My thermos does such a good job of keeping my tea hot that it feels like I’m drinking iced tea.
SEMENTRA KITA SALING BERBISIK Sementara kita saling berbisik Untuk lebih lama tinggal Pada debu, cinta yang tinggal berupa Bunga kertas dan lintasan angka-angla Ketika kita saling berbisik Di luar semakin sengit malam hari Memadamkan bekas-bekas tela...
I am trying to persuade my family to spend more time in China. It's no fun to be in exile. I can't even figure out the basic 26 letters, let alone operate, in English. I often feel that although I've found the sky of freedom above my head, I've lost ...
[P]eople need to use their intelligence to evaluate what they find to be true and untrue in the Bible. This is how we need to live life generally. Everything we hear and see we need to evaluate—whether the inspiring writings of the Bible or the ins...
It turned out this man worked for the Dalai Lama. And she said gently-that they believe when a lot of things start going wrong all at once, it is to protect something big and lovely that is trying to get itself born-and that this something needs for ...
I loved reading the Dalai Lama's words: "My religion is loving-kindness." I realized that meant loving-kindness to everyone in my life: past, present, and future; and that meant loving-kindness to myself--in my pain, in my jealousy, in my fear.
Dream: I look for Lama Lodrö Kagyu teacher friend hearing he's ill & I'm ill, too - I enter his room and he says "I've been trying to find you - I wanted you to know illness is just phenomena
It's almost embarrassing how much support I have. I mean, I always tell people I feel like I'm perfectly set up to have cancer. I have great health insurance, I have a savings account. I have work lined up. I have friends and family. I have the best ...
„Sorry, jestli je to naprosto stupidní otázka, ale to navždycky zůstaneme takhle? Já tady šestnáctiletá a ty...“ Jaksi mi vypadl jeho věk. Kruci, to je ale trapas. Usměje se. „Stárneme pomaleji a jsme vlastně nesmrtelní, ale ne-mus...
Aku datang menghadap Mu, Tuhanku tuk menyerah dan mohon penyelamatan Aku mohon Kau maafkan salah dan dosa masa laluku yang setia mengejar tuk menggigitku dari belakang Penyesalan ini membadai di hatiku dan melemahkan niat hidupku Kini aku jiwa yang l...
I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be bro...
On the philosophical level, both Buddhism and modern science share a deep suspicion of any notion of absolutes, whether conceptualize as a transcendent being, as an eternal, unchanging principle such as soul, or as a fundamental substratum of reality...
I've always resented the force of attraction that traps me here on Planet Earth. It makes me feel like a bug stuck to a piece of duct tape. Ever since my teenage years, when I used to read a lot of science fiction and took it much too seriously, I've...
I write back to every fan who writes me, which is kind of a full-time job in some regards 'cause I don't want people to wait too long . So I get up very early in the morning and try to rip through all of them. I pretty much sleep four hours a night. ...
Seharusnya aku sudah tahu, bahwa dia memang sudah berubah. Hanya saja, aku sulit merelakan. Sulit memberi tahu diri sendiri bahwa semua orang bisa berubah, dan aku harus menerimanya. Namun, yang menyakitkan ternyata bukan kenyatan bahwa aku harus mel...
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said: 'Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not ...
ESPE: So, in both conversations, Lama Sangyay steers you away from thinking directly about Epifanio or your relationship (or lack thereof) and right into the nature of your mind. So masterful. CLARA: Isn't he? I hate those instructions. I do not want...
Ik rende naar de badkamer en kotste alles er boven de wasbak weer uit. Dat luchtte op. Ik spoelde mijn mond en strompelde terug naar het bed. Even later hoorde ik mijn vader roepen: 'Shit, Max, shít! Kon je het niet even opruimen?' 'Pa,' zei ik, 'ik...
When I speak about love and compassion, I do so not as a Buddhist, nor as a Tibetan, nor as the Dalai Lama. I do so as one human being speaking with another. I hope that you at this moment will think of yourself as a human being rather than as an Ame...
Muhammed'in “Cahiliyet” diye küçümsediği İslam öncesi dönemlerde kölelerin elleri “demir bukağı” (ki Türkçe'de buna “lâle” tabir olunur) ile boyunlarına zincirlenirdi; bundan dolayıdır ki bunlara “laleli esirler” denir...
If there is a true measure of a person's soul, if there is a single gauge of real divinity, of how beautifully a fellow human honors this life, has genuine spiritual fire and is full of honest love and compassion, it has to be right there, in the eye...
