1. You must grow in patience

    Comment

    Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
    For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you.
    So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs,
    and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. ~Leonardo da Vinci

    Some are born in the womb; the wicked are born in hell; the devout go to heaven;

  3. Wisdom is not communicable

    Comment

    Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate
    always sounds foolish…. Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it,
    live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. ~Hermann Hesse

  4. Doer of good and evil-doer

    Comment

    It may be ill with the doer of good as long as the good ripens not.
    But when it does ripen, then the doer of good sees (the pleasant results of)
    his good deeds. It may be well with the evil-doer as long as the evil ripens not.
    But when it does ripen, then the evil-doer sees (the painful results of) his evil deeds.

    ~Buddha, The Dhammapada

  5. Just look and just listen

    Comment

    Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed.
    Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you.
    Let stillness direct your words and actions. ~Eckhart Tolle

  6. To a wise man

    Comment

    An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition.
    To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require
    a response with qualifications, with discrimination, with proportion. ~Horace Mann

  7. Nowhere in the world

    Comment

    Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean, nor by entering into mountain clefts,
    nowhere in the world is there a place where one may escape from the results
    of evil deeds.Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean, nor by entering into mountain clefts,
    nowhere in the world is there a place where one may will not be overcome by death.

    ~Buddha, The Dhammapada

    Cat Feeding Mistakes: Offering Too Little Water
    Clearly water is vital, for cats as well as people. Essential to life, water accounts for 60% to 70% of an adult cat’s body weight, say ASPCA experts. A serious water deficiency can have critical repercussions for pets, causing serious illness or death. Although wet foods can go far toward meeting your feline friend’s water needs, cats should also have several sources of fresh water available through the house, say the pros. “Pay attention to where the cat likes to be so that there’s water there,” Case suggests. “And be aware that some cats prefer running water; others can detect the taste of chlorine in tap water so you might want to buy bottled water for them.” Source: WebMD

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
