1. If someone genuinely loves you

    43

    Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality. A shallow person will only have shallow relationships. If you want to experience real love, it is important to first sincerely develop a strong self-identity. True love is not about doing whatever the other person wants you to do or pretending you are something you're not. If someone genuinely loves you, they will not force you to do anything against your will nor embroil you in some dangerous activity.

    Distance is nothing when the love is real because you’ve to believe in yourself
    and all that you are. Know that there is a Love inside you and that

  4. Lingers forever…

    Comment

    When love is real, it defies all reason.
    When love is true, it ignores all pain.
    When love is great, it waits, it persists
    and it lingers forever. ~Unknown

  5. There is no fear…

    Comment

    There is no fear in Love, if the love is real it overshadows all fears and Concern. Love is not what you can receive it’s all about what you can give. ~Unknown

  6. Not from what you perceive…

    Comment

    Befriend yourself. Your self-worth should come from within, not from
    what you perceive that others think of you. Attachment to others gets
    unhealthy when you’re continuing to be around people who are toxic for
    you just because you’re afraid of being alone or left out. By
    befriending yourself, you won’t fear the times of being alone as much,
    and you will also open up to being available to a wider group of people
    rather than attaching to merely a few. And strive to maintain healthy
    relationships with the people you do interact with daily, giving one
    another breathing space and not expecting too much of others. Source:

  7. Learn to let go of an attachment to feelings

    Comment

    Feelings are powerful but if we let them control us, we are imprisoned by wayward masters. Accept that sometimes we will feel pain and loss, but we can choose to suffer endlessly or to learn and move on. Feelings are better out than in, so expressing them will help you deal with them more productively than bottling them up inside. Write in a journal, write poems, leave anonymous blog posts, write a letter and burn it, or talk to your invisible or even best trusted friend. Find outlets for your feelings so that they don’t serve as unhealthy attachments. Source: wikiHow   Link to Google+

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
