THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - HEALING

9/30/2023

 
Sometimes the best way to heal from the toxicity of past relationships is to allow the beauty of new ones to flourish.  - Heidi Priebe

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - FRIENDS

9/29/2023

 
 Remember the importance of sangha (community). Surrounded by people who respect the Earth, we too will respect the Earth. Surrounded by people who are unhappy and unmotivated, we too will be unhappy and unmotivated. We need support if we are to live more simply, and by supporting others, we cultivate our generosity and compassion. - Justin Whitaker

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - CONTROL

9/28/2023

 
I have had no control over the most important losses that I’ve experienced.  The military coup, the divorce of my parents, my father’s abandonment of us, the death of my daughter. I could give you a  long list. The only thing I can control is how I react, so I just plunge into whatever comes and say yes to life. What’s the worst that can happen? It’s already happened to me. - Isabele Allende

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - HAPPINESS

9/27/2023

 
 We are addicted and brainwashed by the absurd belief that producing and consuming more leads to happier lives. We need to stop and reflect deeply on whether such a lifestyle truly leads to happiness. - Pomnyun Sunim

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - ALONE

9/26/2023

 
The Buddha left even his dearest friends behind and walked the path toward enlightenment alone in a forest, without haste. He ultimately discovered a way for all people in the world to become happy. - Pomnyun Sunim 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - VIOLENCE

9/25/2023

 
Those who, while seeking happiness, oppress with violence other beings who also desire happiness, will not attain happiness hereafter. - Buddha

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

9/24/2023

 
The Buddha is very rightly called the Compassionate One because he holds out hope for everybody. - Eknath Easwaran

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

9/23/2023

 
We somehow assume that our societies, communities, neighborhoods, and families are superior to those of the animal kingdom. But when we look at how much strife and conflict we have in our human culture, we might think twice about our sense of superiority. - Sarah C. Beasley

QUIT BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF

9/22/2023

 
Most people experience too much self-pressure.  Do more.  Be more.  Produce more.  Try reminding yourself that you’re a human, not a machine; that it’s perfectly fine to ease up on yourself and enjoy your life.  That can look like this:  sleep for 8 or 9 hours not 5 or 6.  Exercise for 1 hour rather than 2 or 3.  Study for 3 hours not all night long.  Read for 2 hours not 4 or 5.  Give yourself permission to do and enjoy things which bring you happiness and joy – yoga, meditation, walks, establish a new friendship, deepen an old one.   Repeat this mantra:  I am a human, not a machine. - Victor M. Parachin

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

9/22/2023

 
Buddhism teaches that we all live in a fog of illusions created by mistaken perceptions and “impurities” — hate, greed, ignorance. A buddha is one who is freed from the fog. - Barbara O’Brien
