Life Changing ☯ Lessons ☮ from Buddha

Life Changing Lessons

To Learn from Buddha

Thoughts and Words have Power.

They can either Hurt or Heal.

Choose Wisely.

“Words have the power to both destroy and heal. 

When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.”

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. 

The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

“Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.”

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”

“All wrong-doing arises because of mind. 

If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?” 

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. 

When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”

“He is able who thinks he is able.”

There is an Abundance for All.

Happiness never decreases by being Shared.

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being Shared.”

Let Go of Fear.

“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. 
Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. 
Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.”

The Truth will Always be Revealed.

Always believe your own Truth.

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, and the Truth.”

“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.”

You, Yourself, deserves your Love and Affection

Self Love is the most Deserving Love

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

We are all Spiritual Beings

In need of a Spiritual Life

That Nourishes the Soul

• “Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.”
• “The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.”
• “To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others.”
• “The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.”

True Peace Comes from Within.

Peace is the Answer.

• “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”
• “Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.”
• “Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.”

Choose Friends Wisely

“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.”

“A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.”

Remove Separation and give up Labels.

We are All ONE

“In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.”

“Unity can only be manifested by the Binary. Unity itself and the idea of Unity are already two.”

“He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.”

Happiness is the Journey

Not the Destination

Enjoy the Journey

• “There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.”
• “A jug fills drop by drop.”
• “It is better to travel well than to arrive.”

Health is Wealth!

• “Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.”
• “To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
• “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.”

Replace Hate or Jealousy 
With Love and Admiration

“Do not be jealous of others' good qualities, but out of admiration adopt them yourself.” 

 – Buddha

“Hatred does not cease by hatred, 
but only by love; 
this is the eternal rule.”  
– Buddha

Today, I Choose Awareness

Today,
I Choose Awareness.

I choose to be aware of the beauty of life and living.
I choose to be aware of the simple truths in life.
I choose to be aware of the simple pleasures in life.
I choose awareness of  Joy.
I choose awareness of  Peace.
I choose awareness of  Love.
I choose to see, to feel, to know, the presence of divine energy in myself and those around me.

Today, I choose to be aware and to embrace all that is good, noble, and divine.

As my awareness of Joy, Peace, Love, and Goodness grows in my consciousness, 

Joy, Peace, Love, and Goodness become the reality in which I live.

For this I am so grateful!

And So It Is!

If an Egg 🐓 is broken by...

If an Egg is Broken by an Outside Force,
Life Ends.

If an Egg is Broken by an Inside Force,
Life Begins.

Great Things Always Begin From the Inside.

Limericks Poem: "Summer Romance"

Summer romance under the burning sun

Long embraces, with hot kisses, the summer fun

Waking up, 'twas just a dream

of you that I wanted to scream

Summer romance, it burns; I now must shun!

Never Meditated? 🧘‍♂️ Try This

Never Meditated?

Try This...

Here are a few techniques to introduce yourself to mindfulness.

For a First Taste of Meditation, 

Just Start Paying Attention

By Zoë Schlanger On 8/5/15

Meditation may calm your mind, make you grow more brain and slow the cognitive decline that comes with aging. But what if you don't have time to take a 10-day meditation retreat? Here are a few techniques to introduce yourself to mindfulness.

If you are reading this while sitting on the train or at your desk, direct your attention to your feet. Can you feel each toe and where it makes contact with the ground? What about the soles of your feet? Next, do the same with your hands: Notice how each finger feels on whatever surface they are resting. Go through them mentally one by one, pausing for a few seconds at each. Then try to feel them all at once. How does the air feel as it touches the skin on your hands?

Get interested in your Breath.

Close your eyes in a quiet place and spend three continuous minutes focusing on your breath. 

Breathe normally through your nose. Which nostril is the air passing in and out of? (Fun fact: For most people, breath typically passes through only one nostril at any given time.) How does it feel? As you focus on your breathing, try to calm down your thoughts. If a thought comes up, try to put it aside and refocus on noticing the pace of your breath and how it feels.

Wake up your Body.

When you wake up in the morning, before you get out of bed, spend a few minutes awake with your eyes closed. 

Direct your attention to each arm, then each leg and so on, focusing on how each section of your body feels. Can you feel where the blanket comes in contact with your skin? Does the foot outside the blanket feel cooler than the foot that’s inside? Do they feel heavy? 

If some part of your body feels unpleasant, notice that too, but try not to let it bother you for a minute or two: Just acknowledge discomfort without feeling upset by it. Spread your attention over your body, in sections, pausing for a second or two to notice how each section feels. It’s a great way to wake up and readjust to daytime life.

Don’t worry about getting Distracted

Just try again.

If you get frustrated—maybe your mind won’t stop wandering, or you keep opening your eyes—notice your frustration but don’t get too wrapped up in it. Direct your attention back to your breath passing in and out of your nostrils, and start again. Meditation isn’t easy, and your experience with it can vary from day to day. Why get upset? Just begin again.

Find a Group to Learn from.

Find a meditation circle in your town or city. If you live in a big urban hub, there’s bound to be many groups out there, practicing several styles of meditation. Some may even work with a different technique each session. Most if not all will be free. It’s a great way to get the support you need to learn to meditate properly.
