I am always,with you in spirit. Do not be affraid. Have faith in yourself and your purpose in life. Do not give up or doubt yourself or why you are here. You are a kind, virtuous, and noble person with a compassionate heart. These things are greatly needed in the world. So many people today have lost their direction. Help them to find it again. With great wisdom comes great responsibility. Go inward to find your spiritual strength. You will not find it in the world. Each of us is born with a special mission and purpose. We all are important to the welfare of the whole. We all have an important reasons why we are part of this planet at this particular place and time. What are yours? Go inside to search for the answers. Then live your life without fear or doubt. Be at peace with yourself and the world around you. Know that you are here to love and be loved. Meditate and pray more. Seek wisdom from the wise. Live in harmony with nature. Keep a gentle and compassionate spirit. Be cheerful and optimistic in the face of new difficulties and challenges. You still have much to do here. Be a light in the darkness. Give faith and hope and spiritual strength to the people around you.
Reflecting on human experience as a mirror to our own souls, we can observe the world with greater clarity of purpose. We all come from the same place, breathe the same air, and eat the same food. But we also grow and mature differently. Some people become fools and waste their lives in endless pursuit of sensual pleasures and hidden desires, while others become wise men and sages endowed with subtle minds and noble discouse. We may choose which path we wish to follow. Keep searching for the light, and it will find you. Be grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow. Keep a peaceful mind and heart.
The great light of the Buddha is already in me. I know it to be true. There is nothing outside of the Buddha. It is everywhere and in everything. I am in the world, but I am no longer part of the world. For to me there is no life and no death, only the eternal Buddha nature. Every day I pray for wisdom and discernment. And I ask for the spiritual strength to fulfill all my Boddhisatva vows.
See knowledge in the world and wisdom from heaven and the wise. Life is precious. Use it wisely. Seek spiritual enlightenment for yourself and others. Practice kindness and compassion to all. Be at peace. Know that your greatest purpose is to be a Boddhisatva, an instrument of limitless love and compassion. What I know from experience, I can teach you, but you must walk the path alone. Therefore take courage. Be brave. Do not fear death and darkness. Follow truth. Show loving kindness to all. This is the way of the sage, the ancient road to inner peace and spiritual enligjtenment.
Clouds come in many forms. Water flows in many directions. Flowers come in many shapes and sizes. But all of them are beautiful. I follow my heart, which tells me that I have a special place and purpose in this world.
The nectar of human compassion flows out from all directions, giving new life and new hope to a poverty-sticken world in need of peace, kindness, and joy. In times of affiction, compassion is a soothing balm to the mind and the soul. In times of loneliness and deprivation, it is food and drink for the body and heart. When danger is near it is a circle of light and comfort for the fearful, the afflicted, and the oppressed. When all else fails, compassion gives spiritual and physical nourishment to the old, the lame, the very young, and the forsaken. May this grace fall upon me: may I live not through greed and lust and avarice, but share what I have freely and selflessly with others around me. Let my life's spirit flow out to all those in need until I am no more. And may the blessings of the eternal creator shine forth from my innermost being to give strength and courage and power to a weary and troubled world to heal it and resore it to its natural state of love, virtue, balance, and equanimity. For I have been created on this earth to love and be loved, and to give freely without asking for return. For it is in giving that we receive; and it is in dying to ourselves that we are born to eternal life. This is the highest principle for human thought and conduct. May the mercy of the One God live in me and flow through me for as long as I exist and carry on through others in the ages yet to come. For where compassion exists, there is no death, only love and light.
I believe that the spiritual nature of each person is always peaceful, perfect, and serine, although it appears to change endlessly with the passing of time and external circumstances. The Buddha nature which is found at the very center the human soul is the immortal essence found in all things, as conveyed in the Buddhist mantra, "Om Mane Padme Hum", which essentially means the realization of the perfect jewel of enligtened consciousness inherent deep within every heart and mind.
Thank you. Spead your light. Give hope to the future. Care for all sentient beings. Practice unconditional love for all. Do not run away from pain, sorrow, and sacrifice. These things will heal you and others. All beings,angels, or devils, need your love. This world is also a Buddha world, and the true Buddha lies In your own heart. Look beyond appearances to see the inner Buddha nature in all things. Pray for all, serve all, and forgive all, including yourself. Practice wisdom and discrimination. Remain humble. This is a sure path to enlightenmrnt.
I bow and offer praise and thanksgiving to the Buddha residing in My own heart; the Eternal One; the Resplendent One; the one that does not die or fade away with the passage of time. This is the same Buddha nature that exists in all sentient beings everywhere, for we all possess the essential elements of divine grace and spiritual refinement, and we all emerge and evolve from the same creative source. When I look deeply inside myself, I see all sentient beings that have ever existed or will ever exist. I am aware of endless worlds forming, emerging, and then returning to their original Buddha nature. And I am joyful and content with this.
In the subtle realms of the spiritual world there is only light. Beyond life and death, even beyond time and circumstance, there is a stillness that is complete unto itself. This is the Buddha land where things are neither created or destroyed. As we begin to see with spiritual eyes, which clearly illuminate the hidden aspects of our lives, the physical world around us is suddenly filled with infinite light: the light of the human soul and the light of the consciousness inherent in all things. We suddenly see that each object, person, place, or thing, however minascule or remote, contains the Buddha nature and is illuminated by the Buddha mind and the Buddha heart. This light is found in all things and is manifested and reflected through all things, like the passage of water from a billowing raincouds, to the raging currents of a tempestuous river, to the waiting sea. From a single raindrop to a tollential flood, all water returns to the same source. Light, like the passage of water, is omnipresent in our daily lives. We see It with our eyes and we also feel It with our heart. It moves us from within to embark on a mysterious and magical Journey a spiritual journey into ourselves, and then manifests in everything we observe to be present in the world around us. Without this light, we would be blind to color and shape and form. We would not know depth or distance. It guides us through each waking day through the many signports and changes in our daily existance. It illuminates the details we experience in the world around us, and gives meaning and purpose and significance to our lives. It reflects what we see inside ourselves and know to be true and becomes a mirror to our innermost souls, a place of great beauty and power, from which we all emerge and to which we must eventually return.
I will become a pillor of light when the darkness is everywhere, I will rise up, like a fire in the night, to give strength and comfort to the weak, the lonely, the weary, and the oppressed. I will stand up boldly and fearlessly in the prevailing datkness and resist It and overcome It. I will show the world the value of virtue and nobility of character in the face of immorality, decadence, and decay. I will resist the rise of ignorance, oppression, and tyranny; and heal the wounds of hate and fear and violence and war. I will speak the truth to all those who will listen in the pesence of lies, deceptions, misconceptions, and manipulations. With the power of knowledge and will and virtue; I will cut the bonds of helplessness and dispair, and help people to develop the wisdom and inner strength to gain control of their lives again. I will become a spiritual warrior and a beacon of light in the world.
