When all life is practice, there is no need to set aside a special time for training. Every moment is an opportunity for Dharma cultivation. - Tashi Nyima
Sympathy resides in our thoughts. Empathy inhabits our feelings and physical bodies. Compassion moves the heart to action. - Allyson Pimentel
There is no need to wish. Wishing is hope and fear. Act, don’t wish. Every action is inevitably followed by its consequence. Karma is true agency. - Tashi Nyima
There are times when the easy path costs more than we realize. Shying away from everything that is scary, challenging, or difficult results in a comfortable life. But it also leads to a life devoid of meaning, purpose, and accomplishment. - Sensei Alex Kakuyo
Possessing five factors, speech is well spoken, not badly spoken; it is blameless and beyond reproach by the wise. What five?
1. It is spoken at the proper time; 2. what is said is true; 3. it is spoken gently; 4. what is said is beneficial; 5. it is spoken with a mind of kindness. - Buddha If you want more love in your life, love more.
If you want more compassion, help more. If you want more power, serve more. If you want more wealth, give more. If you want more peace, make peace. If you want more joy, rejoice in the virtue and happiness of others. - Tashi Nyima You will get more strength, more joy, more satisfaction by doing kind acts. - Swami Sivananda
Be strong and persist. Persistence will make you a winner. - Swami Radha
In the Buddhist teachings, we call strong emotions like anger, attachment, jealousy, and arrogance “poisons.” They poison not just our own happiness but also our connections with loved ones, friends, coworkers, and our local community. - Anyen Rinpoche
We actually have the power to transform our own state of mind from resentment to peace and contentment. - Anyen Rinpoche
