DALAI LAMA CONGRATULATES JOE BIDEN ON ELECTION

1/24/2021

 
This letter was posted on the Dalai Lama's website following this week's inauguration::

As someone deeply concerned with the ecological crisis our planet faces, I am so pleased that you are elevating the issue of climate change to your highest priority and that the United States is rejoining the Paris Climate Accord. Global warming is an urgent threat to the whole world and to the survival of our species.


May I also commend you for other measures you are taking towards the betterment of the United States of America. I have long been an admirer of your great country, the bastion of liberty, democracy, religious freedom and the rule of law. The whole world places its hope in the democratic vision and leadership of the United States. In these challenging times, I am confident that you will contribute to shaping a more peaceful world in which those suffering from hunger, disease and violence may find help. The need to address these issues is indeed pressing.


Once again, I take this opportunity to express our gratitude for your long-standing support for the Tibetan people. It has been our good fortune to have enjoyed the friendship and encouragement of the American people and their leaders in our endeavor to protect and preserve our ancient Buddhist culture, a culture of peace, non-violence and compassion.


I pray for your success in meeting the challenges that lie ahead in fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of all Americans and in contributing to a more peaceful and harmonious world.

Abandon wrongdoing. It can be done. If there were no likelihood, I would not ask you to do it.  But since it is possible and brings about blessings and happiness, I do ask of you to abandon wrongdoing.

Cultivate doing good. It can be done. If it brought deprivation and sorrow, I would not ask you to do it. But since it brings blessings and happiness, I do ask of you: cultivate doing good.

- Buddha

WHY SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL THEY'VE FAILED IN LIFE

1/21/2021

 
From Swami Sivananda: “The vast majority of persons, even the so-called educated people, have not definite aim in life. They waste their time and finish their life career in gloom, despair and sorrow. The intellect is there but they have not definite aim or purpose. They have no ideal, no clear cut program of life. Hence, their life becomes a failure.”

Emotional agitation creates a tendency to see what we want to see and not see what

In any matter we must

We need to change our idea of what aging is. If I know my biological potential is 130 years, then I don't consider myself middle-aged until I'm 65. One of the great principles of mind/body medicine is that expectancies determine outcome. If you expect to remain strong in old age, you will. - Deepak Chopra
