Not to hurt by deeds or words, self-control as taught in the Rules, moderation in food, the solitude of one’s room and one’s bed, and the practice of the highest consciousness; this is teaching of the Buddhas who are awake… ~ Buddha (The Dhammapada…chapter 14)
“Pure love is feeling the all-knowing field of divine presence within all expressions of life."
“There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.”
Today is first Shravan Somvar in southern parts of India and third Shravan Somvar in northern parts.
Shravan Somvar is very auspicious to worship Shiva.
Offering just one bilva patra today is enough to please Shiva and get his blessings.
Namah Shivaya 🌸🙏☘️ Har Har Mahadev 🔱
"If a person realises that they are precious, they will take great care to protect themselves."
The Udhānavarga (‘Buddha's inspiring words’) is an early Buddhist collection of topically organised chapters. Udhana means "utterance" and is said to be Buddha's spontaneous utterance as a result of his inspiration ("no-question-asked", meaning that he spoke on his own, even though he was not asked). Varga means 'gathering'.
'Peace is not an emotion that alternates with other emotions; it is what you essentially are, prior to and behind the content of experience. There is nothing you need do or cease doing to find this peace.'
The mind that seeks peace is like a character in a movie who travels the world in search of the screen; it is like a wave in search of water.
“The world rests as the lotus in the palm of my hand, the cosmos revolves around my finger like a discus. I blow the music of life through my conch and wield my mace to protect all creatures.”
