Being peace comes first. Doing peace is something that comes from that foundation.

Your sorrow and anger will give you a lot of wisdom. Have the courage to look deeply, to accept these feelings and say, “Hello my pain, my sadness, I know you are there, I want to take care of you, I want to understand you, and I want to learn together with you.”

“Let us breathe in such a way that many persons become one person.”

“I vow to offer joy to one person in the morning, and to relieve the suffering of one person in the afternoon.”

You pray with your feet when you walk with mindfulness, and you touch the Kingdom of God, the Pure Land of the Buddha. You can see the effectiveness of the prayer right away.

The time when we are sad is a good time to cultivate the quality of stillness and peace in

When we’re at peace with ourselves, the elements of our body and mind will work together harmoniously, and that is the foundation of health.

Your body, your presence, and your consciousness overlap and occupy all of time and space. In that sense there is no “before” and “after” we die. We should generate enough of the energy of mindfulness and concentration so we’re able to have this awareness. Then we’ll transcend the notion of birth and death.

When you have had a moment of real happiness, it becomes easier to release the objects of your craving, because you are developing the insight that these objects will not make you happy.
