I rented a horse – Hardy his name Hardy n me climbed moody in plain Mountains Rockies hell steep runny rain We met a bunny called Lucky her name Weather on mountains foggy in spring blossoming flowers leafing - Hardy yelling singing birds, running bunnies dancing mountain goats N horny butterflies yet storms unknown Storms and rains, sunny yet no sun nights like the morning n morning almost moon When it rain only god knows why yet it snow god neither explains why It snows even in the pretty Spring and pours non stop through summer as well Work hardy like me Hardy utters Lucky not reply Chaki’s matters!
There’s a Buddhist Story. One of Buddhist students approached him and asked, are you the Messiah? No – He replied. Well, are you a healer? No – He replied again. Well are you a teacher - No. Then the desperate student ask – Well, then what are you? Buddha replied – I am awake.
“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. First - rely on the teaching and the meaning of the teachings. Not on the words. Second – rely on the teaching. Not on the personality of the teacher. Third – Rely on the real wisdom, not superficial interpretation; And - fourth, Rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.”
“If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.”
“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"Neither fire nor wind, neither birth nor can death erase our good deeds. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. “
“There is no fire like greed, No crime like hatred, No sorrow like separation, No sickness like hunger of heart, And no joy like the joy of freedom. Health, contentment are your greatest possessions, and freedom your greatest joy. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, know the sweet joy of living in the way.”
“The thought manifests as the word; the word manifests as the deed; the deed develops into habit; and habit hardens into character. So watch the thoughts and its ways with care and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.”
“There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.”
“The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood. Word has the power to destroy and heal. If your word is true and kind, they can change our world. Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentments are forgotten. “
“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.”
“Better than a thousand hollow words Is one word that brings peace. Hatred is not seized through hatred at any time. Hatred seized to love. This is the eternal rule. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. What we think, we become. Fill your mind with compassion. “
“Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.”
“An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind !!!. “
“Avoid all haughty, conceited, proud, and arrogant minds, and remain peaceful and subdued. Generate compassion for all living beings and specially avoid despising and humiliating them. Do not be jealous of others good qualities. But Out of admiration adopt them to yourself. Do not look for the faults of others. But look for the faults of yours and purge them like bad blood. Since you cannot tame the mind of others until you have tamed your own, begin by taming your own mind.”
“No one save us but ourselves. No one can and No one may. We our self must walk the path. Abandon wrong doing. It can be done. If there are no likelihood I would not ask you to do it. But since is it possible, since it bring blessing and happiness, I do ask of you – abandon Wrong doing. Cultivate doing good. It can be done. If that bring deprivation and sorrow, I would not ask you to do it”
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. “
The last words of Buddha
“All conditions in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Try to accomplish your own salvation with diligence. Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
