The negative

People deal too much with the negative,
with what is wrong…
Why not try and see positive things,
to just touch those things and make them bloom?

    SOS – I don't think people want to focus on the negative, but sometimes (many times) the negative really hurts us. People across the globe live in physical pain from many illnesses. People across the globe suffer under ruthless dictatorships. People across the globe suffer from persecution and oppression. How can they not complain and object to such things? The Buddha said all we can do is practice compassion and chant our sacred mantras for the liberation of all living beings from "dukka", or material suffering.

    To archive —  NICE  — one has to work harder I guess. 
    Oh by the way…,growing a garden  and showing good results is backbreaking hard. Archiving that with people is even more difficult.
    I am sure you know this well.
    I love that flower,good gardener.

    Um pessimista freqüentemente pergunta: "Você acha que vai isso vai dar certo?"
    Ou: "Será que vamos conseguir?"
    A tendência dessa pessoa é colocar empecilhos e ver dificuldades em tudo,
    demonstrando assim incapacidade para enxergar o sobrenatural e visualizar as vitórias que você pode alcançar com sua fé.
    Pessoas negativas procuram sempre matar os sonhos de outros.
    Não conseguem mover sequer um grão de mostarda, por isso jamais moverão montanhas.
    A fé muitas vezes compartilhada gera dúvidas, e a dúvida não materializa a fé.
    Isto é, você pode compartilhar seus sonhos e projetos com pessoas negativistas
    que, em vez de apóia-lo, podem minar os seus sonhos.

    My dear +Osvaldo de Aguiar Great words from you.
    Sometimes it's very difficult, but we must try our best,
    not to let others, especially the negative ones kill our dreams.

    Yes, Jenghamuni, I retired very early,but before I had literally no time for family or my self.
    Remember, I still look after my farm and animals…,what is very different, to what I made my living with.
    I studied business management and accountancy.

    It's like in the daily breaking news in TV +Jendhamuni Sos … only the negative messages are interesting the people…
    A very wise, inspiring quote… Your flower wants to break out of the prison! – maybe to find the positive outside  🙂

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.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
