I have been married for 8 years to one amazing individual. In some ways he is my opposite and in others he is just like me. We are both very strong and stubborn individuals. I am the fire dragon and and he is the metal dog....If you know something about Chinese Astrology you can figure it out. We have been blessed with one wounderful baby boy. Everyday my baby fills my heart with such deep love and compassion for all living things. Because of my child, I want to make this world a better place. Becoming a mother turned out to be the most important point in my life, as it forever changed the path I was on. ..If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. Buddah.
..THE CHANGE STARTS WITH YOU! Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. Leo Tolstoy
In every moment we have a chance to make a choice to bring light into the world. When we bless others with the gift of our positive energy, instead of letting circumstances affect us negatively, we bring a little peace to the world every day.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.~Rumi
Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself. Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov.
"You are here to serve others, to be a light for them, to participate in their lessons and to help heal humanity. You are also here to serve yourself, to heal your karma, to enable your soul's growth and reconnect to the Source. Your challenge is to find a balance between serving others and yourself so that you can accomplish the tasks that you established for yourself in this lifetime and even go beyond that. How you view your role in serving others is an important part of this process."
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless." ***Mother Teresa ***
"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation, continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... exactly where you are meant to be right now... And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of love." Caroline Adams
..An "awakening" is a moment of clarity in which a new insight or understanding is gained. With this new awareness the experience of life is seen differently, and new possibilities are opened. Changes in patterns of thought, emotions, and behavior occur. An awakening allows the possibility of growth to new levels of psychological and spiritual maturity. ARE YOU READY? How to awaken? Mindfulness is the key to a “spacious†practice of Buddhism. Buddhists know that love is a verb, not a noun. The way of a Buddha is simply to stay present, and to be love. The practice of Buddhism began 2,500 years ago. Only within the past century have Western cultures reached out to embrace Buddhist wisdom, whose essence is to awaken and to serve. Blocking one’s mortal path to awakened or enlightened service are egotism, greed and selfishness, each of which leads to endless and needless suffering.
FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS The Four Noble Truths represent the core of the teachings of the Buddha, and are as follows:The First Noble Truth Unsatisfactoriness and suffering exist and are universally experienced.The Second Noble Truth Desire and attachment are the causes of unsatisfactoriness and suffering.The Third Noble Truth There is an end to unsatisfactoriness and suffering.The Fourth Noble Truth The end can be attained by journeying on the Noble Eightfold Path.
The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism can help us move beyond earthly limitations and thereby reach Nirvana, a state of mind that is completely and permanently free of suffering.The good news is that the love light within us is eager to help light our path to enlightenment. With an awakened heart we can lovingly connect with and deeply appreciate what is — without seeking to change it, grasp it, or to push it away.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ~Buddha
It is not after we understand the truth that we attain enlightenment. To realize the truth is to live - to exist here and now. ~Shunryu Suzuki
“My religion is simple.My religion is kindness. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." ***The Dalai Lama***
Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him. Fyodor DostoevskyRussian novelist (1821 - 1881)
"Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us." Marianne Williamson
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold.If you have a greed for food, you'll be a loaf of bread.This is a subtle truth: whatever you love, you are.~Rumi
