on cherishing others


The source of all happiness is
to cherish others
more than I cherish myself.
The source of all suffering is to cherish myself

more than I cherish others.

love

what did one coconut say to another???




In the end these things matter most;
How well did you love? How fully did you love?
How deeply did you learn to let go?
– Buddha

Love what you do!!




Above is a picture from our kitchen....this is a Buddha.
"Buddha" means "Awakened One" - someone who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and sees things as they really are. A Buddha is a person who is completely free from all faults and mental obstructions. Every living being has the potential to become a Buddha.



Those who awaken never rest in one place.
Like swans, they rise and leave the lake.
On the air they rise and fly an invisible course.
Their food is knowledge.
They live on emptiness.
They have seen how to break free.
Who can follow them?
- Buddha.
