This place is devoted to it. Perhaps someone will retell it in the future, and say "That's how incredible the Buddhists of the 21st century were!

Hi! The amazing story of the prophet Rael and his two encounters with humanities creators the Elohim should be posted in this group.
Another short story, ... Thoughts, ... that we should read smiling..
I have a relationship with the tomatoes that grow in my nearby garden. It is a good relationship filled with many happy memories. Others may have different kinds of relationships with tomatoes, isn’t that so? Some folks express a limited relationship by only eating them out of a can or in a restaurant, but others further relate to tomatoes by watering, weeding, picking and preserving them.
Like that, in our Buddhist or other spiritual practice, we don’t want a convoluted and...stylized process that tastes “canned”! We want our very important connection with higher being to be clear, simple, and straightforward. Our alignment should be direct with the Buddha, right? That is the function of Vajrayana practice, to actually meet the Buddha.

Here a short story of one of my FB friends ...
On retreat we create a nice balance between enough to do and enough quiet to gain some continuity of mental thought. Really is that too much to ask from our everyday life also? That we move through our day and feel in charge of our thoughts; is it too much to ask to move at a pace where we can really be in control of our life?
But no, the phone rings, and the computer has "needs"; while spam and email arrive on the phone. You are so connected to media and to communication; it’s jarring to be in daily life. Why do we do it? Because everybody else does it! And that’s a dumb reason.
~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~
Gratitude extends far and wide. It touches the heart of many. It makes us feel alive and happy. Everything shines like glitter when we are in a state of grace. Problems do not touch us. We become immune to the negativity of negative people, and can more easily understand their pain. Healthy self-confidence, putting no one down, not ourself nor others, comes naturally. It is as if the sun is always shining even when there are dark clouds. Concern for the welfare of others is front and center in our daily activities when we are in grace. All is well. The exquisite photo of HH Dalai Lama is likely from Shwag Ashram soon after escaping Tibet and being invited to stay in India.
