Native American Indian Blessing

Sisatchanalai National Park

"May the Sun bring you new energy by day
May the Moon softly embrace you by night
May the rain wash away your worries
May the breeze blow new strength into
your being...
May you walk gently through the
world and know its beauty all the
days of your life!"

Apache Blessing


" May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May the sunshine warm upon your face
and the rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of 
his hand"

Who am I ?


The embodiment of whirling thoughts and intentions solidified,
aggregates of patterns of similar tendencies encased in countless bodies.
A mist of mental energy and actions disguised as a towering mountain
The multiplication of craving emotions of a fleeting I!
A fragment of an illusion on a sphere floating in space,
the unity with the limitless crystal light forgotten!
Obsessed by a reasoning brain narrower than a splinter
that in the pursuit of knowledge knows nought!

Who am I?

The creation of my active imagination!

Leo Karma Choepel

Insight...


"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, 
and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things."

William Wordsworth

Gratitude and joy...


"Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. 
As it is cultivated, we experience an increase 
in our "sympathetic joy," our happiness  at 
another's happiness. Just as in the cultivation of 
compassion, we may feel the pain of others, 
so we may begin to feel their joy as well. 
And it doesn't stop there."

 Stephen Levine

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Greek wisdom...


"Whosoever wishes to know about the world must
learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season."

Heraklietos of Ephesos

Plato
