1. A powerful and glorious thing

    Comment

    Having belief is a powerful and glorious thing; it makes us determined, braver and stronger. Sometimes the road may seem tough, long and rough, but that’s what the road to success looks like. You mustn’t use your belief to limit, disappoint and make yourself afraid and give up. Belief is not for making ourselves look or feel short, but it is for making ourselves look and feel taller even when we are not. See a way where there’s no way. So always remember this – Use your belief to reach for things, and not to give up on things.

  2. Our emotions…

    Comment

    Our happiness is governed by our emotions. And so is our grief.
    Our ability to understand the emotions and its impermanent nature
    and not let it have a deep root within us is a path to liberation,
    a path to a real happiness, a path to be at balance, at bliss…

    ~Written by Neil Nepal

  3. Me and Max, today…

    Comment

    Max is such a good boy, but always hungry.
    Well, he’s still a baby, not even one year old.

  4. In certain situations…

    Comment

    It is not necessary that tears must fall when you are sad and lips must smile
    when you are happy. Sometimes life catches us in certain situations
    when we smile in pain and cry with happiness.

    ~Written by Uday Uprety

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
