Even if another person is at fault, if you know how to adapt, adjust and accommodate you are rise above those situations. Still, the most difficult thing is to bear insult and injury. That needs a tremendous capacity to keep the mind under your thumb.

The Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi is a difficult one for us non-natives to grasp. The phrase has origins in religious concepts of solitude and seperation from society. This is not perceived as negative in the Buddhist tradition since isolation, when combined with other conditions, creates the right environment for enlightenment.

"Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38). We live in a highly materialistic society with myriads of temptations to hoard wealth and things, which have become a status symbol. We compete with each other to maintain as high a materialistic status as possible. We are consumed by selfish consumerism. If we fail to do so, we feel miserable and if we can do it, it is at the cost of our health and happiness. We are so busy in accumulating things that giving away something to someone doesn’t come to our mind. We recoil at the thought of giving away as our desire to hoard is very powerful. But giving is joyful if we give something without expectation of any return. Not only is it joyful but it brings abundance to the giver.

Do you want to be right… or do you want to make a difference in the world?

Deep introspection is the best way to find your inner self and the answer to any question you can think of. Meditation is the door to within.

Problems that exist in a couple’s relationship are manifested in their environment. As a Feng Shui practitioner, some of the things I would like to know about the couple are: how they feel together in their home, which rooms do they have more issues and problems, do they enjoy entering their home or do they especially enjoy leaving it? In addition, which elements in their home support each person; wood, fire, earth, metal or water. Are these elements available in their home to offer individual growth?

There was a time in my life that when people told me they were really “happy”, I thought they were either lying or too out of touch with reality to understand the question. I’ve now found that happiness really does exist and it is able to be found by anyone since it lies within us.

Taking someone else's cancer and putting it into me instead and they have a miricle healing.

This article is about how compassion came into my life. And about what compassion is. It is about the experience of compassion, the heart felt sensation beyond the mental understanding.

We participate in the collective karma of our nation and will harvest its outcome. But what we contribute to our collective fate depends on the level of our awareness.
