Focus on What You Do

Focus,
not on the rudenesses of others,
not on what they've done
or left undone,
but on what you
have & haven't done
yourself.

- Dhammapada, 4, translation by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

I am a divine, precious soul...

"Once you believe in yourself and see your soul as divine and precious,

you will automatically become a being who can create a miracle."

(Dr. Wayne W. Dyer)

The Best Healer is...

Compassion is the best healer!

-Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Ultimate Healing

What Makes a Sage?

A sage does not speak in terms of being equal, lower or higher. Calmed and without selfishness he neither grasps nor rejects.

-Sutta Nipata

Leave Egoism Behind

If you would be freed of greed, first you have to leave egotism behind.
The best mental exercise for relinquishing egotism is contemplating impermanence.
