Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
After a hard day’s work, the night gives us an opportunity to take rest and relax. Thus, we get recharged and are ready for the challenges of the next day.
Only when service for a common good is the primary purpose are you truly leading.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
If we only practice compassion at the mind level, we run a great risk of our compassion being just talk. As we know, talk is cheap. To develop true compassion we have to put our money where our mouth is.
The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others’ burdens, easing other’s loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of Christmas.
