‘Live in joy,

In love,

Even among those who hate.

Live in joy,

In health,

Even among the afflicted.

Live in joy,

In peace,

Even among the troubled.

Look within.

Be still.

Free from fear and…

When I heard the sound of the bell ringing,

there was no bell,

and there was no I -

there was only the ringing.

Once you stop clinging and let things be,

you’ll be free, even of birth and death.

You’ll transform everything…

And you’ll be at peace wherever you are.

Even as fire finds…

my friend put up this post on facebook and i thought it a good one to post here..

'been thinking that it is so easy to lose faith in the midst of all these truly terrifying and horrific events happening around the world. But its only through an extraordinary act of cosmic chance, so unfathomably unlikely its impossible to articulate, over the course of more than 14000000000 years, that we have even this opportunity to be alive, here, today. It is my…

I want to give thanks to the divine

Labyrinth of causes and effects

For the diversity of beings

That form this singular universe,

For Reason, that will never give up its dream

Of a map of the labyrinth,

For Helen’s face and the perseverance of Ulysses,

For love,…

WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY AND HOLY CHRISTMAS, AND MAY THE INFANT JESUS SHOWER HIS BLESSINGS ON YOU THIS CHRISTMAS, AND THROUGHOUT THE NEW YEAR.

GBU.

DAMIEN.

May all beings be filled with joy and peace.

May all beings everywhere,

The strong and the weak,

The great and the small,

The mean and the powerful,

The short and the long,

the subtle and the gross:

May all beings everywhere,

Seen and unseen,

Dwelling far off or nearby,

Being or waiting to…

warmongers often say that we must go to war to achieve peace. this is not true. if we practise war it will bring more war and if we practise peace it will bring more peace. so the question is 'what is peace.' we all know what is war but what is peace?

Peace is a constant feeling that is to be found and discovered in the heart of all human beings.

To bring the light of peace into our lives means all darkness  is chased out automatically.

That is why you must read, that is why…

"The way of life is towards fulfillment, however, wherever it may lead. To restore a human being to the current of life means not only to impart self-confidence but also an abiding faith in the processes of life. A man who has confidence in himself must have confidence in others, confidence in the fitness and Tightness of the universe. When a man is…

"The mother tongue, spoken or written, expects an answer. It is conversation, a word the root means, ‘turning together.’ The mother tongue is not mere communication but relation. It connects. It goes two ways, many ways, an exchange, a network. Its power is not in dividing but in…

I have no name,

I am as the fresh breeze of the mountains.

I have no shelter;

I am as the wandering waters.

I have no sanctuary, like the dark gods;

Nor am I in the shadow of deep temples.

I have no sacred books;

Nor am I well-seasoned in tradition.

I am not in the incense

Mounting on the high altars,…

It is so tender here where you are now… unlike how you thought it would be. Feel it all. Stay embodied to the longing, to the emptiness, and to the rawness as it makes its way into your awareness. Everything is valid here. Nothing need be discarded or set aside. There are no obstacles in this environment. No matter where you look, there is only…

"Do you know what it means to come into contact with death, to die without argument? Because death, when it comes, does not argue with you. To meet it, you have to die every day to everything: to your agony, to your loneliness, to the relationship you cling to; you have to die to your thought, to die to your habit, to die to your wife so that you can look at…
