Looking for peace



Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a moustache. You won't be able to find it. But when your hearty is read, it will come looking for you. - Ajahn Chah

Read Yourself


Read yourself, not books. Truth isn't outside, that's only memory, not wisdom. Memory without wisdom is like an empty thermos bottle - if you don't fill it, it's useless. -Ajahn Chah 

Make it Meaningful


"Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day". -Ajahn Chah

Dynamic and Significant


Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.
-H.H Dalai Lama

Today


Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life. -H.H Dalai Lama

Someone else's fault


When you think everything is someone else´s fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy. Pride leads to violence and evil. The truly good gaze upon everything with love and understanding. -H.H Dalai Lama
