Three things, O disciples, shine before the world and cannot be hidden. What are the three? The moon, O disciples, illumines the world and cannot be hidden; the sun, O disciples, illumines the world and cannot be hidden; and the truth proclaimed by the Tathagata illumines the world and cannot be hidden. These three things, O disciples, illumine the world and cannot be hidden. There is no secrecy about them.
it’s a sunny day
it’s so bright, so bright, so bright it’s a sunny day
Mindfulness is not just a word or a discourse by the Buddha, but a meaningful state of mind. It means we have to be here now, in this very moment, and we have to know what is happening internally and externally. It means being alert to our motives and learning to change unwholesome thoughts and emotions into wholesome ones. Mindfulness is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering.
All the wonders of life are already here. They’re calling you. If you can listen to them, you will be able to stop running. What you need, what we all need, is silence. Stop the noise in your mind in order for the wondrous sounds of life to be heard. Then you can begin to live your life authentically and deeply.
when it’s not always raining there’ll be days like this when there’s no one complaining there’ll be days like this when everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
when everyone is up front and they’re not playing tricks, yeah when you don’t have no freeloaders, out to get their kicks, yeah when it’s nobody’s business, the way that you want to live i just have to remember, there’ll be days like this
Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth. Real devotion is rooted in an awed and reverent gratitude, but one that is lucid, grounded, and intelligent.
if you need happiness we can let it come around sometimes happier than i think i am the happy woman cries
There are times of flourishing and abundance, when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding. And there are times of fruition, when things come to an end. They have reached their climax and must be harvested before they begin to fade.
there is a lonesome old buffalo roaming on the plains all alone he does not have anybody he doesn’t even have a home he stands quiet in the morning star his shaggy head is hanging low oh but his dreams fly high as the sky alright
Profound and tranquil, free from complexity, Uncompounded luminous clarity, Beyond the mind of conceptual ideas; This is the depth of the mind of the Victorious Ones. In this there is not a thing to be removed, Nor anything that needs to be added. It is merely the immaculate Looking naturally at itself.
When was the last time you looked up and marvelled at a starry night? Do you see the myriad colours and shapes in all you see? Do you stop and smell the scent of the roses? Do you taste the rich flavours of every meal? Do you feel and enjoy the hot shower at the end of a hard day’s work? And perhaps more importantly, are you mindful of your mind, of your thoughts and feelings? Without mental mindfulness, there is no mindfulness of the senses.
there’s a mad dog pulling at his chain a hint of danger in his eye alarm bells raging round his brain and the chimney’s broken in the sky
