1. Look Deeper Into People

    49

    Life has taught me that, sometimes, one must look deeper into people and see their true spirit, what drives them, and who they are, rather than just looking at the outside person. Many misjudgments have been made simply because one was too lazy, too blind, or did not care enough to find the truth or look into another’s heart. ~Michelle Williams

  2. Kindness always brings peace to soul & mind

    30

    Kindness is a precious jewel
    That one can give to another
    Kindness is a priceless gem
    That can help you in future.
    Kindness does not require money
    It requires true care
    And affection, love & knowledge
    Today which are very rare.
    Kindness always brings
    Peace to soul & mind
    No better way of salvation
    Other than kindness you would find.
    Kindness cannot be only shown
    By people adult and old
    Kindness can be shown by
    Any heart pure like gold.

    Poem title: Kindness

  3. Strength of a Man

    90

    The strength of the man isn’t in the width of his shoulders
    It’s in the width of his arms that circle you.

    The strength of the man isn’t in the deep tone of his voice
    It’s in the gentle words he whispers.
    .
    The strength of the man isn’t in how he is respected
    It’s in how he respects you.

    The strength of the man isn’t in how hard he hits
    It’s in how tender he touches.

    The strength of the man isn’t in how many women loves him
    It’s how he can be true to one woman in spite being loved by many.

    ~Written by Lil Island Gal

  4. Miracle of a single Flower

    56

    Nothing is sweeter than love,
    Nothing stronger,
    Nothing higher,
    Nothing wider,
    Nothing more pleasant,
    Nothing fuller or better
    in heaven or earth;
    for love is born of God.

    ~Written by Thomas à Kempis

  5. True Love is so Pure

    75

    When you love someone,
    you love the whole person,
    just as he or she is,
    and not as you would
    like them to be.

    ~Leo Tolstoy

  6. Give Yourself a Moment

    264

    When you called out a name;
    but there was no encouragement
    and nobody came.
    Simply light a candle…
    feel the comfort in its glow.
    Soon you’ll sense a ‘Presence’
    and your loneliness will go.
    Refresh yourself each day…
    within the candle’s ray.
    Use the ‘Light’ it sheds on you…
    to chase darkness away. Continue reading

  7. Real Friends

    A real friend would forgive
    If I did something wrong
    A real friend will lend a hand
    Whenever I’m not strong
    A real friend would listen
    If I tried to speak
    A real friend will accept
    Whether I am strong or weak
    A real friend would care
    If I ever fell ill
    A real friend will know
    How I really feel
    A real friend would always be there
    If I need them by my side
    A real friend will remember me
    Long after I have died
    A real friend would be forever
    If I even moved away
    A real friend will never truly leave
    In each other’s hearts we shall always stay

    ~Written by Angel Dunne

  8. Living with Love, Grace, and Gratitude

    45

    I’m thankful for the birds;
    I feel like they’re singing just for me
    when I get up in the morning…
    Saying, ‘Good morning. You made it’

    ~Johnny Cash

  9. Never Alone

    98

    I am never alone.
    I have you near
    I am never alone
    I have nothing to fear
    I am never alone
    You help me stand
    I cry oceans of tears
    you dry each and every one.
    you are my miracle
    you are my sun
    I am never alone
    I’ve reached out my hand
    We together are strong
    together we stand.

    ~written by Jennie Davis

  10. The true love

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
