1. There is a light in this world

    104

    There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways. ~Mother Teresa
  2. A state of Love — Every movement

    174

    The Buddha's teachings on love are clear. It is possible to live twenty-four hours a day in a state of love. Every movement, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
  3. Hungry for Love

    204

    Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you. Will you be that one to Him? ~Mother Teresa
  4. Prayer is not asking

    115

    Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts. ~Mother Teresa
  5. How much love did you put into what you did?

    16

    I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did? ~Mother Teresa
  6. True Family

    55

    The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. ~Richard Bach
  7. Do not let go your Kindness

    169
    No matter how badly people treat you, don’t give up. Do not let go your kindness and compassion. Keep smiling, keep walking, till you reach your destination. In my life, I have met all kinds of people, but I never regret when looking back. I become who I am today because of them. So-called enemies are the food for a spiritual practitioner. You will never know how well you do or how strong you are without them. Till today, the fools continue to kick me, slap me, poke me, pinch me, punch me, but it’s okay by me. They can treat me like this for as long as they want. My ultimate goal in life to to help others, so I will never give up this  goal. I will never let go my kindness, my smile, because the wise has never criticized me…~Jendhamuni
  8. A brighter world

    57

    It is important for people to know that no matter what lies in their past, they can overcome the dark side and press on the a brighter world. ~Dave Pelzer

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
