1. Smiling in Infectious

    32
    Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin, When he smiled I realized I’d passed it on to him. I thought about that smile then I realized it’s worth, A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don’t leave it undetected. Let’s start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!! KEEP THE SMILES GOING.

  2. The Wonders of Nature

    37
     As the day begins to end
    take your shoes off…
    roll up your jeans…
    feel the water…
    sit back…
    you are about to experience
    the wonders of nature….
    the radiance of color as the
    sun sets into the water…
    peaceful sounds in the air
    wash away the day….
    candlelight dinner…
    enhanced with music…
    honest conversation…
    each day is a gift wrapped
    in surprises….
    relish adventure of
    a perfect evening….

  3. Love is not liking somebody

    31

    Love is not liking somebody. Anyone can do that. Love is loving things that sometimes you don’t like. ~Ajahn Brahm

     

  4. Everyone says that Loves hurts — Not true

    67

    Everyone says that loves hurts, but that’s not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confuse these things with love but reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again. ~Unknown

  5. Love is something we cherish dearly

    44
    Love is something,
    we all cherish dearly.
    When we lose it,
    our hearts ache severely.
    Trust is something,
    we share with a few.
    It requires honesty,
    and a heart that is true.
    Love without trust,
    is foolishly blind.
    It’s easy to lose,
    and easy to find.
    Trust without love,
    is often quite fake.
    It won’t give much,
    but will happily take.
    Love and trust,
    go hand in hand.
    When together,
    this dance is quite grand.

  6. A Perfect Day

    105
    You’re as lovely as the flowers
    that are blooming
    in the spring.

    You’re as fresh as all their petals
    that’s been washed
    by gentle rain.

    You’re as bright as rays of sunshine
    that clears the
    rain away.

    You’re a part of everything it
    takes to make
    a perfect day.

    You’re still as lovely in the fall
    when snow is on
    the ground;

    Although the smell of spring is
    gone and flowers
    aren’t around.

    You still can brighten up my
    skies, when the heavens
    turned to grey;

    You’re a part of everything
    it takes to make
    a perfect day.

    You’re always with me in my
    heart, no matter
    where I go,

    And whether near or far
    apart I wanted
    you to know.

    The best way I can tell you,
    is to come right out
    and say,

    You’re a part of everything
    it takes to make
    a perfect day.

The fate of our country is in our hands. We must fight against this evil dictator….

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
