Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. ~Buddha
Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.
~Markus Zusak
Overcoming attachment does not mean becoming cold and indifferent.
On the contrary, it means learning to have relaxed control over our mind
through understanding the real causes of happiness and fulfillment,
and this enables us to enjoy life more and suffer less.
~Kathleen McDonald
You are the source
Of all purity and impurity.
No one purifies another.
~Buddha
In Buddhism, no one can take away your sin.
If you touch the fire, you will get burned.
If you study, you will do well on the exam.
If you kill someone, you will get arrested and go to jail.
Everyone is responsible for his/her own actions… ~Jendhamuni
A genuine smile comes from deep down in your soul. It is based on the pure joy, peace and happiness you have in your heart. If lost, the smile that replaces it is but a replication and will only last so long. Find your genuine smile, use it generously, and what you will receive in return for sharing it will be amazing. ~ Stephani McLellan

When you are down
And you want to get high,
Just take a good look
Up in the sky.
What you will see
Are the stars above,
And all you need
Is to proclaim your love.
Who you will find
And see so clear,
Are friends in mind
You want to hold near.
Whenever you need them
Just look up high,
Call their name
And see them fly.
Every friend you meet
Owns a star
And you can see them
No matter how far.
Whenever you are down
And want to get high,
Just take a good look
Up in the sky.

I don’t like to think. Only living my life one breath at a time. ~Jendhamuni
Only the development of compassion and understanding for others can bring us the tranquility and happiness we all seek. ~Dailai Lama
Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. ~Desmond Tutu
I’m a bit busy. Won’t have much time to visit friends on gplus during the next several days. Two of my relatives just passed a way this week. One in his 90s — he passed a way on Christmas eve. Another one is the father in law of my big sis — he passed a way in his sleep peacefully last night [on Christmas day] about 19 hours ago. His funeral service will be on the same day as my dad’s funeral service last year. Sorry for all the sad news from my end… ~Jendhamuni
