Hi, hello, yes, words are important.....

A Word (Emily Dickinson)

A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.


We must strive to make our own words kind. For all sorts of reasons. For ourselves as well as for others.

:yinyang:
Protecting oneself one protects others
Protecting others one protects oneself

Thich nhat hanh says 'breathe and smile'

Id doubtfully say something like
'breathe and see within'
'breathe and insight'
'breathe and slowly understand'

Why did he say to smile?

A genuine smile, a smile with the eyes. No words necessary; one of the best forms of communication (ahimsa). :thanks: :heart:

I have been searching in each piece of my alarm clock, to come to know how it is constructed. And now, it doesn't function anymore.
“We are each living in our own soap opera. We do not see things as they really are. We see only our interpretations. This is because our minds are always so busy...But when the mind calms down, it becomes clear. This mental clarity enables us to see things as they really are, instead of projecting our commentary on everything.” Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo.

The jewel lies in simplicity (simple life).

My religion is simplicity.

Amaunt of pain and suffering is potential, content, and form is form - how its realised. And best form is simplicity. (and simple life is monastic life)

An airplane can't take a way without getting height likewise you can't take a way without understanding the zen mind.

The ignorant work for their own profit, Arjuna; the wise work for the welfare of the world, without thought for themselves.

Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning.
(10 bulls no:9)

Translation:
Better to have no idea about anything from the beginning.

my comment:
Do not label any person or situation.
that when the mind is clear all is clear.
so give all your decisions with a clear mind;
and not according to someone and something.
