1. How Much You Care

    296

    People do not care how much you know
    until they know how much you care.

    ~John Maxwell

  2. Think of someone

    129

    Before you say an unkind word – Think of someone who can't speak. 

    Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat. 

    Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion. 

    Before you complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to Heaven. 

    Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet. 

    And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job…

    And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a Smile on your face and think: You're Alive and still around.

  3. Do not afraid to face criticism

    108

    We must learn how to handle negative comments on social media. Do not allow negative people to live in your head. Do not go to sleep with them. Go to sleep with the person you love instead. You need to show the negative people how to live your own life, by totally ignoring their comments; by letting them write on your posts freely, A-L-O-N-E. Responding to them is showing that you are participating in the ignorant world. If you cannot handle negative comments on social media, how are you going to fight the real battle in the real world, in your real life. It's a piece of cake to pretend to be an angel behind the computer screen, but it does not work like that in real life…Be tough! No one in this world will have time to criticize you every day, without your permission. You get hurt because you allow negative people to hurt you. And that is your own fault…~Jendhamuni

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
