Buddha Bless

 When the days become longer and there is more sunshine, the grass becomes fresh and, consequently, we feel very happy. On the other hand, in autumn, one leaf falls down and another leaf falls down. The beautiful plants become as if dead and we do not feel very happy. Why? I think it is because deep down our human natur...e likes construction, and does not like destruction. Naturally, every action which is destructive is against human nature. Constructiveness is the human way. Therefore, I think that in terms of basic human feeling, violence is not good. Non-violence is the only way.

- H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama

 

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.
Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind.
If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox.
Everything is based on mind, is ...led by mind, is fashioned by mind.
If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
 

- The Buddha

 

 

If we are not empty, we become a block of matter.
We cannot breathe, we cannot think.
To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out.
We cannot be alive if we are not empty.
Emptiness is impermanence, it is change.
...We should not complain about impermanence,
because without impermanence, nothing is possible.

- Thich Nhat Hanh
