Peace of Mind

104 July 9, 2014

Accept what cannot be changed. This saves a lot of time, energy and worries. Every day, we face numerous inconveniences, irritations and situations that are beyond our control. If we can change them, that's fine, but this is not always possible. We must learn to put up with such things and accept them cheerfully.

Don't take everything too personally. A certain degree of emotional and mental detachment is very helpful. On many occasions, it would be useful to inject a certain measure of detachment and non involvement. This would bring into your life more peace, harmony and common sense.

Don't dwell on the past. The past is not here any more, so why think about it? Let bygones be gone. Forget the past and focus on the present moment. There is no need to evoke unpleasant memories and immerse yourself in them.

LOVE…

Comment July 9, 2014

There are different kinds of love, and these are variously expressed
as motherly love, brotherly love, sensual love, emotional love, sexual love,
selfish love, selfless love, and universal love.

If people develop only their carnal or selfish love towards each other,
that type of love cannot last long. In a true love relationship, one should
not ask how much one can get, but how much one can give.

~By Ven. Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda
Live more deeply from our own truth

Comment July 9, 2014

When we begin to let go, it’s as if everything begins to break down. All our concepts and beliefs that we use to use to define ourselves by slowly begin to dissolve until they are no longer there. Our expectations fade and our awareness expands until reality becomes something very subjective and impermanent. We begin to realize that every individual is uniquely special and on their own path. Then, we are able to release the need to control other people, we are able to take responsibility for ourselves and begin to live more deeply from our own truth—knowing everyone we meet and every situation we encounter is, most likely, just another lesson in letting go.

Not only by our own experiences…

Comment July 9, 2014

We don’t live through life only by our own experiences,
we live through life with other people’s experience as a reference too.

Your past actions…

Comment July 9, 2014

People screw up. People screw up a lot. We allow our own selfishness to overpower us at times. It happens. But you can’t allow that to tear you down. You can’t keep dwelling on your past choices, and your past actions, or else you’ll never learn from them.

Cry of freedom: Elephant chained up for 50 years is rescued 'and WEEPS with relief
Tears: Raju visibly emotional as he is rescued
Raju the elephant was beaten, abused and forced to go hungry until animal charity workers rescued him last week.

For 50 years Raju the elephant was held in chains, beaten and abused – a pitiful site with his legs bleeding from spiked shackles and living on handouts from passing tourists, writes Sarah Arnold in the Sunday People.

He was so hungry he would eat plastic and paper to fill his empty stomach. Video and full story

Lotus Pond… again

Comment July 8, 2014

Playing with little children in the Lotus pond. The little girl asked me to play
with them in the pond, so I did. We had so much fun, and all our clothes got wet.

Jendhamuni in the Lotus pond.
The universe whispering…

Comment July 8, 2014

Within you rest’s the universal answer to every question
that you could ever ask yourself. It’s been said that prayer
is talking to God….meditation is listening. Can you hear
the universe whispering to you?

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.
