1. When things aren’t going right…

    Comment

    Some things are not meant to be kept forever… You know you have to stop  and let go when things aren’t going right, and everything you do is unappreciated. Remember what batman said? ‘it is wiser to be alone but happy… than with somebody who does nothing while you’re doing everything’ … ~Noemie

  2. Seek for silence

    Comment

    When things get awfully tiring, seek for silence, most of the time the loudest lessons are learned at the most quiet corners of our hearts. ~Kuya Rene

  3. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness

    Comment

    Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on the pain in through resentment… Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go. ~Mam Julie

  4. Some lessons…

    Comment

    Some lessons are best learned through pain. Sometimes, our visions clear only after our eyes are washed with tears. Sometimes, we have to be broken so we can be whole again. Remember: If God made the day to be perfect, He wouldn’t have invented tomorrow. ~Kirvy

  5. If you learn something…

    Comment

    If you learn something that changes you, you’ve made progress. If you learn something that changes others, you’ve helped change the world. ~Lanie

  6. Don’t think of saying any unkind word

    Comment

    Today… don’t think of saying any unkind word. Think of the people who can’t speak. Don’t complain about the food you eat, some have nothing. Don’t complain about life, many die young. When you’re tired of your job, think of the jobless, the disabled and those who wish they had yours. When sad thoughts seem to put you down, paint a smile on your face that you’re still around. Life is a gift. Live it well. ~Mam Cell

     

  7. Have a long walk with someone

    Comment

    Life is full of uncertainties; we’ll never know when our time on earth is up until it’s over. So take many pics, laugh much… Take time to look up at the stars. Have a long walk with someone…Feel the cold wind… Smile a lot and love like you’ve never been hurt. Every 60 seconds you miss is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back. ~Terry

     

     

  8. Difference between apple cider and apple juice

    Comment

    There are a few states that do spell out a distinct difference between apple cider and juice. For example, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources specifies that “Fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not undergone a filtration process to remove coarse particles of pulp or sediment …. Apple juice is juice that has been filtered to remove solids and pasteurized so that it will stay fresh longer.”

    Cider from these states is probably what most of us picture: an opaque, highly perishable apple drink available at farm stands and markets in the fall. It’s juice, but unfiltered and sometimes unpasteurized. In unpasteurized apple cider, naturally occurring yeasts can cause fermentation, making the drink slightly fizzy and alcoholic over time. Apple juice in these states, on the other hand, is much more clear and pasteurized.  Source: The Kitchn | Link source

     

     

  9. The benefits of vegetable soup

    Comment

    Eating healthy vegetable soup provides you with an additional benefit from a weight coupled with fluid retention perspective; soups which have a foundation of leeks, onions together with celery are generally significantly rich in the mineral potassium. Since potassium helps to bind excess sodium, it will help to rid the body of surplus fluid. As many of us carry fluid and so frequently feel bloated due to a high-salt diet as well as insufficient activity, lowering as little as 500g of body weight after a few vegetable soups, although it really is only just fluid often makes us feel lighter and leaner instantly. Vegetable soups are effective due to their stimulating and health qualities, nevertheless soups generally speaking are excellent simply because they help restore the essential water balance, which often will help keep our blood pressure and salt content under control.

  10. Another beautiful day

    Comment

    I’m thankful for waking up to another beautiful day. If you’re living and breathing, then there’s nothing to be depressed about. I will sleep deeply and wake up full of energy. Life is not lived in the past, neither is it lived wandering in future. Life is for today, and it is today. ~Unknown

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
