1. Worries end…

    Comment

    Those who joyfully leave everything in God’s hand
    will eventually see God’s hand in everything.
    Worries end when faith begins. ~Nishan Panwar

  2. Bucket of Love…

    Comment

    Life has no rewinds and forwards. It unfolds itself at its own pace.
    So never miss a chance to live today to make a beautiful story
    for tomorrow.  ~desicomments

  3. Consciousness of the heart brings Love

    Comment

    Hatred paralyzes life, love releases it. Hatred confuses life, love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life, love illuminates it. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

    “Knowledge can bring many things…but the consciousness of the heart brings love, and love brings everything” ~Harold Clemp

    My mom took this photo of me today. I love the way she made the pumpkins glow beautifully!

  4. The gate of happiness

    Comment

    All good virtues and goodness itself will gradually find their true home in the heart in which love dwells. Love does not come to those who seek it, but to those who give love. It is a binding force between souls who have nothing to give but themselves to one another. ~Harold Clemp

  5. We have difficulty remembering

    Comment

    We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

    Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice… No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.

    ~Thich Nhat Hạnh

  6. Your signature…

    Comment

    Every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do,
    it bears your signature. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

  7. A surge of the Heart

    Comment

    For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look
    turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love,
    embracing both trial and joy.

    ~Thérèse de Lisieux

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
