THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Give your time. Give your money.
Give encouragement. Give love.
Give abundantly. - Stephen Dela Cruz

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

5/30/2020

 
It’s possible to practice alone, as individuals.  But you might lose your practice after a few
months because you don’t have a sangha to guide you, to protect you, to support you. That’s why a good practitioner always tries to build a sangha in his town or village. Even a buddha needs a sangha.  -  Thich Nhat Hanh

A person who is not grateful is one who is poor at heart. - Hsing Yun


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

5/28/2020

 
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today. - Thich Nhat Hanh

There’s nothing wrong with acquisitions, but there’s something wrong with thinking they’ll bring you happiness. - Alan Wallace




'IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A GOOD DEATH?'  - BEST ANSWER

5/26/2020

 
"I think so. Dignity is key. Most people now die in a drug induced state, and in some cases, this interferes with dignity. In the past, a lot of people died in pain, but that wasn’t necessarily bad. A great example is Epicurus. He died in enormous pain, yet  he endured and died with tranquility. This was essential to his  teaching: do not fear death.  These days, the overwhelming issue is not dying in pain, not being a burden to anybody else. So. there’s a sense that you should drug people, pacify them. Yet there are people in the modern age who have done other things – Freud, for instance. He had twenty-seven operations for cancer of the mouth and refused to take painkillers because, he said, he’d rather think in pain than not think at all." 
- Simon Critchley. professor and chair of philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York

(from an interview with Andrea MIller and published in her book Awakening Heart)

We tend to believe that what we see about us is not only real but permanent. This is not true.  -  Richard Hittleman




THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

5/25/2020

 
One should not pry into the faults of others, what they've done and left undone. Consider instead what you yourself have done and left undone. - Dhammapada


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

5/24/2020

 
Persistence is a form of hope. - Hsing Yun


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

5/23/2020

 
People today do not want to have meritorious achievements. Instead, they become opportunists and try to rely on their good luck to achieve something without hard work.
- Hsing Yun
