1. Wake up and smell the rose

    Comment

    Wake up and smell the roses, it’s a beautiful day. ~ Chloe Moretz
    Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.
    The most rewarding thing in life is the patience to wait for the right moment. 

    ~Anil Sinha 

  2. The essence of life

    Comment

    Stars are out and moon is hanging around and peeping through your window just to say ‘good night, sweet dreams’. This is what has always been the essence of life – disappointment comes before hope, hurt comes before love and dark comes before brightness to make us realize how important their presence is. ~Unknown

  3. Most healing force in the world

    Comment

    Love is the most healing force in the world; nothing goes deeper than love. It heals not only the body, not only the mind, but also the soul. If one can love then all one´s wounds disappear. Then one becomes whole – and to be whole is to be holy.

    Unless one is whole one is not holy. The physical health is a superficial phenomenon. It can happen through medicine, it can happen through science. But the innermost core of one´s being can be healed only through love. Those who know the secret of love know the greatest secret of life. Then there is no misery for them, no old age, no death. Of course the body will become old and the body will die, but love reveals to you the truth that you are not the body. You are pure consciousness, you have no birth, no death. And to live in that pure consciousness is to live in tune with life. Bliss is a by-product of living in tune with life. ~Osho

  4. The secret of Buddhism

    Comment

    The secret of Buddhism is to remove all ideas, all concepts,
    in order for the truth to have a chance to penetrate, to reveal itself.
    ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  5. Love is love

    Comment

    A mind that has come to the stillness of wisdom shall know being, shall know what it is to love. Love is neither personal nor impersonal. Love is love, not to be defined or described by the mind as exclusive or inclusive. Love is its own eternity; it is the real, the supreme, the immeasurable. ~Aldous Huxley

  6. Kitties climbing

    Comment

    A cat can’t climb head first down a tree because every claw on a cat’s paw points the same way. To get down from a tree, a cat must back down. A cat can jump up to five times its own height in a single bound. The technical term for a cat’s hairball is a “bezoar.” Source: Random Facts

  7. If you are a little silent…

    Comment

    Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost. Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about. ~Osho

  8. Parrot and dog love noodles

    Comment

    To survive, every bird must eat at least half its own weight in food each day. A bird’s heart beats 400 times per minute while they are resting. Larger parrots such as the macaws and cockatoos live more than 75 years. Source: Veterinary Pet Insurance

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
