About Me:

I have been lucky to have an interesting life that included sorrows and disappointments.  Today, I am happy and peaceful through my  Buddhist path.  My  aim is to be a better listener, and to give back to the community.   I am a brain injury survivor and appreciate every moment of my life. I love poetry and quotes.  Here is one  of my favourite quotes:

'Before you speak, ask yourself:
is it kind,  is it necessary,  is it true,
does it improve on the silence?”


“Shirdi Sai Baba - Indian Saint

=============================================================

I LOVE QUOTES - tiny gems of wisdom - here are several of my favourites:

Be here now.  Be someplace else later.
 Is that so complicated?”

Courage, my friends;
'tis not too late to build a better world.
~~~Tommy Douglas

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely
and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

~~~Ralph Waldo Emerson, (attributed)
US essayist & poet (1803 - 1882) 
===============================

“Fall seven times, stand up eight.”
~Japanese Proverb~

The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
~~Zen proverb

 were thought insane by those who could not hear the music.”

~~Freidrich Nietzsche

In your heart, you already know.”
               ~~Zen Proverb

“Live in peace and harmony with your neighbours and fellow-men.”
~~Sri Swami Sivananda
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
~Bible~

“Carrying a poppy, he passes through the quarrel.”
~~Issa 1825

“As I am, so are others;
as others are, so am I.”
Having thus identified self and others,
harm no one nor have them harmed.

METTA PRAYER:

May all beings be happy, content and fulfilled.
May all beings be healed and whole.
May all have whatever they need.
May all beings be protected from harm and freed from fear.
May all enjoy inner peace and ease.
May all be awakened, liberated, and free.
—————————————————————————————

With good will for the entire cosmos,
cultivate a limitless heart:
Above, below, & all around,
unobstructed, without hostility or hate.

~~~~Sutta Nipāta 1.150

You are your own master,
you make your future.
Therefore discipline yourself
as a horse-dealer trains a thoroughbred.

One of the secrets of a long and fruitful life is to forgive everybody
everything everynight before you go to bed.
