own life. Stop waiting for someone else
    to walk into your life, and change it for you.” ~Sonya Parker

    You may look in the mirror and feel like you are not as good but someone
    on this Earth is waiting for someone just like you to be their soul mate.
    All you have to do is have faith and believe. ~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
