You must have Love and Patience

If you do not know how to take care of yourself, and the violence in you, then you will not be able to take care of others. You must have love and patience before you can truly listen to your partner or child. If you are irritated you cannot listen. You have to know how to breath mindfully, embrace your irritation and transform it. Offer ONLY understand and compassion to your partner or child – This is the true practice of love. ~Thích Nhất Hạnh

    We all have some type of violence in our lives it is the voice of our loved ones the voice of our children that put it to rest. How loud a soft voice truly is.

    Adding to what I was really trying to say, being able to really FORGIVE someone & yourself is the most difficult lesson of all when someone did so much harm, physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually! It happened to me many years ago, my heart was full of anger & bitterness, not because what the person did to me, but my whole family suffered. My brother almost died for one, throughout the years that person continued to cause pain. With constant prayer and meditation, I was able to forgive that person & myself for having anger, bitterness & had lived in misery.
    It was the MOST DIFFICULT LESSON I HAD TO LEARN! You see, forgiving someone who put you & your whole family through pain & suffering for many years, it wasn't easy, but as Jesus Christ said, "Love your enemies." I finally understood what that meant. Now I send that person LOVE whenever I pray. WHY? You all know about Karma, "What goes around comes around.", "You receive what you give." , these are all true. When you send love or hatred, if the person's higherself choose not to accept it (love or hatred), it comes right back to you. After all we have free will. So, when you send LOVE & the other person rejects it, love comes back to you, no harm done. You can do this to people who are miserable, bitter for they are the ones who need LOVE the most. Please try not to judge for we are all God's children, show compassion & kindness, smile when you see someone who seems unhappy and always lend a hand when someone needs help. After all that is the REASON why God put all of us here on earth for us to learn & help each other.
    May God and Christ Bless You All Friends, and Protect You from Evil! Have a great week.
    Blessings and Peace, Lucia

    To Lynn Kamo: Lynn, if you are reading this, please send me an email. I think I can help/explain to you WHY bad things happen to good people. My heart went out to you when I was reading about your daughter. I know exactly how you feel!
    I also lost someone who was very dear to me, I understand the guilt, longing & feeling/temptation to follow your daughter, but you cannot for you have other children & grandchildren. Just know that it was NOT your fault, Lynn, every one of us has a different destiny. She is with God now, try to get some comfort in knowing that. We can talk more. Please contact me.
    Look forward to hearing from you. Much love, Lucia

    If an argument goes on wd words from both sides
    An both r angry wd heated exchanges
    Thrr no solution
    It one gets himself cool an calm
    An replies to the argument
    After a while than it means
    It give time to other one to be in normal mind
    An a normal mind only can bring in solution
    When the house is in fire
    First douse the fire
    Hu y an when it happened this answers can be found in patience
    Empty vessels make more noise
    Vessels wd patience an love
    Give happiness of life to themselves an to others gd morning dear
    Have a nice day take care sos

    Naina ke gaand mein rahne wala badwa tu gaand se type karta hai aur Tera ugly heart bahut pehle shaitan ko de diya hai tabi tho tujhe mere dukh mein khushi milti hai mere ANSOO mein Tera sukh hai mere tardpne mein Tera chain hai like today hi dekh lo Mai ro rahi hu tu randi ke gaand se nikal ke words type kar raha hai. Mather choth apni maa ke chadi mein chhup kar type karta hai tu coward hijara

    September 23, 2013

    Unconditional love is not jealous selfish and a harami at heart it does not tell u to. Snatch away everything from the one u love
    Pehle unconditional ka meaning seekh kar a
    Then type your chuth se nikala hua lust and greed here . Unconditional love Lolz Lollz phut Le chuth before someone kicks your butt

  39. Anil Celly

    September 23, 2013

    Wanted to say that when love is present in the heart forgiveness automatically happens in fact forgiveness is not required because love works it out of mind. Remember love is in heart and forgiveness is in mind. When the heart rules then mind has no place. If you are deliberately working on forgiveness then the mind is working and when mind is at work there is no love and when love is not there then we have nothing to discuss about.

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.

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.
