A suppression mind can bring great happiness!
Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draw it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follow a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves!

Overcoming obstacles!
defilements promise you so much but they never actually deliver. Whatever you have to do in life, embrace it…accept it… have fun with it…
Plant a plant and be grateful to the motherland!
Remember that my death could be in this moment!
Live life knowing that you will die, then you can let go of what you accumulate with craving. Live knowing that you will die thinking, about death.
Caring for elderly parents is a noble virtue, not caring is cowardice!
All religions should try to create a society that treats elders!
