To be a monk is to have time to practice for your transformation and healing. And after that to help with the transformation and healing of other people.
Anyone who is practicing understanding and compassion can exemplify true power. Anyone can be a Buddha.
Breathing in, I am aware of my heart. Breathing out, I smile to my heart and know that my heart still functions normally. I feel grateful for my heart.
We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.
Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish.
People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?
