~ Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. ~  ~ We often think of peace as the absence of war; that if the powerful countries would reduce their arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds - our prejudices, fears, and ignorance. Even if we transported all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the reasons for bombs would still be here, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we would make new bombs. Seek to become more aware of what causes anger and separation, and what overcomes them. Root out the violence in your life, and learn to live compassionately and mindfully ~ ~ May our heart's garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers. ~ ~ Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life. ~ ~ If you are motivated by loving kindness and compassion, there are many ways to bring happiness to others right now, starting with kind speech. ~ ~ But if we have the energy of compassion and loving kindness in us, the people around us will be influenced by our way of being and living. ~ ~ Meditation is not to escape from society, but to come back to ourselves and see what is going on. Once there is seeing, there must be acting.
With mindfulness, we know what to do and what not to do to help ~ ~ Water flows from high in the mountains
Water runs deep in the Earth
Miraculously, water comes to us,
And sustains all life. ~ ~ People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar. ~ ~ In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us ~ ~ Words and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance. ~ ~ People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar. ~ ~ If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work. ~ Most Popular Topics:
