1. What we do today matters most

    Comment

    We may have a bad day but there is something good in every day, and you do you know what’s that? It is waking up and still having the chance to live. Each good morning we are born again, what we do today is what matters most. ~Good morning quote

  2. We have stopped for a moment

    Comment

    We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will be worthwhile. ~ Deepak Chopra

     

     

  3. In life…

    Comment

    In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with. ~ Brian Tracy

  4. Renunciation mind is very simple in a way

    Comment

    Renunciation mind is very simple in a way: we have renunciation mind when we realise that all this is not a big deal. Somebody steps on your toe – what’s the big deal? The more we get used to this notion, the more we have renunciation mind. Renunciation somehow has this connotation of giving something up. But it is like the example of the mirage. You can’t give up the water because there is none; it is only a mirage. Moreover, you don’t have to give up a mirage, because what is the point of giving up a mirage? One need simply know that it is a mirage. Such understanding is a big renunciation. The moment you know that it is a mirage, most likely you will not even go there because you know it is fake. Or even if you do go, there is no disappointment because you already know what is there. At the very least you will only have a little disappointment. ~ Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

  5. Bright Moon

    Comment

    Someone who has acted carelessly,
    But later becomes careful and attentive,
    Is as beautiful as the bright moon emerging from the clouds.

  6. What more enlightenment do you want

    Comment

    nature

    When you don’t have obsession,
    When you don’t have hang-ups,
    when you don’t have inhibition,
    When you are not afraid,
    You will be breaking certain rules.
    When you are not afraid
    You will not fulfill somebody’s expectations.
    What more enlightenment do you want.

    That’s it. ~Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

    Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty – they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. ~Freshmorningquotes

  8. I bent the truth to be kind

    Comment

    “Kind deeds often come back to the givers in fairer shapes than they go.” ~Louisa M. Alcott

    Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true. ~Robert Brault

    The strong person is not the good wrestler. Rather, the strong person is the one who controls himself when he is angry. ― Anonymous

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
