“Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life—not learning how to develop psychic powers,
not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love.”
~ Lama Surya Das~
"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."
"Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind."
By Buddha
"Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment,
we cannot be in touch with life."
"Training is needed in order to love properly; and to be able to give happiness and joy, you must practice
DEEP LOOKING directed toward the other person you love. Because if you do not understand this person, you cannot love properly.
Understanding is the essence of love.
If you cannot understand, you cannot love. That is the message of the Buddha. [True Love. A Practice for Awakening the Heart.]"
By Thich Nhat Hanh
“At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it. Letting go gives us freedom,
and freedom is the only condition
for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free."
~Thich Nhat Hanh~
