2021.07.17 | We cultivate the divine abiding of loving-kindness, which brings peace and coolness to the mind. Loving-kindness supports the world and allows us to live together in harmony. We can recollect the story of the Buddha in a past life as Suvannasama, when he perfected the parami of loving-kindness. We practice loving-kindness and the four Brahmaviharas throughout the day during all our various activities.

2021.05.10 | We recollect death – life is unsure, death is for sure. Having been born, one must die. And we have all been wandering on in this endless cycle of birth and death for such a long time. Therefore, we do goodness for the sake of shortening our time left in the cycle of birth and death, until we realize the state free of all birth and free of all death.

There are physical humans—and we can see many of them—but what’s more important is gaining the mind of a human. To reach this, we must be born again internally—born into goodness, virtue and peace.

2021.05.06 | When we hear news of someone having passed away, we should ask ourselves, “What would they have done if they knew they would die?” And what about us? When will we die? And what are we going to do with the time we have left in this life?

2021.05.05 | Even though we may go on pilgrimage to India, travelling the paths that the Buddha himself walked, we can only do this for a handful of days a year. We spend many days, however, in our own countries, so we should follow his steps right where we are. And we do this by walking the Noble Path of sīla, samādhi and paññā.
