"Mazu Sono Kokoro Wo Tadase"

First purify your mind.

Nature itself is simple!

We should not assert that for which we do not have some proof.




"If a thing can be done adequately by means of one, it is superfluous to do it by means of several; for we observe that nature does not employ two instruments where one suffices" Thomas Aquinas, 13th century.

All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the right one!

Creating reality

Our consciousness creates reality.
Thought creates reality.
The truth that thought manifest in outer form holds true.
Consciousness or unconsciousness thought is there.
For this reason, we need to look at the great responsibility we assume for shaping life according to what we think and feel.
Seek to heal those parts of us that want less than our higher good.

Happiness matters in the end

Worldly happiness is conditional; it fades away when its conditions fall away.
Because True Happiness is unconditional; it requires nothing in particular to sustain it.
[Although we need to cultivate our spirituality and perfect our compassion and wisdom to attain it once and for all.]

All the suffering in the world arises out of wanting happiness for ones self.
All happiness in the world arises out of wanting happiness for others.

Happiness is not just a goal; it should be part of the process too.

Happiness

Find happiness in all things. Life is too short and happiness is very difficult. Don’t miss an opportunity to be happy. Mankind has a unique ability to be distracted by everyday trivia, and ordinarily does the opposite. People don’t miss an opportunity to be unhappy. To be unhappy is nothing.

To be happy is a great talent, a great intelligence, a great gift to give others. It is great awareness!

The Way of a Warrior

The Way of a Warrior is to manifest Divine Love, a spirit that embraces and nurtures all things!

Continued fighting with others, with ourselves, and with the environment, will ruin the earth. The world will continue to change dramatically, but fighting and war can destroy us utterly. What we need now are techniques of harmony and peace, not those of contention.

Grateful am I to have learned from a master!

You will soon realize that you create the mind in any way that you want.
You are master of your mind.

To become master of your mind, you must realize that understanding is control of the mind, and you have to work hard and diligently to master it.

Like the field under the wildflowers, the valley spirit is used by the Ten Thousand Things, but they are not necessarily aware of it. All one can say of the Tao is that "it seems to exist" - there is no physical evidence for its existence. It is still, empty, and inexhaustible.

The flowers are nourished by the field, but do not exhaust it. Likewise, the Tao enriches our lives, but there is no way we could ever "use up" the Tao.
