#buddhist reflection

Some things are worth repeating; repetition being the drumbeat of the patient teacher. Words by Stephanie Mohan – July 4th 2015 photo – thanks friend Kapithra S.

Life can be a house of horrors or a  home of happiness; it all depends on how you respond.

Be willing to be surprised – #meditation

For meditation reflection:

If you are willing to be surprised, you are open to seeing new things and seeing things anew.

Allowing the vulnerability of not knowing, you can allow yourself to learn.

How open are you to being surprised?…to not knowing?…..to learning?

It just is what it is – #buddhism

The quality of something varies according to each beholder’s criteria and preferences: the same thing could be judged anywhere on a continuum from abysmal to fantastic…

….to itself, it just is what it is

Take responsibility – #buddhism

We conjure up our world, based on the labels we apply to it.

We respond to what we experience in that world based on our liking, disliking. or neutrality to those labels
