Blessed Saka Dawa Wesak

I would like to wish all my dearest dharma brothers and sisters a Blessed Saka Dawa Wesak with much love, and happy holidays tomorrow to all friends. May we commemorate the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Gotama Buddha with virtuous thoughts, actions and prayers for the benefit of all sentient beings.

Quote ~ His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

"My message is the practice of compassion, love, and kindness.

Compassion can be put into practice if one recognizes the fact

that every human being is a member of humanity and

the human family regardless of differences in religion,

culture, color, and creed.

Deep down there is no difference."

"We should try never to let our happy frame of mind be disturbed.

Whether we are suffering at present or have suffered in the past,

there is no reason to be unhappy. If we can remedy it, why be unhappy?

And if we cannot, what use is there in being depressed about it?

That just adds more unhappiness and does no good at all."

"By developing a sense of respect for others and a concern for their welfare,

we reduce our own selfishness, which is the source of all problems,

and enhance our sense of kindness which is a natural source of goodness."

"This is my simple religion.

There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.

Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."

"Walk on a trail of loving kindness
Walk on a path of compassion
And all else around you will be beautiful."
Every Blessing
