Causes and Effects
If you plant good causes, you will reap good effects.
Here and now
Here and now are the only true places that anything can happen.
Future Plans
The future has not yet come and therefore there is no point worrying about it. What we should be doing is focusing on activities in the here and now.
Obstacles
Remember that facing obstacles is like giving strength to life.
All we need
Obviously we all need food, shelter and clothing and the company of others. For these reasons we should love each other and live together in peace and harmony.
A way of life
A good way of life is to be satisfied with what we have and do good actions.
Just start it now
We should see that the whole world is our school and that we can actually learn anywhere and at anytime. Let’s just start it now.
Learn
We need to learn from the experience which comes and goes through our life.
Working Life
It is sure that working must have some certain difficulties, more or less as said, “No work, and no mistakes”.
Life
A careless life can be a messy life. Life is like any journey, without good preparation one can get lost easily.
Sign of Happiness
"Indeed the sign of happiness is in your heart, you have to nurture and develop it."
Quality
Goodness depends on quality, not quantity.
The World
The world is large, so don’t limit it to name and form of opinion and judgment.
Tie up
Everything in this world is tied up with opinion, judgment and attachment. Then it becomes a worry and a difficult thing to let go of.
More Than Words
We should bear in mind that after learning and understanding, we have to put it into practice. And then what we have learned will be more meaningful and useful than words.
Harmony
Stop blaming each other, and work together in peace and harmony.
Kind-heartedness
Kind-heartedness sounds very nice to the world. Why isn’t it cultivated in our life?
Care, Caring, Careful
If we think it over, everything starts with oneself; if we can take care of ourselves, we can take care of others.
Handle Life
It is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
Two Sides
Everything has two sides, good and bad. We must use it wisely.
Moment
It is ok to suffer in its moments, but let it end in the moment. Don’t prolong the feeling by reliving it twice.
Loving kindness
In Buddhism, the teachings focus on Metta, or loving kindness, which encourages mankind to live together in peace and harmony.
Original Mind
All human beings possess original mind, which is pure and can be developed. So when we know about original mind, we can help them out, regardless of who they are.
The purpose of Life
Let us not forget to remind ourselves of the purpose of our life. Otherwise, we may be distracted by something else.
Purpose of Life
The purpose is not the expectation, because the expectation may create pressure in us if we cannot live up to it. The purpose is altogether different: it is like a plan, or guidepost, which tells us how to reach our destination.
Live in full mindfulness
Just live life in full mindfulness or awareness. Then it means to us what we give to it.
