According to Buddha
Before speaking, notice what motivates your words.
i’m leaving the table
i’m out of the game
i don’t know the people
in your picture frame

Compassion does not see the faults of others. It does not see the weaknesses of people. It makes no distinction between good and bad people. Compassion cannot draw a line between two countries, two faiths or two religions. Compassion has no ego; thus there is no fear, lust or passion. Compassion simply forgives and forgets. Compassion is like a passage. Everything passes through it. Nothing can stay there. Compassion is love expressed in all its fullness.
i just can’t go without
i could never drown
they wanna get my
they wanna get my
gold on the ceiling
i ain’t blind
just a matter of time
before you steal it
it’s alright

So often we mistake movement for meaning.
where our world falls to pièces
and the moonlight starts to hide
in a million little splinters
in the corners of our mind
you believe what you see;
all the things that you know;
but, oh, you, don’t know
the depth of my soul; the depth of my soul

Being grateful to our parents is the foundation of being a decent person. We exist because of our parents. Our mothers suffered a great deal during pregnancy and while giving birth, much like the earth having to endure much ordeal as plants grow out of the ground.
turn it up, turn it up
turn up your radio loud
don’t forget where you come from
it’s too soon to be proud
remember when
we… were… young
remember when
we… were… young

One hundred times a day,
I recall the spiritual support;
my congenial friend comes to mind.
The sketch of past lives becomes clearer;
mind yearning, my fondness increases.
“Separation” is the heart being ripped out.
Ah! It is like that. But there is no need to be sad.
Hold in your heart the oath of the mother dakinis.
May the sublime three jewels and guardians bless the congenial
friend so that our wishes may be fulfilled.

Everything inside and around us wants to reflect itself in us. We don’t have to go anywhere to obtain the truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves in the clear water of your heart.
we float on the river of time
hold steady, hold steady
the sea comes, calls the summer
forced out the cold
don’t follow the change of the tides
hold steady, hold steady

Compassion is not about kindness. Compassion is about awareness. Compassion in the general sense of kindness would be an expression of awareness, but one that might not necessarily be free from the stain of ego-grasping. Genuine compassion is egoless.

We really ought to have confidence in human beings. Although humans have damaged the environment, we must be confident that humans can also save the Earth. I hope people with the same vision can join together to raise the awareness of environmental protection and save the Earth.

Life is easy for the hu/man who is without shame, impudent as a crow, a vicious gossip, vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard for the hu/man who quietly undertakes the way of perfection, with purity, detachment and vigour. S/he sees light.
