And forget not

You don't need much to live a happy life
And forget not that the earth delights
to feel your bare feet and the winds long
to play with your hair. ~Khalil Gibran

Only then does one feel…

Comment August 4, 2014

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

~Anne Frank
A more cheerful and positive way

Comment August 4, 2014

It is easy to dwell on the difficult and sad when times seem tough. However, thinking in a more cheerful and positive way can actually provide health benefits, including reduced risk of coronary heart disease, easier breathing for those with emphysema, and better coping skills.

“It’s unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. But one theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body.”

There are times we all feel…

Comment August 4, 2014

“How we perceive a situation and how we react to it is the basis of our stress. If you focus on the negative in any situation, you can expect high stress levels. However, if you try and see the good in the situation, your stress levels will greatly diminish.” ~Catherine Pulsifer

Yes, there are times we all feel a little stressed, but it is how your allow yourself to react which will measure your ability to overcome it. If you can find something positive to learn in any situation, you will be able to control your state of well-being. ~Beyond The Quote

Mother’s Love is peace…

Comment August 3, 2014

A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down
remorselessly all that stands in its path. ~Agatha Christie

Lotus Flower for my Friends

Happy Friendship Day to all my wonderful Friends
A seven-year-old girl took this photo of me at the Lotus pond, in the forest. And she told me to smile just like a happy fairy who gets so excited seeing beautiful lotus flowers at the pond… Since I am not a fairy, I had to smile just like Jendhamuni! She's the girl who decorated my hair with this silver head scarf. ~Jendhamuni

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

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.
