Message from Plum Village Monastery-Thich Nhat Hanh

Listening with compassion can help the other person to suffer less. Yet, even if you have the best intentions, you cannot listen deeply unless you train yourself in the art of compassionate listening. Listen with one purpose: to allow the other person to express himself or herself and find relief from his suffering. Keep compassion alive during the whole time of listening.

Namaste... I honor the spirit in you, which is also in me.

I accept your humanness and mine. And I also bow to the divinity in each of us. I accept our absolute spiritual equality as beings. And I also accept that we each forget who we are.

I celebrate the fact that we are waking up together, and I appreciate the fact that as each of us pushes up against our fear, we nod off to sleep.

Tree by Carl Watts

Tree

Towering in the sky
Looking down over me
A lone majestic tree
Growing near the sea

Some people ask why
Life on earth we share
The trees produce air
We cut them down everywhere

All under the big blue sky
Life gets along well with life
Man can’t seem to cause but strife
No good reason for man to take a life

But sometimes we forget why
We forget what keeps us alive
Life keeps us alive.
Man should help man survive.

We’re in this together
Man against the sun at noon
Man against the chill under the moon
Man always needs man’s help soon

Dear friends,

Happiness is Decision

Be the Change You Wish to See

You would like people to be kinder? Than be as kind as you can, as often a you can to others. You would like people to be more compassionate and understanding? Than be as compassionate and understanding as often as you can to others. You would like people to live with integrity and honor? Than live your life with integrity and honor always. You would like to see people make these changes because if everyone did, what an even more marvelous place this would be.

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE !!!

Forum on Faith: Planting seeds of peace fixes brokenness in the world

A Letter from a 16 year old Oslo Survivor

Dear Anders Behring Breivik,

A lot of the friends I met at Utoya are dead and you are the perpetrator. You are the man who, by coincidence, didn’t kill me. I was lucky.

You might think that you have won. You might think that you have ruined something for the Labour Party and for people around the world who stand for a multicultural society by killing my friends and fellow party members.

Know that you have failed.

Traveling Through Life as an Energetic Ambassador

"We can leave footprints of light everywhere we go for someone else to experience." Debra Reble

Whether we travel abroad or down the street, we can move through life as an energetic ambassador emitting light and love wherever we go and with whomever we meet. We have this opportunity in every moment not only to bless the space but to also “be the blessing”-to be the positive, emanating and clear presence of light.

Serving Humanity by S. Marie Vernon

Humanity needs everyone’s help. The best way to give that help starts with loving ourselves and taking care of ourselves in deeply loving ways. In truly loving ourselves, we get to know who we are and what we need by, listening to our bodies, listening to our minds and listening to our spirits and then honoring what we feel, hear, and sense about each of those needs.
