1. I’m so in Love with Mother Nature…

    Comment

    Life is beautiful, when you learn how to forgive, forget and let go. Nothing is easy – takes a lot of practice. You just have to keep forgiving, forgetting, and let go. Soon your heart will know how to do that naturally, without trying. Why holding on to something that cannot produce a pure smile on your face. Why do we need to be so attached to that unpleasant feeling? I have learned to accept everything in front me – good or bad, happiness or suffering. I just acknowledge them, without reaction because I know none of those things are permanent. Happiness comes and goes, so does suffering. Why wasting time and energy over something that can only make us sad, lonely and depressed… ~Jendhamuni

  2. What Makes a Soul Beautiful

    Comment

    Materialistic items aren’t the main focus of life, they have so much importance in the modern world that it is difficult to realise how little these items mean.  We do not need to have everything to live a happy and fulfilling life.  Society is dictated through media advertisement giving false information on how to move forward as a society. God does not ask us to have these items of luxury. Living a more frugal existence doesn’t mean that you go without the basic needs; it just addresses the need for items that are unnecessary.

    Their inner qualities will shine through the mortal being of a person. The question of beauty will hold little or no meaning.  Yet making sure that you take care of yourself is not being vain; it is a way to ensure that you are able to give more, your own health is just as important.

    The growing of a soul comes from cultivation, learning that you are not only doing what you think to be true but believing from your inner most sanctums that you serve others and receive more from this work than from materialistic items.

  3. Speech is the mirror of the soul

    Comment

    Kind words do not cost much. They never blister
    the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured.
    They also produce their own image on men’s souls,
    and a beautiful image it is. ~ Blaise Pascal

  4. Worries of last night…

    Comment

    Leave the worries of last night to darkness
    and let the light of motivation and inspiring
    things take control of your mind and actions.
    Start a beautiful morning and end up with
    a successful and blessed day. ~Justin Mayer

  5. Beautiful picture in your Heart

    Comment

    We gotta look for the good in the bad, the happy in our sad,
    the gain in our pain, and what makes you grateful not hateful.

    ~Aurthor Unknown

  6. Pray silently…

    Comment

    Pray silently with simplicity every day to stay cool and calm in
    mind, composed and collected in heart; courageous and connected to own
    soul, to lay the way for a peaceful life.

    ~Written in 2013 by Anuj Somany

  7. Listening with calm and understanding

    Comment

    If we love someone, we should train in being able to listen.
    By listening with calm and understanding,
    we can ease the suffering of another person.

    ~Thich Nhat Hanh

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
