The mind has a chance to grow

January 5, 2013

Beautiful things come from things that are dirty, and not at all from things that are pleasant and clean. Crops and trees, for instance, grow to be healthy and beautiful because of the rotten and smelly compost and nightsoil with which they're fertilized. In the same way, a beautiful mind comes from meeting with things that aren't pleasant. When we meet with bad things, the mind has a chance to grow.

    It is amazing but plausible words that I read from you. I have looked at the extensive explanations of the site. At one stroke, I can not digest it. I wait until it affected by the mental exhaustion am. Creative people suffer including regularity. It can help me with the question of meaning. Until then, I'll take on your posts in me like water droplets, which are in the variety of the river. It is to have a blissful coincidence made ​​your acquaintance. The photo – Prayer for Peace – is for me the combination of grace, delicacy and power. The other photos that show you suppress your natural beauty.

    And so it turns out that the "bad and unpleasant" things really aren't unpleasant or bad at all.

    Our perception is that dirt is dirty, if this planet was made of soap and lavender life on earth wouldn't exist.

    True, my dear +Sofie Løve Forsberg Everything is connected, and has benefits in their own way. People just don't realize it, because they only love something that please their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, feeling…

Live & Die for Buddhism

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
