Peace Within
|
|
“The most important factor in main-taining peace within oneself, in the face of any difficulty, is one’s mental attitude. If it is distorted by such feelings as anger, attachment, or jealousy, then even the most comfortable environment will bring one no peace. On the other hand, if
one’s attitude is generally calm and gentle, then even a hostile
environment will have little effect on one’s own inner peace. Since the
basic source of peace and happiness is one’s own mental attitude, it is worthwhile adopting means to develop it in a positive way.” —H.H. the XIVth Dalai Lama

Security
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do
the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no
safer in the long run than outright exposure. - Helen Keller

Mighty warriors
"The
Bodhisattva is like the mightiest of warriors; But her enemies are not
common foes of flesh and bone.
His fight
is with the inner delusions, the afflictions of self-cherishing and ego
grasping, those most terrible of demons that catch living beings in the snares
of confusion and cause them forever to wander in pain, frustration and sorrow. Her
mission is to harm ignorance and delusion, never living beings. These he looks
upon with kindness, patience, an empathy, cherishing them like a mother
cherishes her only child. She is the real hero, calmly facing any hardship in
order to bring peace, happiness and liberation to the world." --The Thirteenth Dalai Lama from his "Discourses"
