If my heart can become pure and simple like that of a child, I think there probably can be no greater happiness than this. ~ Kitaro Nishida
If your mind is happy then you are happy anywhere you go. When wisdom awakens within you, you will see Truth wherever you look. Truth is all there is. It’s like when you learned how to read, you can then read anywhere you go. ~Ajahn Chah
Things are simply the way they are. They don’t give us suffering. Like a thorn: Does a sharp thorn give us suffering? No. It’s simply a thorn. It doesn’t give suffering to anybody. If we step on it, we suffer immediately. Why do we suffer? Because we stepped on it. So the suffering comes from us. ~Ajahn Chah
Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher. ~Ajahn Chah
As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse. ~Buddha
No matter how high up you get, never forget where you came from. ~Beeru Singh
Speak well of others, not of their faults. ~Buddha
The greatest thing that will please God is that you maintain an attitude of unshakable joy. ~Swami Kriyananda
Avoid speaking negative things. If we concentrate on the bad side, we lose sight of the good. When we concentrate on the good. We take on goodness. ~Paramhansa Yogananda
Time has no beginning;
it has no end.
Throughout immeasurable eons,
violence and conflict have abounded,
and body and spirit deeply wounded.
May the time for healing begin now.
May universal peace be ours.
