CITATIONS : Thich Nhat Hanh. En me réveillant, ce matin, je souris.
Vingt-quatre heures toutes neuves se tiennent devant moi. Vivre en pleine conscience, ralentir son pas et goûter chaque seconde et chaque respiration, cela suffit. Méditer c’est regarder profondément dans le cœur des chose. Si vous ne pouvez pas être compatissant envers vous-même, vous ne pourrez pas l'être envers les autres. La vie n’est pas un endroit particulier ou une destination – la vie est un chemin. Notre joie ne peut survivre sans nourriture, notre tristesse non plus, notre désespoir non plus, rien ne peut survivre sans nourriture. Que j'apprenne à me nourrir de Joie chaque jour. Les notions que nous avons du bonheur sont un piège. Lorsque les flammes de la colère s'embrasent, nous avons tendance à nous prendre à ceux qui ont arrosé nos graines de colère. Si vous ne pouvez pas accepter les autres, c'est parce que vous ne vous acceptez pas vous-même. Le véritable amour apporte toujours de la joie, à soi-même et à la personne aimée.

MYSTICMAMMA.COM : consciousness, spirituality, wisdom, inspiration. Thich Nhat Hanh: The 4 Aspects of True Love. Republished from reading.buddhistdoor.com By Thich Nhat Hanh HAPPINESS IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH TRUE LOVE.
True love has the power to heal and transform the situation around us and bring a deep meaning to our lives. There are people who understand the nature of true love and how to generate and nurture it. The teachings on love given by the Buddha are clear, scientific, and applicable. Every one of us can benefit from these teachings. During the lifetime of the Buddha, those of the Brahmanic faith prayed that after death they would go to Heaven to dwell eternally with Brahma, the universal God. The Buddha respected people’s desire to practice their own faith, so he answered the Brahman’s question in a way that encouraged him to do so. According to Nagarjuna, the second-century Buddhist philosopher: Practicing the Immeasurable Mind of Love extinguishes anger in the hearts of living beings.
The first aspect of true love is maitri, the intention and capacity to offer joy and happiness. Spiritueller Aktivismus. By Christoph on 26.
Oktober 2012 Bedingungslos akzeptieren Wir kommen alle manchmal in die Lage, dass wir einer anderen Person gegenüber Widerstand empfinden und sie ablehnen. Wenn wir in den Abendnachrichten die Welt betrachten, würden wir am liebsten einen Kampf gegen all das aufnehmen, was uns missfällt. Aber wir vergessen, dass wenn wir uns dazu entschließen, etwas oder jemandem gegenüber gedanklichen oder physischen Widerstand zu leisten, wir nur das Objekt unseres Widerstandes verstärken, sei es in Wirklichkeit oder in Gedanken.
The Beauty of Nothing: Reflections on Impermanence. “Everything flows and nothing abides, everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.”
~Heraclitus I’m reclining on a pebble beach, my bag tucked under my head, a can of Fanta to the right of me, above me, the sky and before me, the sea. It’s a few miles out. I came here alone. Friends had no time for me today. The sun is scorching everything today, partner-in-crime with the wind. I roll my spine into the pebbles and wonder what oysters taste like; I don’t eat animals, fish, crustaceans, or insects. A couple strolls down the concrete slipway on my left, stopping before the slippery green of the sea’s memory becomes a hazard.
You see, her partner has a video camera, one of those expensive HD ones. The people, the beaches, the bustle, the oyster shells; all are turned into a copy and later that copy will become a copy too. I look at the woman through the secrecy of my sunglasses.
