1. Life is…

    Comment

    ‘Life is everything’
    when the person you love misses you in your absence…
    but ‘life is nothing’
    When the ones you love miss to understand
    your importance in your presence.

  2. See who’s thinking of you…

    Comment

    Look at the sun and you see time.
    Look in the heart and you see love.
    Look in the eyes and you see life.
    Look at your mobile and
    you’ll see who’s thinking of you.
    Gotta be me!

  3. Be thankful

    Comment

    When you are happy, be thankful and your happiness is greatly multiplied.
    When you are feeling down, be thankful and you’ll soon be feeling much better.  

    ~Ralph Marston

  4. Words…

    Comment

    Words have the power to both destroy and heal.
    When words are both true and kind,
    they can change our world.

    ~The Buddha

  5. Within the soul…

    Comment

    Peace does not dwell in outward things, but within the soul;
    we may preserve it in the midst of the bitterest pain,
    if our will remains firm and submissive. Peace in this life
    springs from acquiescence, not in an exemption from suffering.

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. β€” 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. β€” 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
