A good mind, a good heart, warm feelings - these are the most important things Dalai Lama

About Me

Ever changing..Experiences that stay in the memory and touch the heart.
"For the great spirit is everywhere. He hears whatever is in our minds and hears and it is not necessary to speak to Him in a loud voice" Black Elk. Oglala Lakota. INDIAN SPIRIT
"Every part of this soil is sacred...every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove...responds lovingly to our footsteps... Chief Seattle
"In our life there is a single color, as on an artists palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love'. Marc Chagall
"All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love." Leo Tolstoy
"Every religion of the world has similar ideals of love, the same goal of benefiting humanity through spiritual practice, and the same effect of making its followers into better human beings... Each, in its own way, teaches a path leading to a spiritual state that is peaceful, disciplined, ethical and wise" Dalai Lama.
'The nameless was the source of heaven and earth. It is mysterious and natural, and existed before heaven and earth. Motionless and fathomless, boundless infinite; It stands alone and never changes; It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted. It is the Mother of the Universe, from where all things have sprung. I don't know its name, so I call it Tao. Tao Te Ching.
In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. John 1:1-3
"The essence of Buddhism is kindness, compassion. This is the essence of every religion" Dalai Lama
