Power of PATIENCE

There is no evil like hatred,

And no fortitude like PATIENCE.

Thus I should strive in various ways 

To Meditate on PATIENCE.

- verse two

Book 📚 by Shanthi Deva titled,

'A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life.'.

Dalai Lama 's favourite reference is to the verses in above book.

deadly anger

Whatever wholesome deeds,

Such as venerating the buddhas 

and (practising) generosity,

That have been amassed 

Over a thousand aeons,

Will all be destroyed 

In one moment of 

ANGER.

- first verse

A Guide to Bodhisattva Way of Life.

Useless worries

If a problem is fixable,

If a situation is such that you can do something about it,

Then there is no need to worry.

If it's not fixable,

Then there is no help in worrying.

There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

- The XIV Dalai Lama 

lingos

When you learn a language,

You also learn

To be 

Open-minded,

Liberal,

Tolerant,

Kind

And 

Considerate

Towards all mankind.

- Mouloud Benzadi

NATURAL, THE REAL STATE

 If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.

DHYAN: ....The First priority

 A most useful approach to meditation practice is to consider it the most important activity of each day. Schedule it as you would an extremely important appointment, and unfailingly keep your appointment with the infinite”

Live on less than you make...

Financial peace isn't the acquisition of stuff. It's learning to live on less than you make,

So you can give money back and have money to invest. You can't win until you do this.
