About Me

Peace is not Just a state of mind. Peace is not Just an attitude. Peace is not a commodity that can be purchased for a piece of silver. Peace is a philosophy. It is the total understanding, and the total tolerance, and the total love of that which surrounds you. For if you can understand and appreciate that which is happening, without any resentment, even though you may not agree; if you can tolerate the actions of others, finding qualities in their sins, you will be close to peace. Peace is not the total abdication of the spirit towards any one situation. For even in a peaceful state it is healthy to question. It is also necessary to see the other side of the coin, and understand that if a situation is not suitable for you, your situation may not be suitable for another; yet either situation is suitable in its proper respect. Peace is loving that which is around you, not blindly or thoughtlessly, but with the full realization that it has value, that it is spiritually fit, that it is part of you and your world. I try to live my world as peacefully as posible. see I have been in hell for a long time, and just resently I found peace with my self my anger my addictions. I am free!! I wish this freedom on everyone who fights addiction

Myspace LayoutsOn life's journey Faith is nourishment, Virtuous deeds are a shelter, Wisdom is the light by day and Right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him; If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.BuddhaBelieve nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.Buddha2. Awareness Awareness is the path of immortality; thoughtlessness is the path of death. Those who are aware do not die. The thoughtless are as if dead already.The wise having clearly understood this, delight in awareness and find joy in the knowledge of the noble ones. These wise ones, meditative, persevering, always using strong effort, attain nirvana, the supreme peace and happiness.If a person is awake, aware, mindful, pure, considerate, self-restrained, and lives according to duty, that person's glory will increase. By awakening, by awareness, by restraint and control, the wise may make for oneself an island which no flood can overwhelm.Fools follow after vanity, are ignorant and careless. The wise keep awareness as their best treasure. Do not follow after vanity nor after sensual pleasure nor lust.Whoever meditates with awareness obtains great joy. When the wise conquer thoughtlessness by awareness, climbing the terraced heights of wisdom, free from sadness viewing the sad crowd below, they gaze upon the fools, like one on the mountain peak gazes upon those standing on the plain.Aware among the thoughtless, awake among the sleepy, the wise advances, like a racehorse leaves behind the slow. By awareness Indra rose to become chief of the gods. People praise awareness; thoughtlessness is always blamed.A mendicant who finds joy in awareness, who looks with fear on thoughtlessness, moves about like fire, burning all restrictions, small or large. A mendicant who finds joy in awareness, who looks with fear on thoughtlessness, cannot fall away, but is close to nirvana.
